<p>hi all!</p>
<p>just a quick sum of informations following the monthly meeting:</p>
<p>- AMRO: after a first email a month ago notifying us that our
proposal was still being discussed, they finally rejected our
proposal because too much in-depth, saying they would contact us
after this edition over the summer. They would like to invite us
to build up the next edition with us...</p>
<p>- error406 - netstalgia not acceptable: </p>
<div class="block-text">
<blockquote>
<p><i>Error 417 Expectation Failed is looking for projects that
reject the longing for a mythic “old internet” and confront
the politics of net nostalgia head-on. The internet is
broken, but was it ever whole? We invite artists, curators
and collectives from around the world to propose projects
that take a clear-eyed view of the past, while exploring how
internet histories can open pathways toward more equitable
futures. This open call asks: what protocols, networks,
archives and shared conditions are needed to build the
internet we actually want? Respond to netstalgia with error
406 not acceptable.</i></p>
<i>Grants from € 1’500 to € 7’000<br>
Deadline call for projects: 4 May 2026 (23:59 CEST)<br>
Jury: Chia Amisola, Olia Lialina, Peter Sunde & Vladan
Joler<br>
Deadline for the works: 30 October 2026</i></blockquote>

<p>-> we thought it would be a good opportunity to dedicate some
time to the maintenance of our infra, the backups and everything.
We could also bring in some of our artistic/crafts to visibilize
invisible labour of maintenance work (cf. mara's t-shirt "painful
backups and migrations").</p>
<p>-> a draft application was started on the pad for residencies
and fundings:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://eth.leverburns.blue/p/systerserver-funding#L197">https://eth.leverburns.blue/p/systerserver-funding#L197</a></p>
<p>let's try and write a full application before may 4th. Who'd be
up for it? We can proceed the same way we did for our application
to AMRO (a dedicated email alias).</p>
<p>tschüss, xo</p>
