polarhome.com is non commercial, educative effort for popularization of operating systems and Internet services, offering shell accounts, development enviroments, mail, web and other Internet services on all available systems. It is impossible to operate such a huge site without support of the community.

If you:

  1. Like the concept of free communities
  2. Like what polarhome does and provides
  3. Think that aix, vax, alpha... servers are too slow
  4. Want to see your favorite operating system online used by other developers
Please, contribute...

How can you contribute?


There are six main ways to help polarhome.com prosper and contribute with the daily operation:
  1. donate hardware/software
  2. your server - part of the polarhome realm
  3. donate money for server upgrades
  4. be a moderator, administrator
  5. read advertisments
  6. advertise on polarhome.com
please, send your question, suggestion etc. to sponsor@polarhome.com

1. Donate hardware/software

If you have some hardware or licenced software that you are not using and/or you think that it might be useful for the community, or you can not wait until polarhome manage one OS that you want to see in free shell environment... and you're fully agree that your hardware/software will be used as currently Redhat Linux, OpenVMS and FreeBSD etc in polarhome realm by the community.
Then please, send your hardware/software (it can be even preinstalled) to address below:

polarhome.com
c/o Zoltan Arpadffy
Edbovägen 47
14263 Stockholm
Sweden

You, personally, can get some benefits/rights on the system if needed.
polarhome develops as it can appreciate to buy the hardware and/or software, but sometimes there is urgent need for something. Here you can find polarhome.com's "wish list".

2. Your server - part of the polarhome realm

There is one easier way to help.
You already have a server, desired by the community that is online... and you fully agree with the concept of  polarhome community... and you're prepared to open your server for free shell operation (educational, demo but sometimes even commercial purpose too)... then:
You can apply for sub domain or hostname under polarhome.com as for ex.,if you're running one QNX host for hostname qnx.polarhome.com.
Please, send your application to: sponsor@polarhome.com

3. Donate money for server upgrades

You can send any amount that you can appreciate.
Donation are listed on this page with amount.
polarhome.com will remain non commercial site as long is in my hands, and every penny will be spent on system upgrade, paying the electicity bill and network connection.

4. Be a moderator, administrator

It is extremely hard to manage and coordinate distributed network with lots of different operating systems that are open as possible and to be safe in the same time... therefore we need experienced administrators, mailing list, IRC and forum moderators to help inexperienced audience to start with some new operative system... first steps, suggestions etc.
Administrators have to be aware that it is not a commercial task as the whole system and community.

5. Read advertisments

It does help a lot when you see some interesting topic in advertisment, like below, to click the link and check the offer. These advertisments are content sensitive and usually propagate competitor's products/services that are related to product described at the current page. polarhome.com is a non commercial effort therefore we do not have competitors, nor any significan income except these advertisment. They might help you in decision and also, every click means few cents more that go into polarhome upgrade budget.

2. You might choose general targeted google ads that will appear on polarhome and OTHER similar sites.
