About: I am co-founder of Caleido, a start-up from Zurich, Switzerland. For the last three years, we have researched and developed Wuala, a new way of storing, sharing, and publishing files on the internet. Unlike traditional online storage systems, Wuala is decentralized and can harness idle resources of participating computers to build a large, secure, and reliable online storage. This enables its users to trade parts of their local storage for online storage and it allows us to provide a better service for free.

After these three years, we are now ready to give a sneak preview of Wuala to the first people. I'd like to show you a demo and if you're interested, I can also give you an invite to the early closed alpha.
