Hello, world!

This is splice.org.uk, a very similar organisation to xen-hosting.org. It's run by a group of friends who rent a dedicated server from Bytemark and run Xen on it, with one virtual machine each. We also have a shared VM for running common services.

The current splicers are:

• David North, instigator and chief sysadmin
• Michael Howe, "backup admin", who's actually done rather a lot of typing and thinking
• Andrew Godwin
• Martin Smith
• Alex Dutton
• Luke Cartey
• Will Thompson

Due thanks must also go to Dominic and Spiny for supplying our Nagios monitoring.

We're hoping to write up a nice setup guide for the benefit of anyone else looking to set up a similar operation - it will appear here as and when we get time. Meanwhile, members can grab the root certificate for the splice.org.uk certificate authority and its PGP signature by David.
