iThe Circumlunar Universe is a confederation of independently		null.host	1

ioffering a place for creative, social and technical undertakings on		null.host	1

idigital communities built on traditional text-based technologies.		null.host	1

iCircumlunar colonies represent stable, long-term projects intended to		null.host	1
iattract significant userbases.  Colonies offer unix shell access, and		null.host	1
iare a place to call $HOME.  Users on one colony can interact with		null.host	1
iusers on any other colony by exchanging email, chatting via a common		null.host	1
iIRC network, or posting messages on a bulletin board whose contents		null.host	1
iare mirrored across all colonies.  You are in some ways "closer" to		null.host	1
ithe users on your own colony, but for the most part you are joining		null.host	1
ithe same community no matter which colony you join.  If it helps, you		null.host	1
ican think of them like the pubnix equivalent of Mastodon instances.		null.host	1

iCircumlunar outposts are experimental projects run by individual		null.host	1
imembers of colonies.  They offer fewer services than colonies, and		null.host	1
igenerally do not come with the same expectations of long term		null.host	1
iavailability, regular maintenance or transparent administration.  An		null.host	1
ioutpost might literally be a RaspberryPi in somebody's basement.  It		null.host	1
imight disappear next month, or it might run smoothly for years.		null.host	1
iOutposts are a way for colony members to practice system		null.host	1
iadministration, experiment with interesting ideas, and provide		null.host	1
iadditional services to their fellow sundogs.  If you are a colony		null.host	1
imember with an idea for an outpost, please contact solderpunk.		null.host	1
