Weaving the Web 6: Open Sourcerers

Stuck in digital spaces that keep getting worse?

Come hang out at beginner-friendly workshops for Trans and Gender Diverse Internet users that show how we build the Web together :)

Emotional support allies are welcome 💖

Each session explores a different aspect of the open web:

1. Avatar and identity (decentralised socials, data portability, deleting your deadname)

2. Machinima of the mind (open-source DnD software for solidarity, communication and collaboration)

3. Community connectivity (alternative networks, mesh, privacy and security)

4. Improvised infrastructure (GeoCities, webrings, RSS, email newsletters)

5. Creative autonomy and not-for-profit platforms (Ao3)

6. Open sourcerers (getting started with open-source software + is Linux difficult to use?)

James Bot is an artist and science educator from the science art collective Snart Club. He's researching community connectivity and whether the free Internet is more expensive for TGD communities.

Free snacks provided :)
