Setting up an OKFN email address
Note: In order to be able to set up email addresses, your computer's SSH key must be added to the main machine to give you suitable permissions. If you don't have suitable permissions either:


 * Ask on sysadmin [at] okfn.org to be given them
 * Ask Lucy or Sam to set the email address up for you (they have the necessary permissions)

Then... once you have the permissions, you will be able to follow the instructions below!

Finding Technical Information about OKFN Servers
OKFN server info is documented here http://knowledgeforge.net/okfn/tasks/wiki

If a server goes down - who do I contact?
Generally speaking the best thing is to send an e-mail with all the needed details to sysadmin@okfn.org ‒ otherwise it's common to send e-mail to okfn-help@lists.okfn.org as a thumb rule.
