Etherdump

https://pad.constantvzw.org/p/rosamex

Snowpoles are a branch of etherdump...

https://circulations.constantvzw.org/aggregations/

Aggregations runs every 5 minutes.
Snowpoles are added to the etherdump pad api...

They are making use of Konfluks, project from Roel Roscam-Abbing and used with Lumbung, to aggregate RSS feeds.
And can also integrate with a (OPDS?) calibre.
https://calibre.constantvzw.org/opds/

RSS vs. Activity Pub ...
Using HUGO, as a static site generator


How to invite people in...
How to hook into practices that are already happening...
Mostly Constant's taking notes, combined with field trips...
Try again in Graz (23 October) and introduce it as a core thing to try

Send a "rosamex/ethermex" 
from etherbox, to ethermex, to rosamex
end of August, meeting with Mara to complete the docs
What do we want from Rosa in rosamex?
Desire for way to work on the language, on how the machine speaks...
Desire for this to be a topic in the worksession.
Change the language of the platform you are working on.
To make this a process that is done with others... can be a way to introduce the server together, editing the 404 page or the error page..
can the guidelines be brought in there?
Activate different modes of being technical and not.

For instance, editing the headers/menus use in the HTML.
Including meta commands, like restarting nginx.
Making command aliases, e.g. for "man"...
Using the shell.
Guidelines / conditions.

Rosa: ssh with a shared user, only local ()...
Later on, some given access (with a "jump user" via the varia server)...


Weft/Warps ...  similar? to snowpoles... (snowpoles are more selective).

Sometimes content from other sites, that get "snowed under".... and constant has not place for that...
Repair cafe is looking for volunteers for the summer... They wanted Constant to help spread info...
A worksession in a Constant space but not of constant directly...

Ability to have presence on the Constant website... (like the old "signals")

Wefts was idea to provide a space for annotated links to outside projects.

Snowpoles: as an editing protocol..., editing for the future, marking notes, to-be-worked-further, offering it up for others to edit (via the feed)
Wefts: also an editorial space, it's about revisiting, renarrating, coming back to something

Separating the two moments, to open to others?

Mastodon style: Citation of what someone likes.... (example from wendy)
(or mastodon bot directly)
Ethermex RSS and group chat (XMPP)...

Snowpoles instructions are in the initial etherpad text.

Scanning station (scan to RSS)...

Worksession: Ability to have people assigned specific roles.

Example of Lumbung harvesting; invited and paid "harvesters" to do this role.
Something to try again, importance to invite people to specific roles.

Multiple RSS feeds that could be added. To have continuous editing.

would/could snowpoles flow back into a weft...

Snowpoles/aggregator as a collective research log

Suggestion to go through web of Techno-disobedience... to add snowpoles...?
> moment during the web sprint, maybe 1/2-1 hour of going through the pads on disobedient, in parallel


The frame: we test the idea for 5 years...
* Looking for new modes of publication...
MartinO: Desire for more attention in October (graz)... To work on more harvesting...

* Keep having "Friday discussions"
