From dc at dcwalker.ca Mon Jun 24 19:37:53 2024 From: dc at dcwalker.ca (Dawn Walker) Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2024 10:37:53 -0700 Subject: [Battlemesh] Our Networks 2024: Does not (cloud) compute, July 27, Vancouver BC Message-ID: <3bbec6dc-b5dc-457f-9cd0-fa1f96734974@dcwalker.ca> Hi! Apologies for cross-posting but wanted to share detail about an upcoming event in Vancouver, Canada this summer -- *Our Networks 2024: Does not (cloud) compute* July 27, 2024 312 Main, Vancouver, BC Register: https://ournetworks.ca/#register .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~* What does collaboration and presence look like when a network is optional? What connections are possible when we leave our data at the door and spend a day on local networks? What new metaphors will help us create spaces for meaningful and different relations partially online? Last year provided an opening up a decade after platforms foreclosed on a sense of possibility of an earlier web. Turmoil on social media was the backdrop for creative experimentation with protocols and in networked spaces. Yet despite these new avenues , the myriad problems of being online haven’t been adequately addressed. The internet is dead, long live the internet. Before the previous web took shape and before an “always-on” and powered present, there were multiple ways to connect across boundaries and scales. Data moved by foot or mail across sneakernets, computing was time-shared so multiple users could access scarce resources, and ad hoc networks emerged from transitory LAN parties. Drawing on practices of local-first , solar-powered servers , folk software , and permacomputing , Our Networks 2024 explores transitional technologies and forms of computing that break from always-on connectivity. Over the course of the event, we will investigate histories, tools, and approaches like these that allow us to reframe what computing could mean when the internet, and the cloud, are optional. .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~* *Format* We are excited to announce the first presenters who will guide us through the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE during the event: - Lori Emerson will speak about other networks (https://othernetworks.net/) that exist outside of what is now called "the internet" - Joni Schinkel at Small File Media Festival (https://smallfile.ca), will workshop approaches to small footprint web art - Indie Research Brooklyn Zelenka will talk to us about the present state of local-first computing - Michelle Kaczmarek from the Share Reuse Repair Initiative will lead a conversation into computing repair culture - and more to be announced! In addition, attendees will be able to sign up to give lightening talks, lead conversations, or host impromptu jams in available open spaces.

The deadline is the 15th of July. (*) If any of you might go to HAMRADIO at Friedrichshafen this weekend, feel free to hop in the IARU-R1 "innovation" stand and have a talk. The team of spectrum24 will be there all weekend.
