<br>
offering forth some text for 'about page'Ā feel free to tweak:
<br>
<br>
The earliest known feminist web server collective is
SysterServer.net launched on International Womxnās Day, 8 March
2005, as an initiative of the Gender Changer Academy. The
SysterServer.net offers services to feminist, queer and
antipatriarchal groups and collectives. It provides an autonomous
repository of resources and digital literacy support to womxn
where it was, and still is, partially seeded from the Open Source
and Free Software movements, which seek to incorporate principles
of freedom in sharing information and source code for others to
modify and extend to better suit holistic predilections.
<br>
<br>
The first web server of SysterServer.net was lovingly named Jean.
The act of renaming the hardware webservers as Adele and Jean is
contrary to heavily prescribed trajectories and metaphors in IT
language, such as āMaster and Slaveā, which was once typical when
referring to computational hardware drives.Ā Attending to the
persuasive power of metaphors and languages, as well as materials
and bodies, that then script bio-socio-political life of humans
and other life forms I important to SysterServer.net and feminist
internet frontier allies.
<br>
<br>
The implementation of technical utilities and the related costs
involved are conferred, administered, and maintained cooperatively
with peers. In this way, feminist web servers are built,
installed, co-designed, maintained, and autonomously determined by
an intimate community of āprosumersā which bestows agency to the
hands-on procedures beyond a typical consumer of off-the-shelf
computational client user service.

I agreed to help write a short draft for the 'about page' of
<br>
systerserver.town, explaining a little who runs it and what it's
for,
<br>
and what it isn't for.
<br>
<br>
Since it's a project by the systerserver collective I thought
I'd
<br>
start by describing what and who this group is, maybe by taking
it
<br>
from something that's been written before.
<br>
<br>
This is quite concise <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://systerserver.net/">https://systerserver.net/</a> which is totally
fine
<br>
but is there more anywhere? Do you have pieces of text that was
used
<br>
for anything maybe? If not that's just as well, it doesn't have
to be
<br>
long at all. But if yes that would be super helpful.
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Anne
