[Imc-africa] tech (but not only) proposal from switzerland-tuscany

[killerina]

Hi all!
This mail has been written with the consensus of bolobolo tech lists
subscribers.
Few months ago Switzerland and Tuscany activists of the indymedia
network decided to donate a new server to the global imc network
because imc tuscany will need a new home and imc switzerland thought
that they could help out with the current bottleneck of servers due to
the loss of various systems.
In tuscany there's a group of activists trying to complete a process
for a new  network node (that should be toscana.indymedia.org) and in
switzerland they are carrying on their project(s).
We now have a new server
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Sysadmin/BoloBoloInfo managed in this
mailing list: http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/bolobolo-tech
Thanks to some tech work, the server is now ready (here you can read
more tech news about bolobolo server:
http://lists.indymedia.org/pipermail/bolobolo-tech/2007-March/0305-rr.html . 
The server is located in Europe and therefor it will mainly host only
non-european imcs.
But we want this to be a political project and not only a technical
stuff. What we would like to do is to share the server with new Africaans
and Asian imcs that would need a place to stay. We want to host imcs from
africa and/or asia, to renforce the network by this kind of
cooperation. So if some imc, working in these continents, has some
problem with finding and managing a server, here we are!
Toscana.indymedia.org and video.indymedia.org will stay on this server
too. Both Tuscany and Switzerland will pay the cost for the housing of
the box and the bandwidth, as well they had bought the hardware.
However, we are happy about any kind of donations, so that we might ask for 
some money to the global finance working group in the future.
If you are intersted in this project, write an e-mail to bolobolo list 
(bolobolo-tech at lists.indymedia.org , that is even the place where we can 
share techincal knowledges about the server configuration and such things) or 
jump in #bolobolo-tech on the indymedia irc network.

solid.
