Ecobytes is a community-supported IT collective. Our aim is, by increasing the number of members and supporters, as well as by joining efforts with other independent IT collectives, to support the expansion of secure infrastructure and services to our communities.
By becoming a member of Ecobytes, you become effectively "owner" of the collective infrastructure that holds your data. This means: shared risks, transparency and collective decision making. But also, no standard service-level agreement or quality of service*, just your trust on the collective of system keepers and the community processes at large.
The products below are an attempt to provide standardised and clear package offers, a need many of us in the community, both end-users and developers. You are welcome to comment or help to improve this document and the standard offers Ecobytes provides.
