<h1>Manifesto</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are saddened by the broken state of the world, and
|
|
the role that IT - which, for many of us, is our working
|
|
field - is taking in destroying it. We see the current
|
|
uses of IT technologies as major social, political,
|
|
economical and ecological offenders. However, computers
|
|
are not going away anytime soon, and are formidable
|
|
tools for human communication.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This leaves us with no choice but to fight to bring IT
|
|
infrastructure as close as possible 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 thrown 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 can never
|
|
be 'green'.

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

<strong>
|
|
For better or for worse, we already live in a
|
|
world controlled by technology.
|
|
</strong>
|
|
<br />
|
|
We cannot let any single entity seize control of
|
|
our tech: we work in the open, with open tools,
|
|
gladly welcoming anyone who wants to join, not
|
|
locking them in our ecosystem.

<strong>

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