Hello,
Does anyone here have a host with lots of disk space =
and
good bandwidth that they’d like to volunteer for a good cause? =
Since last summer, we have been hosted on =
tangent.dune.net,
a really great ISP that has backed our efforts to develop a suite of =
Java-based
apps we’d like to freely share with anyone who is interested. The =
current
economic climate as well as nasty denial of service =
attacks
against tangent have us concerned about the future. We’ve =
been
told that weeks or months from now, dune.net may be forced to shut down
operations.
We very much hope that that won’t happen, but =
we’d
like to take some precautions and find another host where we can =
replicate at
least our intranet so that our development efforts can keep going
uninterrupted. Even if dune.net survives long into the future, we would =
really
love to have another reliable server that we can use to assist with our =
development
work. Since we’re going to be making heavy use of networking =
throughout
our products, having a second server would really help us out a lot and
hopefully allow us to implement failover should dune.net not pull =
through.
What we need is a host running the latest Apache web =
server,
PHP, CVS pserver, and the Orion Java app server. We need a couple of =
shell
accounts for our two environments (development and production), and a =
couple of
user accounts for admin purposes.
Since ours is a volunteer effort, we don’t have =
any
money to offer, but we’d be glad to help in any other way that we =
can.
If you’d like to learn more about what =
we’re
doing, you can have a look at http://dev.noumenaut.com,
or you can listen to <blush> a failed audio experiment (Real Audio
format) that nevertheless conveys the basics and may
even make you laugh a little. :)
Thanks a lot!
