Non-Profit Colocation?
dew asks: "I've just
put together what might be the world's first non-profit focused on
providing colocated Internet access for individuals, non-profits, and
Open Source groups. We're called the
California Community Colocation
Project and we're part of a 501c3. We do not host any for-profit
endeavors, personal or commercial. We've just opened our Palo Alto
facilities and have multiple fiber drops to
PAIX, where our
upstream provider is heavily
peered. I started this project to be as useful as possible to the
non-profit and Open Source worlds: how would you best recommend I do
that? Compile farms? A SourceForge mirror in case they go down?"
You might consider locating both your organization and it's infrastructure in a friendlier country so you don't get shut-down by your government. Lot's of non-profit projects and groups are involved in activities that are not legal in California.
