Past Ten

Finally, DocIsland counts now 11 members with the addition of Gabriel Merlet (a.k.a. gab) who joined our small group about one week ago. It is always interesting to have fresh blood added to the team. Moreover, gab looks really like an interesting guy (Hey! He enjoys Jazz and Funk music among many other genres). We took some pictures (pretty bad quality though since they were taken with a phone builtin camera) during the dinner we had with gab.

If you are curious about how would one join DocIsland, the first thing you need to know about is What Is DocIsland? A new member needs necessarily to know one or more existing members, and know them pretty well. Then one of those DocIsland members will make arrangements to suggest the addition of that person to the team. Then we set up a meeting to see if we get along with that person. The meeting is informal of course. It is held around a dining table in one of the many excellent Paris restaurants we know of such as Galopins Nation. Then we vote. And that's it.

What the advantages of joining DocIsland you might ask besides sharing pretty regularly nice drinks and food and having lots of geeky fun? Well you get free access to the DocIsland infrastructure which offers mail, Web hosting, DNS hosting, shell accounts, storage space, backup and other nice services, all backed with a pretty nice bandwidth. Moreover, you can also take part in our internal discussions and idea sharing about differing miscellaneous subjects such as Music (you would expect that if you are following this blog), I.T. (with a focus on Computer Security and Open Source software).
