A golden manifesto.
Devio.us came about one afternoon while brainstorming new possible projects. While other shell providers do exist, most of them lack a clear goal, or are ran by an inexperienced group of people. The servers are either unstable, insecure or the hardware is just plain bad. Realizing this sad state of affairs, we set out to create devio.us. While Kayla set out to design the site, the rest of the team started working on writing all the user administration utilities, automating tasks and setting up the environment. Shortly thereafter, the project was launched.
Goals
The goal of the project is to create a tight-knit IT related community that's made up of geeks, developers, IT professionals and enthusiasts. We want to meet new, cool people and have a common place to hang out and offer help to each other. In return, our server(s) are a common place for you to work on your project, do off-site work/testing or learn a bit more about OpenBSD.
Ultimately, we want to provide you with a secure and monitored environment run by experienced admins. And yes, we do this for fun.
In order to create a stable environment, there have to be rules.
You will not get an account if your sole purpose is to:
- Run an eggdrop/bnc
- Compile 'nmap' and scan the internets
- Be an elite hacker
- Tunnel traffic so you can access Facebook from work
