Costs involved?We divide all costs (hardware, software, services, etc.) evenly each month, unless the hardware is donated. However, certain equipment is not communal. For example, the individual computers on our network are each owned by an individual member. Items like the router, the UPSs, and the network switches (except those that were "donated") are communally owned. | ||||||||

We are a collective of people that manage a co-lo facility together. Originally there were a number of people that wanted to put servers on the internet, but didn't have DSL in their area. We found someone that did, and had a lot of basement space. That was many years ago. Now we are various and sundry oddballs that run a little machine room in someone's basement... all on a 1.1M DSL line. | |||||||

What do people do with their hosts?Basically, anything that won't use too much bandwidth. We really, really, really want people's projects to be so successful that they have to leave the collective and get real bandwidth at a real co-lo. However, until that day, we're glad to have a place for us losers to call our own. Some example projects:

The idea is that the services provided here don't take too much bandwidth and everyone "plays nicely" with each other. If we ever do feel that we're running out of bandwidth, we may (1) ask the members to cut down their use, (2) ask the more successful services to find their own connectivity, (3) collectively decide to get more bandwith.What the collective ISN'T
