Proposal/Testlink

Revision as of 08:31, 13 January 2014

Pre-application assistance

You, the prospective server administrator (admin), are encouraged to approach the DareNET Infrastructure team. They're able to assist you with many aspects of your application, from setting up and securing the server, to application drafting assistance, to assisting with routing and firewall issues. This is not obligatory, as you may send your application directly to infrastructure@; however, the server will pass through a testlink evaluation and there may be a delay if the server does not meet the standard required by DareNET.

Application submission

At this stage, your server should be in a state where it's ready for an immediate link to the IRC network once the ircd has been installed.

This is the first official step in linking a server to DareNET. The process from hereonin is controlled by the Infrastructure team. All inquiries should be addressed in the first instance to infrastructure@. This is also the address to send your completed application request.

Applications are judged, to a large extent, on their content and professionalism, so you're encouraged to take time to fill it out to the best of your ability. You should be truthful and accurate in your responses. Your application will be scrutinised and if found to be intentionally false, you'll be barred from being involved in this network in any official capacity.
