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


This is a shared server for '''collective publishing experiments''' to explore how different ways of working are shaped by (and shape) different realities. CC is currently maintained by Simon Browne and Manetta Berends from Rotterdam (NL).
CC is currently hosting the following things:


We think about CC as a pedagogical space in flux. It's a production environment (to produce collective publications), a (re)learning environment (to document, read, write and execute) and an explorative environment (to experiment with publishing workflows). We come from a background in design and we have made many PDFs and printed matter. From a desire to question our toolsets, training and ways of working, we felt that we needed a space to cross many types of (other) knowledges: serving, designing, publishing, tool-making, prototyping, software-studies, theory, and more.

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.
