The TITiPI website https://titipi.org is currently hosted on Linode, an American hosting provider that focused on providing Linux-based virtual machines. The server we use, is based in the UK. Linode that was recently acquired by Akamai, another American company that specialises in edge computing (CDNN). Even if Linode was already identifying as "cloud hosting", we are now considering to migrate since Akamai is actively its server policies further into a cloud logic, which also has an impact on its pricing. The account is now registered to an individual account (not to titipi); this would be another reason to change. On the Linode server, we run pico, a flat cms and a mediawiki for notes. The wiki has an extension, wiki-to-pdf that we developed with Martino Morandi, itself based on work by Manetta Berends and OSP. Hackers and Designers in turn continued wiki-to-pdf here. Currently we are testing out the installation of an xmpp logbot, inspired by work done by Varia.
