-    Hi :)

-    

-    Agreement on Hosting

-    --------------------

-    

-    We discussed and we agree to offer hosting as you requested. Now, in order for we to

-    effectivelly maintain this hosting, we need to:

-    

-      1. State what is our commitment  in relation to this hosting.

-      2. That you and/or your group agree with the present term of agreement and

-         with our Hosting Policy.

-    

-    These are mutual commitment agreements, where we explain what is our commitment

-    with the hosting and that the hosted part needs to agree so we can keep such

-    relation.

-    

-    In case you agree with the terms of this letter and accept our Hosting Policy,

-    just reply saying so and the hosting will start as soon as possible. :)

-    

-    Our commitment

-    --------------

-    

-    We commit ourselves to keep the hosting working. The hosting maintenance

-    happens through volunteer and responsible work.

-    

-    The used infra-structure is stable, but subject to eventual power and network

-    outages or even more sensitive problems.

-    

-    Then, sometimes hosting can go offline. We will always be allert and we care

-    for security and integrity of the hosted data. But, for a lot of reasons, we

-    cannot garantee the total availability or even the eternity of such data.

-    

-    We commit ourselves as much as possible to keep security copies of the data we

-    host. But we ask for you to also arrange, as much as possible, backup copies of

-    your data.

-    

-    Our group is composed by people that do a lot of tasks. The most important and

-    sensitive tasks, such as hosting, are dependent to other taks and each one is

-    associated to a workgroup of responsible persons.

-    

-    It may happen that someone leaves a workgroup and eventually some tasks will lack

-    commited people to get them accomplished. It's on this sense that we garantee

-    hosting: according to the available workforce at our group. It's possible that,

-    in the future, something happens and we stop hosting in a given platform.

-    But, if we do so, we garantee that it won't happen from night to day and we'll

-    give enough time for you and your project to migrate the data somewhere else.

-    

-    We also have the commitment to inform, when you ask, our procedures according to

-    our accounting policy. Such procedures vary from privacy and security policies

-    to choices of platforms and our group's situation.

-    

-    As our procedures can change with time, we recommend you to ask for procedures

-    descriptions when you feel necessary.

-    

-    We have our limitations but we'll keep things working as much as we can. :)

-    

-    Your commitment

-    ---------------

-    

-    We hope that you and/or your project use the offered resource with wisdom.

-    Don't ask for websites and tools if you will abandon them. If you install your own

-    programs, please have the responsibility to keep it up-to-date as security holes at

-    your place can compromise other hosted projects.

-    

-    Please don't forget that the maintenance of multiple projects needs a lot of work

-    and is difficult to keep secure. Then we ask for everyone's collaboration. We would be

-    very pleased if you informed us about your plans to install tools in your space. :)

-    

-    Sharing interfaces

-    ------------------

-    

-    A possible space for interactions among projects is the Neighborhood Mailing

-    List[1] (subscription just for sufficiently secure mail accounts, get in touch for

-    more information). When we host groups and individuals, we hope that they will also

-    be responsible in what comes to taking care of such spaces.

-    

-    Our neighborhood is also a place for articulations, where all groups and

-    individuals sharing the same infra-structure can communicate between

-    themselves.

-    

-    If the subjects we research are inspiring for you too, we invite you to

-    participate in such discussions. To avoid centralization, we propose you to

-    collectivelly discuss with your group and publish the conclusions you

-    get. For us it is fundamental to try to build a metodology that makes possible the

-    dissemination of such discussions.
