Project DoD is a nonprofit collective organized to research and develop
tools, technologies, and infrastructure that promote community,
solidarity, and autonomy. Our hopes are that through such research and
development these tools, technologies, and infrastructure, will encourage
and empower members of the general public to learn, participate, and
educate the world around them. Project DoD is not centrally owned and
does not consist of a select few coordinating members, rather anyone who
becomes a member and wishes to participate in the membership committee
will have equal say, and equal vote in the decisions that effect our
projects and goals. If you simply wish to suggest a project for DoD,
then you should join the collective mailing list on the about page and
post your proposal there. Project DoD started as a hosting collective
for the underground music scene providing a digital outlet for a variety
of artists. We would like to thank the underground community for their
support and help in shaping Project DoD into what we are today.

The hosting project is a member supported nonprofit collective intent
upon helping the public gain access to tools that are needed for the
dissemination of information. Project DoD is intent upon offering much
of the alienated public an alternative option to corporate hosting and
its shortfalls. While the Internet has allowed for a breakthrough
in the means for sharing and propagating information, the market-driven
hosting solution has proven that it's incapable of providing the
public reasonable access to such tools. As a result we find that one
of the only tools left with the capability of balancing democratic
participation in media has become inaccessible to the underprivileged
masses. That is, those of us incapable of affording corporate hosting
charges or defending our right to free-speech may find ourselves left
out of public discussion, action, and consciousness. Our hopes are that
we may remedy this problem through a more collectively run and managed
structure, which allows a community of users to pool resources and
organize access to the capabilities this digital medium offers. For
more information see our hosting
section. You can also check out our members list on the
right-hand side of this page.

The e-mail project is intended to get all of you off those
hotmail, AOL, and yahoo accounts and onto a real mail
account. You can check out the e-mail project by going
here. dod.net e-mail
accounts are free. But there is no automated way to put
your accounts on the server yet. So please have patience.
