We are currently seeking a service provider to maintain and service a digital infrastructure that was built and customized for Astraea’s activist gatherings. We currently run a series of services in a bare metal server hosted by Hetzner in Germany. Each individual
service is hosted in a separate virtual machine using kvm virtualization. These services form the online infrastructure that supports organizing gatherings on- and offline. This digital infrastructure was developed, deployed and maintained by an organization
which will no longer be performing these tasks.</div>
