The GNU Operating System

GNU social, true to the Unix-philosophy of small programs to do a small job, will be a decentralized social network that you can install on your own server

What if you could authorize your server to reveal as much, or as little information about you to other sites, as you wish... one time, one day, or forever?

You can use GNU social today — by downloading code from gitorious, or by installing StatusNet.

Please note: there is currently a bug in StatusNet that prevents GNU social from working on PHP 5.3. Version 5.2 and earlier versions of PHP5 are fine.

Enabling GNU social in your Status.net install...

Get our plugin, template (tpl) and theme from gitorious...

Enable the GNUsocialTemplatePlugin in your config.php:

require_once('plugins/GNUsocialTemplatePlugin.php');
$tpl = new TemplatePlugin();

Future enhancements to come — Duki Duki Snail (almost ready for testing), as well as plugins for various media types.
