Re: [Staffslug] The Open Hosting project

I have been thinking a bit, and I have come up with somewhat of an idea. I just want some input from you guys, and gals. I was thinking about an open source web hosting project, where we run a donations/ low cost based web hosting service that can benefit the Linux community, where the money received goes to a Linux project or a charity, or something like that. The basis of the idea is to get everyone involved in providing things like hardware to host a machine with a web hosting system on it. So people can have their own website on a sub domain for next to no money. Now, I've posted this on the Ubuntu UK thread, as well as my local LUG's to get ideas and input, and maybe use Ubuntu as the drive behind the project. I don't know, any input from people would be handy, I'm definitely willing to put some of my little free time to good use, I have machines, and a decent connection, but it stops about there. Finally, what makes this idea different from any of those other hosting services out there? Basically, the fact that it's going to be actually providing some kind of good to a Community or Charity. So yeah, ideas? Anyone? -- Kris Douglas Softdel Limited Hosting Services Web: www.softdel.net Mail: kris(a)softdel.net _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
