Context

Experimentation with collaborative writing and self-publishing using open-source tools are common in free software circles, but what about within activist groups who want to share resources without the necessary specialist technical knowledge required to administrate them? What are the tools we use on a daily basis, and how does their use affect us in both our private and public lives?

We aimed to work towards making a "resonant publication", one which is made collaboratively in a do-it-with-others mode where everyone was involved in both making the editorial content and structure, as well as realising the design through use of a collaborative, experimental writing tool, Varia's Octomode.

Guest

Our guest for this workshop was David Benqué, a researcher and current design lead for CryptPad, a fully encrypted and open-source collaboration suite of software, which can be self-hosted or used at the public instance https://cryptpad.fr.
