Escuela Común relies on Coopcloud tools for its digital gardens track. On this workshop, we'll go through the tools and decide together what services we can host on the local network during camp. These could be shared storage for campers' media, a local fediverse instance, a video streaming platform, or a board for grassroots organizing.
After having talked a lot about Escuela Común on a previous session, it'd be great to have a hands-on workshop where we'll get together to have a summarised demostration of its training program.
The workshop is aimed at community activists and folks that are interested in self-hosting, but find it too technical or intimidating, or too time-intensive to become involved in.
We'll talk a bit about sysadmin work, "digital gardening" as a collective responsibility, to decide what kind of services we'd like to host during camp and afterwards. I'll bring at least one small computer to act as a server, which we'll collectively tend to.
My work and activism is focused on investigating, adapting and implementing ecological and resilient technologies, specially autonomous, collectivelly managed infrastructure.
In the last seven years I've been working almost exclusively on resilient web sites using Jekyll and developing a platform for updating and hosting them called Sutty. In 2024, I also became an organizer and facilitator at Escuela Común and developer and sysadmin at Red Abya Yala.
