What is Xtreamlab?
XtreamLab provides managed traditional and cloud Internet services running on purely Free/Libre
and Open Source Software (FLOSS) to a range of organisations in the UK with particular emphasis
on small to medium sized ethical businesses, community groups, co-operatives, and social
projects.
We don't have a social contract per se, but we'll host you if we like you, and we reserve the
right not to provide you with services if we don't feel we can, or we don't agree with what it
is that you do. No offence, it's just the way it is.
In a previous incarnation, XtreamLab focussed on providing Internet streaming services and
received funding from the (now defunct) South-West Regional Development Agency for two
ground-breaking events, VENN 2007 and D.R.O.I.D. Prior to this XtreamLab was also involved in
streaming for events in London, Bristol and Barcelona. This site is not directly linked to the
old versions of XtreamLab, but some of our experience is drawn from them; if you're looking for
streaming, we can still do it. Peruse the microsite for
D.R.O.I.D: Reality isn't everything.
