<strong>
<u>8th of May</u>
</strong>
<br>
<br>
<strong>* Varia organisational updates</strong>
<br>- We're working on an application for the Professionaliserings subsidy of the Stimuleringsfonds <a href="https://stimuleringsfonds.nl/nl/actueel/nieuws/open_oproep_professionalisering_platforms_3/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://stimuleringsfonds.nl/nl/actueel/nieuws/open_oproep_professionalisering_platforms_3/</a> (Max. €7500 for 4 months outlined professionalisation trajectory, deadline 15th of May).<br>
<ul class="indent">
<li>- Roel got a PhD position in Malmø, and will move to Sweden in August/September</li>
<li>  - therefore, provoking the moment to rethink/open up what is Varia</li>
<li>- code of conduct for Varia</li>
<li>- "mission statement", statutes, bi-laws, etc. with member participation</li>
<li>- bi-laws/statuten as a tool to reconsider the member status</li>
<li>- Niek, Manetta and Roel are working on the proposal + a first draft of these documents, which will then be openend up for all members to discuss; in the yearly member meeting we can elect a new board (chairperson, secretary, treasurer "Mistress Of Coin", who are registered as that in the KVK)</li>
<li>- part of the grant is to have 2 external advisors (administration advice person (force finance)? someone who can advise on bi-laws? and code of conduct (realitygaps, ginger coons)?)</li>
<li>- 6th of June we know if we are awarded the grant. But also, we need/want to do these things ...</li>
</ul>- proposal for a new about text <a href="https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/wg.website" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/wg.website</a> (can we take 15 minutes to go over the text and publish it? <br>
<ul class="indent">
<li>&gt; suggestion to schedule a meeting for this, Cristina will send a mail)</li>
<li>  &gt; luke brain: chance for ep_comments to get feedback on new about !?<ul class="indent">
<li>&gt; roel brain: edit inline :o</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
<strong>* Digital Autonomy continued</strong>
<br>- Elephant response letter<br>  - how to pursue with the work engaged concretely? (a lot of people were interested in "varia's expertise" and would like to join efforts without being very tech savvy)<br>  - has Constant replied to the email that was sent to them after the workshop? Not by email, but a big thanks was expressed f2f<br>  - next meetings <br>
<ul class="indent">
<li>- for writing an invitation to other self organised spaces: May 3rd</li>
<li>- continue writing the response letter with invited self-organisers: Monday 27th of May + Tuesday 4th of June (both between 19:00 - 22:00) </li>
<li>  we use this pad to organise this &gt; <a href="https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/elephant-response" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/elephant-response</a>
</li>
<li>&gt; hard to meet before perhaps, but it would be good to re-strategise this letter writing initiative.</li>
<li>&gt; maybe in-between we can chat on xmpp?</li>
</ul>
<br>- ODD update<br>  - 15-20 July Roel, Julie, Manetta, Silvio, Cristina travel to Bucharest to meet ODD and work together on diggggitaaaaalllll autoooonoooomyyyy<br>
<br>- Relearn<br>
<ul class="indent">
<li>- public evening event on the Friday, 7th of June (Femke, Jara and Aymeric are each at one table; Varia could have a table as well;  prepare some questions on the topic of DA! another table will be on publishing)<ul class="indent">

<ul class="indent">
<li>(a temperature test)</li>
</ul>  - <a href="https://talk.libreho.st/t/cpp-commitments-policies-and-processes/158" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://talk.libreho.st/t/cpp-commitments-policies-and-processes/158</a>
<br>  - <a href="https://talk.libreho.st/t/code-of-conduct/162" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://talk.libreho.st/t/code-of-conduct/162</a>
<br>  - Concerns:<br>    - What is the scope of Librehosters?<br>    - Varia hosts for members and not general public?<br>  - How to join Librehosters, not as a hosting company? <br>  - Besides getting a vote, opportunity to shape future developments, research and connect with themes of digital autonomy (elephant letter, etc) while being part of a wider support community (different skills)<br>  - list of not specifically hosting members: <a href="https://www.autistici.org/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.autistici.org/</a>, <a href="https://ps.lesoiseaux.io/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://ps.lesoiseaux.io/</a>, <a href="https://hackerspaces.be/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://hackerspaces.be/</a>, <a href="https://www.privacytools.io/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.privacytools.io/</a>, <br>  - Who are the other not hosting companies (interesting angles from different groups)<br>  - Luke brain: make a thread on talk.libreho.st to ask the questions and stuff<br>
<ul class="indent">

<br>
<strong>* Curriculum </strong>
<br>- is there a curriculum happening in May?<br>  - It has  not been picked up since last meeting ...<br>  - Siiiilllllvvvviiiiooooooooooooooooooooo (do you know you are part of the organisation group? no!)<br>  - the only concrete proposal curriculum related is coming from Simon (wdKA) for next school year<br>&gt; what do we do with the (non-wdka) curriculum? <br>&gt; who wants to take this on?<br>&gt; do we at the park over in the curriculum about to the long of the term timeline? <br>! we promised 2 curriculum workshops as part of the NOOO2, to cofinance the project.<br>! so 2 curriculum workshops will happen.<br>&gt; Data Recovery Workshop / Thomas / Dennis can help<br>
<br>* NOOO2 quick in between<br>- we delay the project timeline with a month!<br>- project period: May - August<br>- june: each of the teams does the documentation work. End of June: main implementation of the work is done. Also this month: the workshops!!!<br>

