As part of Mozilla Festival 2017, we are inviting you to join us in
Databox [http://www.databoxproject.uk/] Hackathon event as a joint
summit hosted under the Mozilla Festiva
[https://mozillafestival.org/]l pre-week events and a BBC R&D
[http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog] community event.
Databox [http://www.databoxproject.uk/], started in October 2016 with
generous funding by EPSRC, envisions an open-source personal networked
device, augmented by cloud-hosted services, that collates, curates,
and mediates access to an individual’s personal data by verified and
audited, locally-executable, third party applications and services.
The DATABOX WILL FORM THE HEART OF AN INDIVIDUAL’s personal data
processing ecosystem, providing a platform for managing secure access
to data and enabling authorised third parties to provide the owner
with authenticated services, including services that may be accessed
while roaming outside the home environment. You can find out more
about the project on http://www.databoxproject.uk/
[http://www.databoxproject.uk/] and view the in-progress code
at https://github.com/me-box/ [https://github.com/me-box/].
We will present the public release of a working open source Databox
platform, which can be run on any device capable of running Docker
containers. We endeavour to provide support for ARM devices such as
the Raspberry Pi 3 for this release. This initial release has basic
data collection support through mobile sensing libraries and selected
APIs, provides basic data flow policing and privacy policy
enforcement, and supports installation and operation of simple
personal data processing apps. At this event we will briefly introduce
and demo the Databox to you, then we hope to engage with security &
privacy enthusiasts, data visualisation & analytics fans, and
potential app developers to begin building a community and ecosystem
around the Databox. We’re open to contributions of all kinds, from
improvements to core components, to helping you integrate your
favourite IoT devices, to brainstorming what apps and devices you want
to see the Databox support!
