Dear friends, We are contacting you for updating you on a new way of collaborating in the growth of our community. As you know, Comunes, Ourproject, Kune y Move Commons have lived an extraordinary growth in the last times. This growth has required to increase the capacity of the servers and infrastructure of Comunes. In […]
Bad news… The Comunes collective has several servers to handle the initiatives under its umbrella: Ourproject.org, Kune, Move Commons, etc. Well, a few days ago two hard disks (from a RAID) failed. Translation for non-geeks: serious issues with our machines. Our servers are somehow old (several years) and this is a clear warning: it’s time […]

Looking at the forthcoming Kune, Ourproject geek-only technology looks old and rusty. However, it seems as if these days it’s shouting out loud that it’s still very alive and attractive for many. Ourproject […]
It is common that free/open source software collectives have issues for hosting their projects. Many of them just choose to externalize them, hosting them in foreign companies that offer such services. The ones that choose to keep their projects in their own servers (such as Comunes), face problems, continuous efforts and costs associated to high-bandwidth […]

When a person or collective needs to have a space in internet: Either they […]
