Cypherpunks, I run a 501(c)(3) non-profit focuses on providing free, donation-based colocation to individuals and other non-profits (i.e., no companies are hosted. Additionally, we try to do things that are useful to the not-for-profit Internet community as a whole; for instance, we run a freenode.info IRC server (freenode is used by a lot of Open Source development groups to coordinate developer teams).
I'd like to understand how we could be useful to the cypherpunk community. I've got some wild guesses (run a public keyserver, run a mixmaster node, etc), but I don't really know what is most badly needed, or how we could provide the most bang for the bandwidth buck. (We do pay for bandwidth, so "serving up Debian ISOs" is not a viable way we can help the community at this time.) Ideally, we'd like to find applications that don't use a lot of bandwidth (<500kbps aggregate), but require a server that's got a fixed IP, is up all the time, and has very low latency to most of the Net. How can we help? David E. Weekly Founder & Director California Community Colocation Project http://CommunityColo.net/ PS: We are entirely volunteer-based. Nobody gets paid.
