				<h1>Manifesto</h1>
				<p>
				We are saddened by the state of the world, and role that IT - which,
				for many of us, is our working field - is taking in it. We see the
				current uses of these technologies as major social, political,
				economical and ecological offender. They, however, are not going away
				anytime soon, and are nonetheless formidable tools for human
				communication.
				</p>
				<p>
				This lets us not choice but to fight to bring them closer to our vision
				of <b>what</b>, <b>how</b> and <b>why</b> they should be.

				<strong>There is no such thing as 'green' or 'sustainable' IT.</strong>
				<br />
				It will always require high-tech globalised insdustries, as well as
				rare and hard to get resources. A maddening amount of those are throwed
				away: we get (most of) our hardware from the second-hand market... and
				landfills. We try to be the lesser evil but are not and will never be
				'green'.

				<strong>IT and 'high tech' in general is not necessarly the right solution to a
					problem.</strong>
						<br />
					They are no different from any other tool. You can't work around a
					ill-defined problem by aimlessly throwing resources and 'solutions'
					at it.

				<strong>For the better or worse, we already live in a world controlled by
					technology.</strong>
				<br />
				We can't let an anyone size its control: we work in the open, with open
				tools, gladly welcome anyone who want to join and don't lock them in.

				<strong>We fight against the use of technology as a mean of control an
				manipulation.</strong>
				<br />
				We fight against centralization, both from technical and governance
				reasons. We are not one, but a federation of small hosting providers
				with similar ideology.
