By Björn Schießle.
I am the owner of my data!

Back In The Past
- everybody owned a pc at home
- data is stored localy
- simple install open source software to ensure you are the owner of your data
Today
- multiple pcs
- access should be possible from everywhere
Open Questions In New World
- where is my data stored
- how has access to it
- what happens if i change the service provider
- what happens if the service provider changes core functions
User Data Manifesto In Short Terms
- user has full control who has access to the data
- user has to know where date is stored (server location, how is responsible of the server)
- user has the right and the possiblility to switch to an other service provider (data are exportable, open standards are implemented)