<ul class="indent">
<li>- the groups could already start individually</li>
</ul>- ANN: StimFonds grant acceptance for Floppy Totaal proposal (wahheeyyy)<br>- ANN: the etherdump is install on the varia server: <a href="https://etherdump.vvvvvvaria.org/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://etherdump.vvvvvvaria.org/</a> changes can be made through the git: <a href="https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/etherdump" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/etherdump</a> (there is a git-hook active, so all the changes will be auto-updated on the server)<br>- ANN: We started to experiment with logging in XMPP groupchats: <a href="https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://vvvvvvaria.org/logs/</a> using a logbot: <a href="https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/logbot" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/logbot</a>
<br>- ANN: Varia (Manetta) will be part of the XPUB audit as "organisation from the professional field", 15 May<br>- ANN: If somebody wants to design a flag (just in case) (on top of our buidling), we can contact Kamiel Verschuren. There is a budget of €200 fee + €200 flag production costs/flag. &lt; <s>pirate</s> 'artistic' radio/tv station hidden in flag<br>Yoana: is there a deadline for it an what is it? I talked about making a flag with Angeliki long ago, perhaps we could pick it up. Shall I just ask Kamiel?<br>- Q: Varia and the rent thing and August and the future (is this too intense!?)<br>- ANN: there's a TO DO pad!! <a href="https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/todo" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/todo</a>
<br>
<br>
<strong>* Varia publications after Open Day + Tech Zine Fair, cash moment ;)</strong>
<br>
<br>
<strong>* Upgrade</strong>
<br>- New beamer (Yes) -- Danny is on the job<br>- A faster and bigger water boiler - kettle? (Yes) -- Roel is on the job<br>- fridge for drinks (zwarte vos has one for 35 eur)<br>
<br>
<strong>* Varia server backup issue</strong>
<br>- It's done! No issue :)<br>- <a href="https://vvvvvvaria.org/manual/index_files/server.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://vvvvvvaria.org/manual/index_files/server.html</a> (See "Making Backups" and friends)<br>- <a href="https://vvvvvvaria.org/~luke/backuplogs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://vvvvvvaria.org/~luke/backuplogs/</a>
<br>- it runs every night at 3am (4 min) and 4am (30 min), during a backup the server is down<br>- luke brain: to write manual entry with this info<br>
<br>
<strong>* Possible sandbox server &amp; sudo rights</strong>
<br>
<ul class="indent">
<li>- sudo rights (relates to feminist server notes below)<ul class="indent">
<li>-- putting a monitor on the server to avoid bitcoinminers,ransomware,etc</li>
<li>-- introducing people to the </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>- would be good to have another server where we can install things freely; one that does not interfere with the Varia main server. nonetheless with some things, sudo access is still necessary:</li>
<li>    -- it can be hard to do work on the library without having rights on the server (we need the presence of Luke, otherwise we cannot restart the server)</li>
<li>    -- or to work on the Varia archive without a sudoer with us</li>
<li>- can Varia commit/does Varia want to commit to a feminist server? what does this mean? what do we want to do?</li>
</ul>
<br>
<ul class="indent">
<li>- it would be good to mention the fragility of our infrastructure, when people start to use it. For example, we can add a message in the Etherpad. -&gt; <a href="https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/variapad_introtext" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/variapad_introtext</a> Working on the expectations that we shape.</li>
<li>- we could write a mentioning/statement of our intention to relate to serving and hosting from a feminist perspective</li>
<li></li>
<li>- we probably will need a private etherpad, all these pads are basically on the street when someone knows the url</li>
<li>- 2 wifi networks, one public one that can be shared with everyone (Kamiel also has lightboxes for us ;) we could make a WIFI sign lightbox! one for each side)</li>
<li></li>
<li>- let's share telephone numbers and home addresses as backup networks</li>
<li></li>
<li>
<strong>A Feminist server…..</strong>
</li>
<li> Is a situated technology.</li>
<li> It is run for and by a community that cares enough for her/they to exist.</li>
<li> It builds on the materiality of software, hardware and the bodies gathered around it.</li>
<li> It opens herself/themselves to expose processes, tools, sources, habits, patterns.</li>
<li> It knows that networking is actually an awkward, promiscuous and parasitic practice.</li>
<li> It is autonomous in the sense that she/they decide for her/they own dependencies.</li>
<li> It treats technology as part of a social reality, and finally</li>
<li> It takes the risk of exposing her/they insecurity while trying hard not to apologies when she/they sometimes is/are not available.</li>
</ul>
<br>  - Proposal to formally agree this to feminist server practice as Varia<br>\o/<br>
<br>  - lbrain:<br>    - basic user management docs in manual (hwo to add, query, add sudo, etc.)<br>    - add some monitoring to check if the server has a master of coin on it<br>    - hand out some sudo access!<br>

</ul>

<br>- we could make a members.vvvvvvaria.org subdomain to bring the manual, private etherpad and possible other things together<br>- we need a new password for the manual ;)<br>- robots.txt file<br>
