+    $collective Hosting Letter
+    --------------------------
+    
+    $collective is part of an intersection of various groups that discuss politics and
+    technology in different ways. We work with internet servers turned to various
+    cooperative goals. Then, our ideia is to colaborate with groups/projects that
+    are part of mutual and multiple aid and support.
+    
+    $collective is an autonomous project kept by a collective of volunteers. One of our
+    main goals is the collective creation of public spaces, common areas with projects and
+    groups that intend to enforce and straighten coexistence.
+    
+    Our intention is not just offer a "hosting service" and then we're not available
+    for groups that just want such thing. We want that groups we host colaborate with
+    the construction of a neighborhood, a rhizome, meaning that technology doesn't have to be
+    a barrier, but exactly the opposite. As technology is also a social construction,
+    its purposes, its configurations and the processes it interferes with can't
+    impose themselves independently of the choices made by the social groups where it's used.
+    
+    The internet is not only an environment of cooperation, but also of apropriation and
+    exploitation of common goods. We understand that it just turns essentially into a
+    public space when people can control their production and access means, things that
+    don't happen on corporate and governmental spaces. Because of this we try to
+    create public spaces, non-corporative and non-governmental and we hope that
+    groups we host colaborate to the construction of such spaces.
+    
+    During the construction of these kind of spaces, we make discussions where we try to
+    discover themes such as culture, society, technology, activism, social change
+    and many others. Such a research, when possible, is shared pubicly.
+    
+    We research the political implications of technology and develop systems and
+    instruments using different political values. We also keep a political dialogue
+    in the logics of theory/practice.
+    
+    So, one of our proposals is to collectivelly establish a network of mutual
+    support among groups and individuals interested in sharing the same physical
+    structure to share their knowledges, activities and researches.
+    
+    We attempt then to break the relation between service provider/clients,
+    because we're not service providers and the groups/individuals we host are not
+    our clients.  We both make part of the same collaboration network where diverse
+    interests converge towards mutual empowerment. And who knows if such way of
+    organizing things won't spread to other parts of society.
+    
+    Thinking about knowledge distribution and with an incentive to new groups
+    interested in keeping their own server infrastructure, we try to share the most of
+    our organization scheme.
+    
+    And remember: for us, $collective is not just a hosting system or a service provider.
