We see that the cloud is getting popular day by day. We now have data which is ubiquitous and the cost is real low. Its amazing that we can access it over our powerful desktops as well over mobile phones.
But it has its own share of problems. Which are namely no guarantees, no control over data, privacy is a big concern and backup and recovery is a missing. Even bigger issue is that if business decides to shut down, customers are left in the cold.
I feel that the solution to all this is keeping the data at your own home. We can do so using dedicated data servers or use a simple GUIless Linux servers on your old PC. You already have a high speed broadband at home. So you can connect to your data server(DS) from anywhere.
Next what is needed is that though your server address is known to you via domain name. That can be made possible via a dynamic redirection service. It can be some shared location where your current IP of your DS is available. So now you connect to it, and login to get access to your data.
But this has its own share of problems. Backup is still depended on you. Dynamic redirection must work well and your broadband should work well. The final question is how good would be an application for this kind of a setup.
Friends, this is my thought. I hope we can have some good discussion over it.

Nice topic… But the ubiquity part is still a grey area… With the various kind of devices that are falling into the market space on a daily basis, DLNA might not entirely be a proper solution!
The problem that would arise would primarily be somthing to this effect:
Contacts / SMS / Calendar goes over SyncML, Media over DLNA-like-protocols, Internet over raw TCP as usual… The instructions go over XML / REST, this is crazy!!!
I’ll hold up my further comments till the session!!! Attending this I AM!!!
Chao…
I am landing in BLR in the wee hours on 8th. Hopefully you are discussing it on the second day :).
anytime people are ready to have a discussion, I will be there 🙂
Very Interesting thought
Thinking it deeper..Are you saying something like skinnable data layer (like the skinnable web layer)..data at home and presentation with someone else? gmail’s slick interface but the mail db is in my cloud @ home server?
Yes exactly. This would enable me have control over the data and the advantages of cloud as well. as of now I have to be very optimistic about my data 🙂
Isn’t PogoPlug exactly what the discussion is about?

Yes exactly. This is definitely something that I had in mind. Never knew this kind of a device existed. Seems like the way forward to me.
Hay man…this topic looks cool to me…unfortunately I’m also arriving Bangalore on 8th, after a 13hr long flight 😛
Hope I’ll be able to catch few topics like this on 2nd day.
From my previous 3 barcamp experience there are less planned sessions on 2nd day, but the sessions are more relaxed and discussion oriented, and far more opportunity for networking.
Cheers.
