Perkeep (originally Camlistore) is a project to help you keep your online memories for life, whether those memories are small "Likes", tweets, bookmarks, GPS logs, or 5TB video files.

In today's always connected world we live in, a major part of your life events are stored online in one form or another. And as we all know, this data is spread all over the web, but it is for the most part hosted, and owned, by corporations with ever-changing priorities and sometimes questionable financial viability. These silos not only make it impossible to access your life data as a whole in a unified and convenient way, but they also make the future of your online memories completely uncertain. Even if these corporations survive, access to your data in the long term, may not.

This is where Perkeep comes in. It is a set of open source formats, protocols, and software for storing, syncing, sharing, importing, modeling and backing up content. It allows you to reclaim control of your data, by enabling you to store them on the platforms of your choosing, and by giving you the tools to keep on making use your data.

In this presentation, we will cover Perkeep's goals, design, paranoia, and principles in depth, and demonstrate typical use cases. We will then focus on the last couple of years of progress, and notably the newest features.

Finally, we will lay out future plans, to make Perkeep your personal storage system for the decades to come.
