Chapter 6: Infrastructure Colophon

Infrastructure Colophon

Our book is derived from the larger project ServPub which uses wiki-to-print, a collective publishing environment based on MediaWiki software, Paged Media CSS techniques and the JavaScript library Paged.js, and which renders a preview of the PDF in the browser [1]. It builds on the work of others and wouldn’t be possible without the help of Creative Crowds [2], who themselves acknowledge the longer history which includes: the Diversions publications by Constant and OSP[3]; the book Volumetric Regimes by Possible Bodies and Manetta Berends[4]; TITiPI's wiki-to-pdf environments developed by Martino Morandi[5]; Hackers and Designers' version wiki2print that was produced for the book Making Matters[6]. As such our work is a continuation of a network of instances and interconnected practices that are documented and shareable[7].

Similarly the server infrastructure includes VPN server and static IP which are provided by Systerserver, Free and Open source software Tinc [8], VPN Server provided by Systerserver, Raspberry Pi mobile servers set up by In-grid, Domain registration and DNS management via TuxIC [9] based in the Netherlands.

For our communication and working tools:

• Monthly group meeting and discussion: jitsi, hosted by Greenhost [10];
• Etherpads hosted by riseup [11] and Critical Technical Practice (CTP) server from Aarhus University [12];
• Mailiing list provided by Systerserver;
• Poll system for meeting times by anarchaserver [13] and Framasoft [14];
• Git repository by Systerserver

This infrastructure colophon is adapted from the publication entitled "Infrastructural Interactions: Survival, Resistance and Radical Care" (2022), edited by Helen V Pritchard, and Femke Snelting.
