ServPub

The proposed book is an extension of the platform ServPub, a social and technical infrastructure for research and practice in experimental publishing. It is developed by a collective of scholars, artists, activists, designers, creative technologists, working together to develop a self-hosted and self-organised sustainable resource and workflow for book production that challenges normative open publishing paradigms. The resulting publication will be both a critical account of the process of production and at the same time detailed documentation that allows others/publishers to produce/fork their own versions.

See more info herefor the Launch of Experimental Book Publishing Pilot Project ‘Servpub – A Collective Infrastructure to Serve and Publish’

Servpub involves the following groups: Slade School of Fine Art, part of the University College London; CSNI, a research centre at London South Bank University; SHAPE, a research project at Aarhus University focussed on digital citizenship; Minor Compositions, a publisher of books and media drawing from autonomous politics, avant-garde aesthetics, and the revolutions of everyday life; In-grid, a London-based trans*feminist collective of artists/educators/technologists working in and around digital infrastructure; Syster Server, an international collective run by feminists that offers internet-based FOSS tools to its network of feminists, queers and trans; Creative Crowds, a shared server for FLOSS publishing experiments to explore how different ways of working are shaped by (and shape) different realities.

To get started

1. Make sure that you do not delete the line: <noinclude>[[Category:ServPub]]</noinclude>, as this will add your page to the Category:ServPub. It can be written anywhere on the page, the bottom is usually where most people put it.
2. For editing, please see the editing guide.
3. (NOTE: for discussion, are we using this feature?) For writing feedback/comments to each others contributions: go to the page of the contribution and click the double speech bubble on the top left corner (under the title, on the left side of the star). See the talk page section in the editing guide for more info.

Content Template

Make sure the title of your chapter is formatted as a Header 2 and authors in bold (use "edit source", not the visual editor). Example:

<div class="metadata">

See Example Page for template example.

NOTE: This template is still under construction, we will let you know when it's ready to implement on your own chapters.

Has you chapter disappeared? If you can see it here: Category:ServPub then give it a little while, it should show up in the list above. Be careful about the category tag being incorrect. When you edit source, it should look like this for the category tag to work correctly for automated layout:

<noinclude>
[[Category:ServPub]]
</noinclude>
