= What? =

The Klankserver will provide digital infrastructure for members of the Klankschool by running services which complement the activities of the community. Public-facing components will contribute to knowledge and awareness of the Klankschool's activities while internal services should serve to thicken infra-community relations.

<span id="why"></span>
= Why? =

# To publicise and support sonic practices whilst developing inter-community relationships to gain insight into what free software does in social contexts.
# To advance my understanding of what sustainable, resilient and secure server maintenance consists of in a production environment whilst contributing to culture.
