Blue Light is a City Service that provides Information Technology (IT) support to Auroville with a strong focus on Open Source solutions in the following fields:
Individual Ubuntu installations. We offer to install and maintain the Ubuntu operating system which is Linux based on your computer.
If you want a web page hosted or an on-line tool or need a server on the Internet Blue Light offers to help to set this up and maintain it for you. We have already some tools available. Check with us.
If you want to run an on-line survey Blue Light provides you with a survey tool, guides and supports you designing and evaluating the survey.
Programming software for your service/unit.
Blue Light offers Linux server installations. If you interested in centralising your data and secure your IT set-up a Linux server might help you.
Commercial Ubuntu (Linux) installations. If you plan to migrate all or part of your commercial office set-up to Ubuntu (Linux) we can help you with the migration and the support afterwards.
Some of these services are covered by the Unity Fund and so are “free” for Aurovilians, services or units and some of them are charged for.
