Trying to make a DIY server

[Nuno Castro]

Good people,

I'm currently planning a big endeavour. I have a small, but dedicated, team
of people who want to provide a decentralized, free and ethical web
solution for the Portuguese section of the IWA[1]. Our plan is to create a
server from scratch. I know of some projects, like Jerry, the DIY server[2]
and specific distros for hosting, such as yunohost[3]. But I was wondering
if anyone could give me tips or clues to get started and get going with
this demanding project.

We are planning to make local and nation-wide innitiaves promoting free
software, and if we could make this project happen, it would be a big boost
to our confidence and it would also be a starting point to make workshops
and lectures to share the knowledge we may acquire with the general
population, providing the basis to make an ethical, decentralized network
of independent service providers. Also, check out this amazing project
(it's mostly in catalan, but there's an English translation going on)[4].

Stay cool, happy hacking,

Nuno Castro

I just installed yunohost for my family on a debian squeeze and it works
very well. The only issue so far is that I can't make the calendar work
with owncloud. But I haven't investigated yet.

Good luck with your project, it's definitely a good thing yunohost and
others have more users. I also know Romain from Jerry and that's a great
project too. Are you already in touch with each other?

Thanks,
Hugo

Hey Hugo,

Thanks for sharing your experience with yunohost! To be honest, I've never
got in touch with Romain. Nor with anyone else from Jerry! Which is really
a shame! How could I get in touch with him/them? Would that be OK with
them? Thanks for all your help!

Caros,

Este tipo de projectos s?o o que deviamos tentar acompanhar para ganhar
neutralidade e ficar livre de depend?ncias. Pelo menos a filosofia que lhe
est? inerente.
