This is an old revision of the document!


We will provide free IRC bouncers for unlimited IRC networks. We will also offer bots and relays that can be requested free of charge with no limits on networks. We provide free shell accounts running BSD and Linux, with a limit on 15GB storage but including irc clients, mail, bots, programming langs, and even PHP and MariaDB shared web hosting. We provide 15GB free email, file storage, code hosting (we will support git and cvs, possibly also subversion and mercurial). We will provide a free Google docs and calendar clone and audio/video calling. We also provide a free stack overflow clone and a free wiki, both which have a tight focus on only open source software.

On the art side, Aadam will help set up an open art community by writing tutorials and videos for producing freely redistributable artwork using purely open source software. He will also work on providing game servers for open source video games.

All software must be fully open source and have a tight focus on open standards, open source, and free sharing of information.

Now, how to earn money. The first is to charge for paid VPS plans:

These are unmanaged plans. We can charge additional fees for a managed service.
