<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'.

<p>
<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.

<p>
<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.

We hope to build a federation of small independent hosting
providers. We would be glad to hear from you if you're interested!
