Noisebridge has possession of many, many computers from OSDN and other donors.  Talk to one of the people involved with the project to request access and/or volunteer for an ops shift or mentoring duty.
Noisebridge has possession of many, many computers from OSDN and other donors.  About the first third of the machines have been colocated in Redwood City.  Two cabinets of machines have been set up and are connected to the Internet.  Talk to one of the people involved with the project to request access and/or volunteer for an ops shift or mentoring duty.
 
== Cloud Control ==
 
There is a bot named <tt>noisecloud</tt> in the #noisebridge IRC channel which provides some limited control over the machines. 
 
Machines are shut down every day at 3 AM and wiped.  Machines can be told to stay up persistently, see the cloud controller code for details.
 
== Running Services on Pilot Machines ==
 
For cost reasons, powering on the spare machines at each hosting site isn't done except in the case where Noisecloud is the only option available for hosting your project.  However, some non-dedicated capacity is available for noncommercial projects.
 
Each colocation site has one low power pilot machine which stays on 24x7 to provide local control over the other machines.  Although access to the pilot machine itself is restricted, most sites can run containers or virtual machines on their pilot machines.  To have a container or virtual machine started for you, send an SSH public key to [[User:Dr_jesus|Dr. Jesus]] and a brief description of what your needs are.  Only noncommercial uses of Noisecloud are permitted.

Server pickup day!
Please come help us pick up the servers and move them to their new home.  We need help Tuesday December 15, 2009 at 10am in Fremont CA.  The servers are really heavy and will take a lot of lifting to get the job done.  Contact SuperQ on IRC.
