-$collective Hosting Letter

---------------------------

-

-$collective is part of an intersection of various groups that discuss politics and

-technology in different ways. We work with internet servers turned to various

-cooperative goals. Then, our ideia is to colaborate with groups/projects that

-are part of mutual and multiple aid and support.

-

-$collective is an autonomous project kept by a collective of volunteers. One of our

-main goals is the collective creation of public spaces, common areas with projects and

-groups that intend to enforce and straighten coexistence.

-

-Our intention is not just offer a "hosting service" and then we're not available

-for groups that just want such thing. We want that groups we host colaborate with

-the construction of a neighborhood, a rhizome, meaning that technology doesn't have to be

-a barrier, but exactly the opposite. As technology is also a social construction,

-its purposes, its configurations and the processes it interferes with can't

-impose themselves independently of the choices made by the social groups where it's used.

-

-The internet is not only an environment of cooperation, but also of apropriation and

-exploitation of common goods. We understand that it just turns essentially into a

-public space when people can control their production and access means, things that

-don't happen on corporate and governmental spaces. Because of this we try to

-create public spaces, non-corporative and non-governmental and we hope that

-groups we host colaborate to the construction of such spaces.

-

-During the construction of these kind of spaces, we make discussions where we try to

-discover themes such as culture, society, technology, activism, social change

-and many others. Such a research, when possible, is shared pubicly.

-

-We research the political implications of technology and develop systems and

-instruments using different political values. We also keep a political dialogue

-in the logics of theory/practice.

-

-So, one of our proposals is to collectivelly establish a network of mutual

-support among groups and individuals interested in sharing the same physical

-structure to share their knowledges, activities and researches.

-

-We attempt then to break the relation between service provider/clients,

-because we're not service providers and the groups/individuals we host are not

-our clients.  We both make part of the same collaboration network where diverse

-interests converge towards mutual empowerment. And who knows if such way of

-organizing things won't spread to other parts of society.

-

-Thinking about knowledge distribution and with an incentive to new groups

-interested in keeping their own server infrastructure, we try to share the most of

-our organization scheme.

-

-And remember: for us, $collective is not just a hosting system or a service provider.
