UPDATE: Thanks to @doriane we now have a section that quickly summarizes what is permacomputing and *also* a printable PDF zine of the score/guide. 🎉 🖨️ Do you want to start a permacomputing collective? :permacomputing: In the past months, and with support from @Error417 we have developed a small score/guide/recipe that can hopefully inspire you to get started with this topic. https://brewing.permacomputing.net The text of the guide was written by anna andrejew (https://annaandrejew.com), @praxeology and @latentspace based on interviews with @anmeisel (London Permacomputing Club), @archipielago (Middle America Archipiélago I community servers), @colm (Wilderland permacomputing group), @cmos4040 and @decentral1se (rotterdam.permacomputing.net), @praxeology (Berlin Permacomputing Meet Up), @michal (Node9), @sister0 (Autoluminescence Institute), @freebliss (permacomputing Vienna), and Steve McLaughlin (Philly permacomputing + solar punk meetups at @iffybooks hosted together with Dave Slinger). Copy editing and advice by @l03s and myself. Design for the dedicated website and PDF by @doriane with illustrations from @raquelmeyers #permacomputing #community #collective #organisation

PS: This year we will start implementing better infrastructural support for all the existing and new groups, and develop a governance model to help support it all through collective practices and mutual aid. If your email asking to contribute to the wiki or the web forum has not been replied yet, it's because we're completely redesigning our onboarding workflow, we will get back to everyone eventually :) Meanwhile, go check the other 12 scores from "13 Scores Against Tech Fascism" collected and supported by @Error417 https://error417.expectation.fail/13scoresagainsttechfascism

@320x200 Could you please ELI5 for me what a "permacomputing collective" is? This brewing metaphor is cool but a bit too abstract for me to imagine what is happening in such a group.

@320x200 You mention a PDF in the colophon; is this available to download somewhere? I'd love to print out some flyers/zines and leave them in my local anarchist spaces.

@320x200 The colophon mentions a PDF version of the website, but I can't find a link to it. Has it been made yet?
