About us

We are Modeemi IT club operating at Tampere University, Hervanta Campus. Established in 1977 year, club has long tradition of spreading and preserving the knowledge about the Unix, Linux, Servers, computer networking and computers in general! We like to give the proper opinions on technical topics.

• Being a part of the legendary IT student community that exists for almost 50 years, and provides a possibilities to develop technical skills, friendly clubroom space and sense of belonging to it’s members.
• User account, with unique username on our UNIX/Linux systems (which exists already for more than 25 years).
• An email address in username@modeemi.fi format (upon request also in name.surname.xyz@modeemi.fi). You can use Thunderbird or other mail clients of Your choice. Modeemi started providing mailboxes to it's members years before the Gmail even existed, and all the mailboxes belonging to current members that were created back then still exist!
• Few stable shell machines You can login to and use as our member (for example for coding / compiling / chatting on IRC).
• Storage for home directory, /home/your-username (quasi-unlimited space, but subject to common-sense), available on the shell machines.
• Access to the clubroom (please be advised, that in the clubroom at Tampere University additional rules have to be followed)
• Possibility to propose / lead / participate in / maintain on-premise-hosted IT projects that help student community of Tampere University (one notable example is doors.modeemi.fi).
