The Data Liberation Front (dataliberation.org) is now public – a part of Google outside the google.com domain (along with google.org which seeks and funds good ideas mainly in renewable energy and health).
The DLF aims to make it easy to both import and export YOUR data to and from the Google Cloud.
This is important – and you’ve got to love the name, which Google admit is a homage to the Life of Brian by Monty Python.
