Good people,
I'm currently planning a big endeavour. I have a small, but dedicated, team of people who want to provide a decentralized, free and ethical web solution for the Portuguese section of the IWA[1]. Our plan is to create a server from scratch. I know of some projects, like Jerry, the DIY server[2] and specific distros for hosting, such as yunohost[3]. But I was wondering if anyone could give me tips or clues to get started and get going with this demanding project.
We are planning to make local and nation-wide innitiaves promoting free software, and if we could make this project happen, it would be a big boost to our confidence and it would also be a starting point to make workshops and lectures to share the knowledge we may acquire with the general population, providing the basis to make an ethical, decentralized network of independent service providers. Also, check out this amazing project (it's mostly in catalan, but there's an English translation going on)[4].
Stay cool, happy hacking,
Nuno Castro

P.S.: pessoal da ANSOL, desculpem estar a escrever em en_US, ainda que saiba que nao e problema.
Caros,
Este tipo de projectos são o que deviamos tentar acompanhar para ganhar neutralidade e ficar livre de dependências. Pelo menos a filosofia que lhe está inerente.

I just installed yunohost for my family on a debian squeeze and it works very well. The only issue so far is that I can't make the calendar work with owncloud. But I haven't investigated yet.
Good luck with your project, it's definitely a good thing yunohost and others have more users. I also know Romain from Jerry and that's a great project too. Are you already in touch with each other?
Thanks, Hugo
Hey Hugo,
Thanks for sharing your experience with yunohost! To be honest, I've never got in touch with Romain. Nor with anyone else from Jerry! Which is really a shame! How could I get in touch with him/them? Would that be OK with them? Thanks for all your help!
