Caltek.net has researched and identified arts, technology, and educational resrouces. Right now, we need to implement the openacs educational system to house, organize, and make these resources available in an elearning-intranet-environment. We will invite the ctcnets of California and a few other community, affiliate type organizations to assess and share in the benefits of using open source where appropriate, including in the types of training programs, they offer. This will further add to the shared educational resources available to all of us in the openacs educational system.
So, yes we (all two of us) are interested in inexspensive domain hosting for development of an openacs community system. Right now we are limping along with a situation where we have worked with a lowbandwith provider where we have ssh setup but because of security we can't restart the aolserver (which has been down, now for over 2 weeks while the sysop is on vacation)
Also, we would like to use the 4.5 because it has key modules that we need to use. Also, our current situation has the 3.xxx running rh 6.2.
We would love to have a conversation about setting up a development site that could grow and scale as needed. Our funds are limited to out of pocket right now, but we do have a concept for how to service non-profits and other community organizations with a combination of the existing openacs modules coupled with customized db back forms and a volunteer management system which we all can use.
While $25/mo sounds good we could commit to $20/mo or less and would want to physically come and setup our account at the hosting site. We would also round up more accounts for hosting, onces we get setup, ourselves.
sincerely,
