For those of you who keep a regular eye on my ramblings and mutterings, you may have noticed that since my presentation at the London VMUG a couple of weeks ago<\/a>, I have been very quiet on the blogging front! There is, in fact, a reason for this!\u2026<\/p>\n

The session itself was really interesting and loads of ideas and methods I had never even heard or thought of came out, exactly what I had hoped would be the outcome! Subsequently a number of people volunteered to help create a site for the rationalisation and curation of all of this awesome content and knowledge, which we have dubbed the Open Homelab Project.<\/p>\n

We are still in pre-alpha for the site itself, but here are a couple of screenshots of some of the content in production. Once it goes live it will be a full wiki site with the ability for any registered community member to edit, contribute to and create content! Once we have reached a reasonable quantity of initial content, then the site URL will actually be released!<\/p>\n

Right now we are keenly seeking a couple of things from community members who are interested in being involved:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start by following our @OpenHomelab<\/a> account on twitter for all the latest news and updates (as well as a few random tweets when I post using the wrong account -now I get how easy it is for corporate people to randomly tweet to the wrong pipe <\/a>by accident!)<\/li>\n
  2. If you would like to get involved early on and help contribute to the initial release of content, please hit me<\/a> up on twitter or DM the @OpenHomelab<\/a> account with your email address for a Slack invitation.<\/li>\n
  3. If you have any design talents, we are looking for a unique but simple logo for the site. The one we have at the moment is just a placeholder! We would ideally like a few entries from different people and the community can choose their favourite! Main requirements are that the logo:\n
