varia experiments with tools for building physical and digital infrastructures of affinity.
A conscious decision has been taken to be considerate about the channels that we use to communicate through: what kind of new interactions are made possible through the protocolary other? Its members use federated networks like XMPP group chats, Mastodon instances, RSS feeds or the unflinching mailing list. Fragmented spaces of sociality that self-determine how they connect to one another.
We look for ways to stay connected by offering a locally-accessible [library](https://books.vvvvvvaria.org/)(accessible without login in Varia itself), etherpads, calendar and [git repositories](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/). Similarly, we are working on developing a depot for electronic parts and workbenches, as well as printing facilities.
