Hosting Scoop

Scoop is configured to run on FreeBSD and Linux on virtual servers. Our current hosting arrangements are due to expire in 2015. We are seeking a long-term reliable host providing either secure colocation capacity (6RU minimum), or access to multiple VMs on a reliable cloud computing platform. Scoop consumes a moderate level of bandwidth in the range of several terabytes a month and would need access to a minimum of 19mbs bandwidth. Scoop would acknowledge the provider of hosting services as a significant sponsor.

If you are interested in hosting Scoop please email : chrysalis@scoop.co.nz

Bringing new "social entrepreneurial" vision and energy to the Scoop project

Scoop is seeking proposals from individuals or groups of social entrepreneurs to take over Scoop as an entrepreneurial project. Proposals would need to address how they would continue to serve the Scoop Mission "to be an agent for positive change" whilst bringing new entrepreneurial energy and vision to the Scoop project.

If you are interested in being involved at the center of the Scoop evolution project as an entrepreneur please email : chrysalis@scoop.co.nz

Ethical Investment

Investment of an appropriate kind would enable Scoop to enhance its technical platform and invest in market development. We are interested in hearing from investors who see value in what we do and want to assist us to grow and make a return on the considerable amount already invested in Scoop over the past 15 years.
