San Francisco Community Colocation Project is a non-profit that provides a community-based, low-cost colocation facility with optional support and services. We lease full and half rack blocks and pass the costs directly to our members, who pay for single unit spaces at full rack rates. The colocation facility provides UPS protected power as well as network access controls. SFCCP policies protect members' privacy rights. SFCCP supports world-wide non-profit and community-oriented enterprises.

SFCCP Community

The San Francisco Community Colo sysadmins team is a  self-managing, all volunteer group of system administrators who are responsible for support & network maintenance.

If you're interested in participating in the community, here is a quick guide to getting involved:Rudy at old colo

  1. Sign up for the community mailing list.
  2. Send an email presenting yourself and if you are in the Bay Area ask for the next meeting.
  3. If you see an open task that you think you could do, send an e-mail to the mailing list. Don't be shy! The group depends on people taking the initiative and just jumping into things.
  4. Hang out in the Irc Channel. This is a good way to talk with people doing SFCCP.

Community Colo's Network

SFCCP is one of many community colocation projects around the country and is part of a growing movement to provide affordable, untethered internet access to a wide variety of non-profit entities and individuals, social justice organizations, and Open Source projects. We are currently the only non-profit, community-based colo in California, as the original, California CCP, ceased operations in late January 2007.

Our values are rooted in the notion that information and technology infrastructure should be available to all without government or corporate interference. We are fervently free speech and believe that the free flow of information will only help our communities thrive.

We have sister projects in the following cities around North America: Seattle, Chicago, New York, DC, and Toronto (Canada)
