Community compute. Useful heat. Local ownership.
A business plan by Luke Nathan Hayes for joint development with Megan and Brad: a national installation business within a federation of people and corporate vehicles.
Open the website · Presentation view · PDF plan · Editable Word plan
The starting basis is a future population of 30 million and one single-rack node per 10,000 people: 3,000 nodes. All postcodes enter outreach together; installations progress through participating people, facilities, workloads and finance. The programme combines UPS, useful heat, 360/XR installation learning, co-operative ownership, finite investor returns and hardware renewal.
Brad builds the core delivery team through his data-centre industry experience and contacts. Megan develops institutional relationships and commercial arrangements. Luke carries the integrated architecture, applications, federation and progression plans.

Edit content/plan.md for the shared manuscript. Current human direction takes precedence over conflicting archive wording. The original uploads remain unchanged. The financial allowance is a planning scenario, not a supplier quote. No applications, funding awards or institutional endorsements are invented.
Python 3.12 or later, python-docx, PyMuPDF, Pillow and LibreOffice Writer are used for the publication build.
python -m pip install python-docx PyMuPDF Pillow
python scripts/prepare.py
python scripts/build.py --pdf --check
python scripts/finalise.py
python -m http.server 8765prepare.py uses the connected public source page to complete missing artwork. The build itself uses the local manuscript, original documents and images. The publisher workflow creates the site and downloadable editions, checks local links and original-file hashes, and publishes through GitHub Pages. Browser checks cover mobile and desktop layouts and the interactive controls.
The full plan, source library, work briefs and source registries remain in this repository. Images have no text overlays or imposed cropping. All interface text uses a single system-font stack with an 18px base. No font files, accounts, trackers or submission backend are bundled.
