I know a lot of people are upset about Google Reader going away. I'm 
playing the world's tiniest open source violin for you. If people want a 
web based RSS reader, HUMBUG members are welcome to ask me for an 
account on my ownCloud instance which has ownCloud News installed.

ownCloud News recognises OPML so this means that you should be able to 
export your feeds from Google Reader and import them (I heard Google 
Reader does OPML).

ownCloud also has user profile exporting so if you get tired of my 
instance or get your own, then you can can just up and move somewhere 
else (there are commercial instances) though the migration archive 
doesn't seem to include feeds in the archive yet, so you will have to 
export your OPML and save that.

I will be at the meeting tomorrow if you want to see it in action.
