We have a headquarter and it is soon to become a small datacenter!

15 July 2024

On April 11th, 2024, we signed the purchase agreement for a small basement at Via Crevacuore 35, Turin, Italy, and have moved our legal address there. We chose this location mainly due to its connectivity options (OpenFiber, FiberCop, soon Digi), the small number of living units (only 4) in the building, and the low cost of the whole operation (about 3700 EUR for real estate value, plus 1500 EUR for legal costs).

Having a physical dedicated space offers a great opportunity for the organization’s operations, allowing us to:

• Better isolate the organization’s activities, including legally, from both the members and the board of directors
• Host dedicated infrastructure under our full control, with the option of video surveillance
• Research and host experimental and eventually better infrastructure compared to the classic co-location options

The great advantage of being connected to OpenFiber and FiberCop is their business model: they offer their infrastructure to third-party providers without the necessity of being committed to a specific one. In case of legal problems, transitioning to a different provider can be simple, and we could eventually reach a point to manage even part of the upper infrastructure ourselves.

We will soon have many updates on this development, so stay tuned!
