+    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.
