Umbrella organization
An umbrella organization is an association of (often related, industry-specific) institutions, who work together formally to coordinate activities or pool resources. In business, political, or other environments, one group, the umbrella organization, provides resources and often an identity to the smaller organizations. Sometimes in this kind of arrangement, the umbrella organization is to some degree responsible for the groups under its care.[1]

gollark: Our idea was to run a bunch of CC computers headlessly and allow accessing them from ingame as well as the interweb. Basically "the cloud", but for CC. I have no idea what it could be used for but it would be cool.
gollark: It's probably possible to handle the xterm-or-whatever-it-actually-is escape sequences in CC well enough to render okay.
gollark: That's useful, thanks. There are probably ways to convert the VT100 sequences into other useful stuff.
gollark: <@205756960249741312> Does CraftOS-PC have anything like the CCEmuX feature where it can render to TRoR (the terminal redirection over rednet protocol)? Me and Rph had an idea which would need some way to run emulated CC computers headlessly and stream their output/input to/from elsewhere somehow.
gollark: A friend of mine was suspended for "hacking the CCTV system" or something. Apparently the control thing for them was accessible on the network and had the default password set.
