This weekend partners of SudoRoom are holding the Exodus Tour at the OmniCommons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Exodus Tour is a series of Workshops on Digital Marronage<\/strong>. The workshops are free of charge. Digital marronage is about reclaiming our love and relationships by reviving protocols from ancestries for connecting with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not a coding Bootcamp. It’s a \ud83c\udf05 REVIVAL\ud83c\udf05.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Memory is the mode imagination here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marronage is\u00a0the historical practice of escaping enslavement to establish independent, autonomous communities or engage in ongoing resistance<\/mark><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udccdThe locations of the workshops will be divulged via private message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They’ll be in oakland <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf71There will be food\/light refreshments at each of the workshops. Please feel free to order your own food as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the first day, we will get to collectively make some exits!<\/strong> We\u2019ll download open source and privacy forward software onto our phones and computers, talk about what open-source means, and explore the meaning of protocols.<\/em> This is for you if your “de-Googling” list keeps growing and you’re overwhelmed with all the stuff you “need” to download. ~2 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the second day, we\u2019ll learn how to work with servers, Bash, and the principles of the decentralized web<\/strong> while reimagining relationships beyond extraction and accumulation. In small groups, participants will create collages for protocols from found futures, drawn from ancestral memory. Together, these collages will become a shared repository of \u201cfugitive protocols\u201d \u2014 alternative ways of building and being on the web. ~4 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n On day three, we’ll explore how the internet works.<\/strong> This three-hour workshop explores the physical components of connectivity and how the internet actually reaches us. Participants will trace a path from the undersea cables that carry global data to the local hardware that makes everyday connection possible, and then build a mini-version of the internet themselves. Drawing on familiar experiences\u2014like typing a web address into a browser or holding a phone by a window for better signal\u2014we\u2019ll translate intuitive knowledge into foundational skills for creating independent networks. Together, we\u2019ll experiment with building portable and mesh networks that place the power of connectivity in our own hands, rather than leaving it to the shifting preferences of an expanding technocracy. ~3 hours<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
