Description : server for a small organisation, internet hosted and web accessed and managed
The Small Orgnasation Server aims to provide many of the needs of a small
organisation which does not have access to a technically skilled system
administrator, in a single hosted system. The package depends on widely used
systems such as Postfix and Dovecot for email, and simplifies configuration by
limited options to those suitable for a small organisation. It acknowleges
that people often have more than one interest, so aime to federate and work
well with other systems, based on open standards.
The aim is to provide a small organisation, such as an arts group, dance class
model railway socient etc with a viable alternative to conducting all there
operations through one of the giants such as Facebook Google or Microsoft as
a way to communicate between members, and show what they do to the world.
Freedombox does something similar, aimed at being hosted at a user's home,
and has a much greater privacy focus. Its user base tends to a higher degree
of technical competence.
Debian Edu has some similarities in terms of technology, and working with
teams engaged in similar activities, and with upstreams to make software
easier to deploy for less technically skilled users is key.
I am currently running, or helping to support, the IT for several smalli
organisations whose network activites are scattered across a range of
disparate solutions, which I intend to migrate once it comes out of alpha,
which is very much where it is now
Ideally it should be maintained by a team.
