The systerserver is a Linux server run by women.

We got to a stage where we didn't want to rely on the (very supportive mind you) guys hosting our website and mailing lists. We wanted to Do It Ourselves.

So this is our own space to practice being systems administrators, where peers are present to answer questions and show by example.

The server looks like a 'pizza box' packed in a type of bookcase along with a whole lot of other similar servers. The server hotel, or hosting centre is in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

We meet on an IRC channel to talk shop. Then one by one take on a task that needs to be done or learnt. The women are from all over the world: St. John's, San Francisco, New York, Montevideo, Madrid, Amsterdam, and further.
