 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. It builds on the work of others and would not have been possible without the help of Creative Crowds, who themselves acknowledge the longer history, which includes: the Diversions publications by Constant and OSP; the book Volumetric Regimes by Possible Bodies and Manetta Berends; TITiPI's wiki-to-pdf environments developed by Martino Morandi; and Hackers and Designers' version of wiki2print that was produced for the book Making Matters. As such, our work is a continuation of a network of instances and interconnected practices that are documented and shareable.

Similarly, the server infrastructure includes: the free and open-source software Tinc, VPN server and static IP provided by Systerserver, Raspberry Pi mobile servers set up by In-grid, and domain registration and DNS management via the Netherlands-based TuxIC.

In addition to using a version of Creative Crowds' wiki-to-print (wiki4print), for the design process we also followed FLOSS design principles and workflows, including choice of fonts, and design values, ethics and considerations, licensing, questions of openness, federation, and other ways of organising.

The book is designed by

• Johanna de Verdier (from In-Grid)
• Mara Karagianni (Systerserver) - hand-drawn cover's illustration
• Artemis Gryllaki (Systerserver) - the cover design

We used:

• Excalidraw for moodboards/brainstorming
• Inkscape for the layout of the cover
• ReMarkable tablet for the cover illustration
• Open-source fonts from places like: BADASS LIBRE FONTS BY WOMXN, Open Foundry, Velvetyne, The League Of Moveable Type.
• Cover and content fonts Space Notorious Rounded, Space Grotesk, and OfficeCodePro Regular

• All fonts used in this book are under the SIL Open Font License

For our communication and working tools we've used:

• monthly group meeting and discussion: jitsi, hosted by Greenhost;
• Etherpads hosted by Riseup and the Critical Technical Practice (CTP) server at Aarhus University;
• mailing list provided by Systerserver;
• poll system for meeting times by AnarchaServer and Framasoft;
• 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.
