PrePostPrint Local Meetup recap

Once again, the maintainer's group met together to work on PPP over two days. They travelled from France and Belgium to Varia in the south of Rotterdam for an unconference style meetup. Within an open programme, many others joined to think along on what PPP has been, is, and could be. Which created a great dynamic and mix of people closer and more familiar to PPP and others who were new to it. We played music from a rotating selection of cassette tapes while revealing our "hidden agendas" for the meetup.

On the first day one group worked on questions around the PrePostPrint website and another on how to be a part of PPP in the communication channels being used on Matrix. We finished the day with a demonstration of tools and projects such as coline, OSPKit, pagetypetoprint, myfffonts, a small bash tool called "now", Vinnyfont, https://velvetyne.fr/, the Walkie Talkie XPUB grad catalog, https://digestingcare.eu/ + printed booklets, Spectres of Learning + Chattypub, ssh-warm-welcome, octomode. On the second day we were joined by more people in collective conversations around the idea of a PPP wiki, the political orientations of F/LOSS publishing tools, a local PPP group in the Netherlands and a call for new maintainers. We finished they day again with a request for more demo's, which included distribusi, P birds stickers, p-chaumont vectors, plancton, wiki-to-print/wiki2print/wiki-to-pdf, and some self aclaimed "dumb demos".

More info and links can be found here: https://pad.vvvvvvaria.org/PPP-local-meetup (from line 71 for demo's on day one, and from line 573 for the demo's on day two).

We took a group photo while some of us made the letter "P" with our hands: https://wiki.prepostprint.org/images/a/a9/PPP-Varia.jpg, which unfortunately misses some people on the picture who joined for the first day. More pictures can be found in the Varia archive soon (https://vvvvvvaria.org/archive/).

The two days were concluded with a round of hidden outcomes:
