[liberationtech] Introducing Convoy

[Julian Oliver]

Dear Ameya,

I would be most glad to run a session in a UTC morning time, not only because I myself am UTC+12! 

There are a few that have asked for the same. If you are interested in this, please feel free to email off-list and we can work put together an Asia and Pacific cohort for training.

Some other courses in sovereign server infrastructure are here:

My sunny regards from Aotearoa New Zealand,

This is a zero-to-server fully-supported deployment walkthrough for complete newcomers to server system administration. The training outcome is not only a potent set of new skills, but a powerful, high-reputation, private and easy-to-administer mail server on the public internet complete with a mobile-friendly webmail interface and great interoperability with all the popular mail clients
