[Sc] [Fwd: [lugmaster] supporting Free Software]

[Richard Smedley]

> On October 9th the UK Free Software Network - UKFSN.ORG - launched at
> Linux Expo.
> 
> UKFSN is an Internet Service Provider with a difference - all of the
> profits from the operation will be donated to fund Free Software projects
> in the UK.
> 
> Each month UKFSN will release a public statement clearly showing how much
> income was raised during the preceeding month and how much is cost to run
> the service. The surplus will then be paid to the Association for Free
> Software (http://www.affs.org.uk/) who have agreed to handle the
> distribution of the money raised.
> 
> The UK Free Software Network offers all the standard services one expects
> from an ISP including 0845 dialup access, email, web hosting and usenet.
> These standard offerings are beefed up with the inclusion of perl, PHP and
> python and MySQL support for the web hosting and extensive SPAM control
> measures in the email service.
> 
> The service is not just for geeks however. As well as subscription free
> Internet access and services UKFSN.ORG offers professional hosting options
> for businesses and domain registration services.
> 
> Business users will especially appreciate the WorldPay payment system perl
> module that has been written to support ecommerce transactions by UKFSN
> hosted sites.
> 
> UKFSN is being run by Jason Clifford, the person behind Definite Linux -
> the now defunct British Linux distribution.
> 
> The UKFSN website is http://www.ukfsn.org/
> info@ukfsn.org for more information.
> 
> The Association for Free Software is a membership organisation which
> promotes and defends Free Software in the UK and is an associate
> organisation of the Free Software Foundation Europe.
