Stage 3 – resilient internet out-of-the-box (General talk)

PAF Petros At FreeLab Public Seen by 157

The services we (users) see and use are just a tip of an iceberg. If we want to have the full-blown system, possible to be run ndependently in some area of Rojava (or Europe), we need deep-dug fundaments. The last stage of the project will cover developing them. We shall test them, again using so-called “virtual private server” from the Icelandic host company.

After having the whole system tested and stable, we shall migrate all working services to the new VPS, abandoning (or keeping as backup) previous hosting.

MetaNet – Into the future

At the same time we shall develop a specification and prototype for a local hardware platform (server and communication equipment) for a village, city district or any other small community. The hardware platform will provide resilient power supply and connectivity (local and wide area network) and processing power (server) for all services. The whole unit will be able to work as an Internet provider and “campus network” node.

Once we have both components developed and tested, we will be able to start shipping them to Rojava and to all interestedc communities as well. Starting from Rojava regional infrastructure, we
will develop a “parallel internet”, connecting all nodes served by our package into a secure and resilient network, protected against surveillance and intrusion. There is a number of similar networks throughout the world and we shall be able to connect with them and grow the whole “Metanet” of resilient, independent communities.
