Welcome to CC, a shared server infrastructure where tools, cultures and practices can cross, currently maintained by Simon, Manetta and Doriane from Rotterdam/Brussels.

CC is currently hosting the following things:

We propose to sign the collective calendar (on the right) when using any of these tools (which in practice is most often the octomode instance).

Below the calendar you can find the CC-collective conditions for use we formulated, which is something we would like to come back to revisit.

You can write us at: cc@practices.tools

This wiki

We use this wiki as a working environment to produce publications with, organise the collective CC server maintenance work, and document things we do.

octomode

→ CC instance: https://cc.practices.tools/octomode/
→ more info: octomode
→ git repo: https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/CC/octomode

Octomode is a collective editing space for PDF making, using Etherpad, Paged.js and Flask.

Inspired by the multi-centered, tentacular cognition capabilities of the octopus, we imagined a space in which the artificial boundaries of writing and design can be crossed; where writing, editing and designing can be done in one environment simultaneously, allowing the format to influence the matter and vice-versa.

The version installed on CC is open for use but it is password protected, reach out to us to ask for it, we share the password in an open ended network of trusted-peers and trusted-peers-of-peers.
