Unhosted - Imagine personal data freedom... Fellowship interview with Michiel de Jong « Fellowship Interviews. Fellowship interview with Michiel de Jong Michiel de Jong Michiel de Jong has worked as a programmer, researcher and sysadmin in Amsterdam, Oxford, London and Madrid, where he ended up as a scalability engineer for Spain’s national social network Tuenti. In Winter 2010 he took a two-month hacker’s holiday in Bali to set up the Unhosted project. He now lives in Berlin, with Kenny Bentley and Javier Diaz, where they plan, donations permitting, to work on the project full-time. Chris Woolfrey: Would you like to explain the Unhosted project in your own words? Michiel de Jong: There are several ways you could explain it; my favourite angle is the software freedom angle.
