Hallo zusammen,
ich habe das hier bereits an discussion@fsfeurope.org geschickt, poste es aber der Vollständigkeit halber hier noch einmal. Ich bin auch so frei und erspare mir die Übersetzung ;)

Dear fellows,
I think it would be nice to have our own multi user unix system that provides shell accounts and maybe additional services to us. Every fellow could have his/her own shell account and access to the following programs:
* IRC clients (e.g. irssi) * jabber clients (e.g. mcabber) * mail clients (e.g. mutt, pine) * compilers (gcc etc.) * screen/tmux * git
Additional services could be:
* OpenVPN service, so fellows can encrypt their connection when they are on the road * web site hosting * databases (MySQL, postgresql etc.) * SSH tunneling * File storage
In order to start this project, the following two conditions have to be fullfilled:
* Enough fellows have to show interest in such a system * Besides me, I would need two other fellows with skills in Linux/Unix administration (and maybe in IT security) who will take care of the system
If this will be the case, I would suggest the following procedure:
* I would rent a single server system and an additional FTP account as backup space * We (the 3 admins) would build up a system with some basic services, harden it and develop/implement scripts for the automation of administrative tasks like account creation etc. * We and some some volunteer beta testers would play around with it * The FSFE would take over the server and its rent * The system would be open for all of us * Additional services could be added
What do you think?
Cheers, Michael
