- 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.
