Antenna making, ready before 2pm! (when the ISS station is passing by )
Antenna building, radio setup, tuning at something Mhz, to pickup what the russian cosmonauts are gonna send over today.
Pictures send over as sound waves. Prepare the system to pick it up!

relearn roaming server
- Anne
, Manetta, Cristina, Peter
, Jogi
& more
relearn is a series of events happening soon, continuing the serie
s
of summer-schools conneting question of pedagocy technology and politics
http://relearn.be
the loose plan is to think how to make a server that can circulate through different events.
What does it mean to make a server roam?
Mapping roaming network typologies
Taking care of a server, done by a changing group of people
http://etherbox.local/pad/p/roamingserver
> Wednesday
A Synqi Server
Relearn, context of the roaming.
Different vocabulary:
from
r
oaming to sinking
/ syncing / thinking
"help port we are sinking" "what are you thinking about?"
works with the way relearn will go in and out of focus.
Practically: a server as a client and a server. Alternating roles. Taking the server out of its servicable role. Mirrors learning/teaching swapping in Relearn.
protocol: very permitted to dump stuff on other servers, which server most comfortable with which type of data
people who upload might be surprised afterwards, stuff might be migrated elsewhere
Different from
peer-to-peer networks? distribution of information, in-sync/out-sync gives again relation of dominance
Plans for today:
- what does 'synking' mean? be more specific
- mapping to what it means to 'synk'
- how rsync works in 5min? someone?
++
Topologies
- roaming server table
float into thinking about roaming networks
> Friday
will continue working on this at some point today (to be updated with the time)

researching the contemporary use of irc
- Maxigas
and Luke
http://etherbox.local/pad/p/irc
in the context of academic research looking at the Internet Relay Chat, a chat system used in specific communities of software-, politics- and knowledge- making:
qualitative approach: interviews with people here & online, their experiences
quantitative approach:
how many projects specify irc as their contact point (eg on github)
look at freenode server & how many projects there are - scraper
'counter the idea that it is dead'
1950-1970: Russia, alternative trajectory to the internet of today
> Wednesday
: quantitative approach
Maxigas has written in tech sovereignity book
look at projects on Github to scrape and undertsand how much projects using irc are still developed
project that is actively daily archiving github: direct access via mail
setting up a Virtual Machine to dump all github! to try and look at the irc density..
today:
- interviewing people, ex Chatbot Opera (Anne/An)
- will try to narrow down space/projects to look at, ex. if they only use 1% of irc, out
irc as the cockroach of protocols
> Friday
reached an agreeable moment, presentation on Saturday
* Look at and understand 5G from
(
ch
'
i
x
i
- mixings)
point of view
- table 2
what does it mean to look at this
impact of 5g in multispecies environments
& find a place in it
Reading, gathering information, academic research
Could use help and input from those with knowledge of 5G
* T-Mobile Austria has launched 5G in Innsbruck
* two base stations allow speeds of up to 2Gbit/s and latencies arround 3ms
* demonstration with VR-gogles and remote controlled drone
*

Networks and their concequences ... - Christina
Effects networks have on other networks
close to Ch'ixi
the way that the networks are 'measured' is through calculation atm
Notes:
http://etherbox.local/pad/p/chixi
>
Wednesday
discussion is still continuing..
alternative understanding of networks, looking at plants,
fungi, water,
animals, crystals. and the relations beween telepathy / extremophelia / electromagnetic spectrum
comparison to how 5G would work through these networks
ex trees are considered to be 'obstacles'
fungi etc are not metaphors
anymore
, are actually ways of networking.
> Friday
- different ways of defining the tools: perhaps by
re
naming them
- 5g as a case-study
>> any information on its deployment would still be useful.. references?
look into radiofrequencies (Roel), standardization process of 5G (Niels),
radio mycellium
society
(Benjamin)
- resonances between 5G and tools
- make a zine !? make a printer !

A f
ederated
research
network
- William - Kurijn
a network for open science
Access to academic research can be difficult for citizens
Using tools from digital humanities, to make real open science happen.
Discussion to (con)test this idea and think about what this can mean.
William is leaving tomorrow morning.
session today that will continue after William leaves
, widening the scope to "connecting people in a healthy way" (Kurijn)
Contact William, he can send more information by email
Wednesday
how connecting people on the internet around research
many examples where communication is blocked by big companies
> Friday
- continue conversation
on
a
platform that can be
the
base to
many possible applications that are in the need of healthy connections.
E.g.: (music/text/...) publishing, (real) sharing economy, social network alternative, all types of collaborations, lost&found reports, money exchange/lending, goods & services exchange, small producers<->clients,...
Important focus: minimising (the desire for) competition and serving real needs instead of obsessions and fantasies.
Possible tools: semantic web?

Looking at th

of networks
from a materialist
(resource

perspective
(
Network as economic playground
)
And, praticipants being m

Do networks share
only
affinities?
Is this enough?
There is a manifesto ...
link?
-->
https://totalism.org/postmarket
Interested in other views (ecological,
sub
cultural
... ?) to stretch these ideas.
Also : insofar as this edition, this "network" makes sense:
Analyze
the
material conditions that brought us together
.
If it is of any use -

Analog networking
-
Martin
snails, windmills, blackboards, semographs...
> Wednesday
collected wood to reconstruct blackboard of the shipping museum as networking device
ethnographic research in sailor bars of Antwerp :-)
speaking to sailors about the role of the pub
auction houses for shipping boots
databases exist from these blackboards
Archipel, Thursday/Friday evening (?)
> Friday
visit some bars, former places

Vocabulary Discussions
- Femke
work on ways to talk differently about alternatives for hegemony
how to talk differently about GAFAM outside of autonomy ?
test whether this is useful or not
http://etherbox.local/pad/p/interdependency
> Wednesday
Femke & Aileen, same background/books/language
David brought in different questions
reading articles, Cornelia Solfrank (what are we talking about)
h
why this is important/necessary
continued discussion with Oliver
collected links to reading, explain terms on the list, try to define problems related to the terms (as a cluster & individually): autonomy, dependency, freedom, sovereinity
way to nourish discussion around the book on techn sovereinity
> Friday
:
after lunch: gather people for 1,5h discussion
goal to make an addendum to the Sovereignty book
Interdependence Day on Saturday!

Why did we make this Internet? - Keith
Who is sustaining this Internet and why are people doing that?
gather opinions
gathering an
'
universal statement of purpose
'
;)
rfc!
how does addiction play into this conversation?
>
Wednesday
Different conversation. Might suffer from filter bubble too?
talk about market capitalism, technology in broader way than communication
what is useful to us?
decision to not bring computer till Thursday
if anyone wants to write down sthg, needs computer
> Friday
- visit other projects
- interview with K (Wendy) , input questions!
RFC
1958
96
and 3935 have a mission statemente for The Internets!!
1958 is about tech design principles. All is says about why is
"the goal is connectivity"
3935 is a mission statement for the IETF, but not theinternet.

Internet Genealogy by looking at other networks that disappeared
- Roel, Martino
Continuing earlier work on alternative European histories of the internet
Wednesday
it did not happen yet

Wireless Antwerp
- Pieter
look deeper into antennas
community wireless networks
could be related to the network topologies
look in detail at how we are connected to the internet
> Friday
- do this? with Pieter
Wireless Belgium now

Using Lasers to Communicate
- Kurijn
Idea: using lasers to communicate over medium-distances (~10s of kilometers)
Following a DIY approach, relatively easily implementable.
-cheap lasers and electronics
-first trying pulse-width modulation
e.g.
http://www.modulatedlight.org/optical_comms/using_laser_pointers.html
