## TL; DR
|
||||
|
||||
For once there is no TL;DR, but we wish you a happy reading.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is ungleich?
|
||||
|
||||
A question that I am asked at every conference is, "what is ungleich"?
|
||||
Literally translated to English it means "not equal" or
|
||||
"different". And that describes our approach to things pretty well.
|
||||
|
||||
Because ungleich is not one company. Matter of fact, ungleich is at
|
||||
least two companies: Originally ungleich was incorporated in 2013 as
|
||||
ungleich GmbH (llc). In 2017 we decided to found ungleich glarus ltd,
|
||||
to make it easier for investors to join our efforts to build a
|
||||
sustainable data center in the middle of the Swiss mountains.
|
||||
|
||||
But even that does not describe ungleich very well. Because ungleich
|
||||
is actually a movement.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sustainability and IPv6
|
||||
|
||||
We are basically doing two things at ungleich: we foster
|
||||
sustainability. And we foster sustainability. To be more precise, we
|
||||
are deeply engaded into environmental and technical
|
||||
sustainability. And none of this would be possible without the
|
||||
community that is surrounding us.
|
||||
|
||||
## TDD is the past - CDD is now
|
||||
|
||||
Some years ago in the software development world "TDD" (test driven
|
||||
development/design) was a big hype and shifted the mindset towards
|
||||
verified software. Proof ("test") that your software does, what you
|
||||
intent it to do.
|
||||
|
||||
At ungleich we use this approach to some degree. However much more in
|
||||
the focus is CDD - community driven development. Let me elaborate a
|
||||
bit, because this is one of the most important things, if not the most
|
||||
important part of being at ungleich.
|
||||
|
||||
## Living and working in the Swiss mountains
|
||||
|
||||
ungleich is not by accident based
|
||||
[in the middle of the Swiss
|
||||
mountains](https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/46.92599/8.99964&layers=N). No,
|
||||
our home, leisure and work place is in the middle of the Digital
|
||||
Glarus valley. Why? Glarus used to be a place of textile
|
||||
companies. Nowadays, these companies have moved on to other place. So
|
||||
what is still here? An excellent view
|
||||
([checkout the pictures on
|
||||
twitter](https://twitter.com/DigitalGlarus), many nice places and
|
||||
great Internet connectivity. When we incorporated the ungleich glarus
|
||||
ltd., to build a place for people like us, who like to work in the
|
||||
nature, but also need a proper technical environment. We started in
|
||||
2017 in one location and in 2020 we are present in four location
|
||||
(Schwanden, Linthal, Luchsingen, Diesbach). Together with other other
|
||||
people and companies who have become close friends over the
|
||||
years. Together with people who did not ever hear about Glarus before
|
||||
meeting us. Together, we are building a new home for those loving
|
||||
nature and wanting to work in a great environment.
