Description de PrePostPrint en 2017: PrePostPrint est un laboratoire et groupe de recherche autour des systèmes de publication libres alternatifs. PrePostPrint a la vocation de rassembler les acteurs qui travaillent sur des techniques de publications expérimentales. Nous partageons la volonté de nous passer des logiciels classiques de mise en page et d'édition pour nous tourner vers des technologies plus accessibles et conviviales, pouvant évoluer et s'adapter à chaque projet. La programmation devient un outil de design et permet de réinventer sans cesse le processus de création éditoriale, questionnant les formats et les formes de publications.

PrePostPrint is a label and a website aiming to promote graphic objects and resources in line with the following characteristics:
- Experimental – The graphic object is crafted within an experimental or unusual approach with alternative, hacked or DIY tools, made in a certain context constrained by its economy, its emergency or its collaborative nature.
- Free Software – The tools used to make the object and if it is possible, the content of the object itself, are published under a free (software) license.
- Documented – The object is documented according to the PrePostPrint criteria, then published on the website prepostprint.org.

Desciption de PrePostPrint en 2023 : PrePostPrint is a network of designers and groups working with experimental publishing techniques to produce graphic objects (publications/books/zines/posters/websites/...) and tools. PPP shares news on projects made with free software/hacked/DIY tools, tries to highlight alternatives approaches to the classic publishing workflows, and promotes sharing, documentation and the use of open licenses in these fields. PPP also tries to relay open calls, events, workshops or conferences, so please get in touch if your interests resonate and share the word!
PPP is currently evolving / under construction. After a recent reactivation during three days at Varia in Rotterdam, we hope to continue the adventure here, in online forms and IRL gatherings. Thanks to the folks of post.lurk.org for an account on this instance!
