¶* relearn roaming server - Anne, Manetta, Cristina, Peter & more
relearn is a series of events happening soon, continuing the series 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 roaming 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

¶* researching the contemporary use of irc - Maxigas
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

¶* Look at and understand 5G from (ch'ixi - 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
  * https://www.4g.de/news/t-mobile-5g-innsbruck-11221/ (German website)
  * T-Mobile's accompaning website (English) with further reading:  https://www.telekom.com/en/media/media-information/archive/t-mobile-austria-starts-5g-network-build-up-565348
-> check with Pieter :-)

¶* 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.

today: 
- different ways of defining the tools: perhaps by renaming 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 federated 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

Today
- maybe continue conversation on platform that can be base to FLOSS ressources

¶* Material perspective & More than just networks - David
Networks as not only cliques; participants as more than only liberal (individualist) subjects
Looking at the subject of networks from a materialist (resource-oriented = economics) perspective
(Network as economic playground)
And, praticipants being more than just undetermind "network nodes" - interested in "comrades"
Do networks share only affinities? Is this enough?
There is a manifesto ... link? --> https://totalism.org/postmarket
Interested in other views (ecological, subcultural ... ?) 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 - How to replicate this event?

> Wednesday
floating around....

Today
- 

¶* 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 (?)

today:
    visit some bars, former places
    replicate system (also in digital way, Jogi)

¶* 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)
hwhy 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

today:
    after lunch: gather people for 1,5h discussion

¶* 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?ssh 

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

today:
    - visit other projects
    - would like more input
    - interview with K (Wendy) , input questions! 
RFC1958 (1968) and 3935 have a mission statemente for The Internets!! (2004)

¶* 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

Today
Maybe

¶* 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

today
- do this? with Pieter
Wireless Belgium now

¶* Using Lasers to Communicate - Kurijn
not yet?

¶* Killing the internet - Benjamin
