Brennan: Social Igniter posting to Twitter, App.net, ~~Facebook,~~ IRC, email
Jan: mostly Email, Github, IRC, ownCloud. Some Textsecure/SMS, Twitter, Meetup.com
Malte: mainly Email, IRC, Diaspora
Joe: Medium
Garret: mostly Github, IRC. Facebook with friends, some Foursquare
Diego: mostly Facebook and Twitter, email, Github
Joachim: problem that most networks are very quantitative than qualitative. Working on Jolocom
Christian: removed entries from every social network 2 years ago. Problem: getting judged by others on posts and superficial aspects. Their inability to present diversity in a character. Inability to - at least easily - push only relevant info to the relevant people (groups are not sufficient) Also working on Jolocom
Jon : all of them. federation and transclusion missing everywhere

Of the current "silos" what do you use?

What is your ideal publishing platform for a more open, decentralized, free, and IndieWeb in one sentence

bnvk: a way to collaboratively organize events & calendars using IW protocols
jancborchardt: a simple unified cross-platform messaging tool
almereyda: flow charts of POSSE and PESOS and Bridgy and Webmention
- and IndieAuth / omniauth / WebID integration for four-point-five linkedopendata stars : https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth/issues/61
DR: Promote POSSE and give people tools to became owners of their own identity.
AS: a tool that properly reads my mind
Joachim: More qualitative networks. Everyone could have their own mini-platform. Try to prevent overflow of information
Christian: Less noise, not cluttering people’s attention. Something which is personally tailored

Start publishing from it
- Purchase a domain name
- Purchase hosting
- Use your own hardware + something like PageKite (http://pagekite.net)
- alternative : https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok
http://readwrite.com/2014/06/27/raspberry-pi-web-server-website-hosting#awesm=~oItCpp8SXyZb76
Engage / encourage your community (software) provider Diaspora, Discourse, etc... to implement IW support
- (Jon) From my experiences, it is very hard to convince regular users to use interfaces they don't know yet, are not used to. A handbook, helpful advice or arguments would be highly appreciated.

=== Ideas for platforms & tools**

Self hosted "box" solutions
- Indie Box http://indieboxproject.org/blog/
- ArkOS https://arkos.io
- Cozy https://www.cozycloud.cc
- ownCloud https://owncloud.org
Indie App Store** **http://indiewebcamp.com/store
Better authentication with PGP keys
- Kirby Auth App http://indiewebcamp.com/kirby-login-app
- Indie Auth PGP signin
Integration with "other" tech tools & apps
- Mailpile - leveraging IndieWeb contacts and exposing email threads for public discourse
  - +1 for exposing email threads, which would basically render e-mail the original decentralized network
"The Poster"
- Posting to multiple platforms while retaining the metadata they belong together.
"The Reader"
- Postings from different platforms that conform to the same posting action are grouped together.

Crowdfunding
- Mailpile raised $170,000 https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mailpile-taking-e-mail-back
Company supporting the project
- ownCloud has a company providing support and additional business features https://owncloud.com
- support and added company features is a classic open source business model, see Red Hat, Canonical, …
Getting a grant
- NLnet (Unhosted & remoteStorage was funded by them)
- Pagekite got a grant from the Icelandic government https://pagekite.net
- Knight Foundation
