Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg 馃嚛馃嚢 to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!

The fact that you are using a marketing term cloud as if it was an actual technological term is a bit dissuading to me. I cannot take this seriously. Though I wish you the best of luck!
@unusnemo I'm curious: which term would you use?
P.S. The "decentralization" part in the description seems to have resurrected some blockchain zombies 馃 Please be advised that cryptocurrencies are definitely _not_ within the scope of this project 馃槈
@floe great!! I've been also talking to some people about getting some workshops going to help less tech savvy researchers to use more FLOSS tools. to get funding to pay for the facilitators etc.
@floe I love that the photo is just students doing stuff instead of an energetic stock photo of smiling models that were cast to look like students!
@floe
Wow!
I don't know if I'm in the right moment in my life for a PhD, but this project seem tailor-made on myself!
It's amazing!
@floe sounds amazing! Decentralised software is very cool, but making it easily available is rarely prioritised. Hope you find your PhD on a decentralised platform 馃コ
@floe that sounds very interesting!
@floe Congratulations! Sounds very interesting!
@floe Congrats! It鈥檚 nice to see that you have chance for smaller grants! Here in 馃嚦馃嚧 it鈥檚 more like all-or-nothing, either you get one of the few projects with ~3 positions, or nothing at all.
/cc @loechti @nielsvanberkel @UlrikNyman @RaphaelWimmer @aquigley @andresmh - feel free to boost/forward to potentially interested students!
