Hi Michael and other fellows,
It would be a nice initiative, I think it would be nice if IRC and
jabber are provided. I must say I have my own server for the other
things you mention, but I would certainly be interested if more people
are expressing their need for this service.
I am a linux/unix administrator and also have some experience in
security, so if you decide to rent this server, I would be willing to
help out with building it and administering.
Regards,
Marjan

Dear fellows,
I think it would be nice to have our own multi user unix system that
provides shell accounts and maybe additional services to us. Every
fellow could have his/her own shell account and access to the following
programs:
* IRC clients (e.g. irssi)
* jabber clients (e.g. mcabber)
* mail clients (e.g. mutt, pine)
* compilers (gcc etc.)
* screen/tmux
* git
Additional services could be:
* OpenVPN service, so fellows can encrypt their connection when they
are on the road
* web site hosting
* databases (MySQL, postgresql etc.)
* SSH tunneling
* File storage
In order to start this project, the following two conditions have to
be fullfilled:
* Enough fellows have to show interest in such a system
* Besides me, I would need two other fellows with skills in Linux/Unix
administration
(and maybe in IT security) who will take care of the system
If this will be the case, I would suggest the following procedure:
* I would rent a single server system and an additional FTP account as
backup space
* We (the 3 admins) would build up a system with some basic services,
harden it and
develop/implement scripts for the automation of administrative tasks
like account
creation etc.
* We and some some volunteer beta testers would play around with it
* The FSFE would take over the server and its rent
* The system would be open for all of us
* Additional services could be added
What do you think?
Cheers,
Michael
