#+TITLE Anarchy Planet Projex
Introduction
The purpose of this project is to protoype a process of collaborating with strangers over the internet on mutual interests, with a trajectory toward infosec/osint topics. Its current manifestion is a series of 'Anarchy Planet Tech Tuesdays' tutorials where we get together Tuesdays 8PM EST to go over a topic of choice.
Goals include:
- creating documentation of our proesses for internal use (and possibly for sharing in the future if it doesn't suck)
- discovering and using (and possibly developing) FOSS tools, in particular tools for collaboration
- creating a 'website' for keeping track of our notes that users can edit, with some sort of version control (hopefully git)
Feel free to generate your own tutorial topics, with the constraint that the tutorials should be:
- short. something we can do together start to finish in 1-2 hours.
- tangible. we should have something by the end that we didn't have before, such as an email address with gpg enabled.
- FOSS all day erry day
This project has an implicit tagline: "Can we even get one tutorial off the ground?" We've all felt the frustration of starting a project full of enthusiasm and motivation to accomplish huge goals, only for the initial excitement to wane as people get busy and drift on to other tasks. So this project is about starting small. Can we even complete one tutorial together? Can we break our grand plans into tiny projects that we can execute without requiring massive amounts of time and energy? And if we can't, how can we hope to accomplish larger and messier goals without repeating the cycle of early enthusiasm and eventual burnout?
Another motivation is to develop a process of creating documentation through 'user testing'– that is, understanding what someone needs to know in order to accomplish a task, and then providing that information and that information only. I find this more helpful than providing someone the entire history of the internet and expecting them to develop a deep understanding of every related concept and skill every time they try to read a tutorial. Ultimately I hope this will result in building a shareable corpus of knowledge that is (1) plaintext (2) shareable and (3) useful to others, but even if this task fails we will at least have the pieces we create which should be already useful in themselves.
Finally, this project is about building rapport with our collaborators as we go through this process together. At the very least we will end up with onboarding documentation that can help new people who come into the process late, or who decide to go through their own process. And at best we will also have data about whether or not a group of loosely-affiliated strangers on the internet can collaborate together to work toward their goals, leveraging existing infrastructure that exists by keeping track of their process and developing strategies for sharing that process. Can we?

privacy
'privacy' is a myth but that doesn't mean we should just give all of the companies and the state all of our data. it actually matters a lot (i.e. they are very much able to invade your life in powerful ways by mining your data) <3 <3
