Hi Bruce, (((h'lo)))
I have read your post about FreedomBox on Wired. It is an important need that society requires at this juncture.
Our Tonido and TonidoPlug project is exactly doing the same thing for last 2 years. We are shipping the products based on Tonido platform for quite some time now.
In short, Tonido is a peer-to-peer personal web platform that helps users to access, share, sync important files, favorite photos, music and media with friends and family without relying on third party public online services.
As FreedomBox, TonidoPlug is based on debian derivative Ubuntu OS and powered by Tonido platform. It can do all the things that are promised by FreedomBox already - P2P Backup, P2P messaging, P2P Collaboration, File & Music sharing and much more.
I have put together a small demo instance for you to check out. It wont take more than couple of minutes of your time.

(((Really, how kind of you, my own "personal cloud"... This should be really mainstream in about 30 years)))
We can also send you a TonidoPlug unit to you, if you are interested. Please feel free to mail me if you need more information on Tonido project.
Looking forward to hear from you.
