Hi!
I've received this invitation to an event in Ukraine. I can't go, so
Xenia asked me if I could forward it to you all adminsysters.

If any of you is interested, please let me know and I will forward you
Xenia's email and PGP key.

Hi!

Xenia here

So, we are organizing a gathering of hackers and activists in Kyiv,
Ukraine, between April 23 and April 30, with the Delta.Chat team, but
also other folks from decentralized messaging projects.

I met with Jenny and we discussed about making a feminist workshop
there, for all those feminist activists who are interested in diving
into system administration and also for those women who want to talk
about tech in a safe and non-mixed environment.

In Kyiv there's a very curious situation: it's in the same time a very
progressive space, with active community, lots of IT specialists, lots
of Internet service providers, active civil society, but it's also the
rise of right-wing, patriarchical trends, and many feminist activists
are finding themselves lonely and unprepared, also from the point of
view of communication infrastructures.

So we are looking forward to organize a half-day or even 2 times half a
day workshop for those women, and with them, to give some basics on
administrating email servers, may be also IRC and or Jabber or Riot or
Mastodon - anything that we would like to focus on. But also to talk to
them, listen about their needs and desires, and decide how we can
actually support them or build things together on a longer-term.

Practically speaking, we will rent a few flats where people can stay,
and I think there will be a special non-mixed flat, where we can hang
out. We will also have a base camp -- a bigger place in a nice district
of Kyiv, called Podil, which is kind of central but not bourgeois, the
district where many anarchists and artists live. In the base camp we
will hang out, hack around, cook food together, share some drinks,
smokes and other.

On Sunday we will have a big Game, where we will test the new Delta.Chat
release, in the city. We will have two teams and many fun tasks - from
reporting on police and mapping them (with our function of secure
location streaming), to finding hidden dead drops in the city.



I really really really would love someone from Syster Servers to Come
and Join us!! The Heart of Code will come, at least Jenny said they
would try to bring two people from the collective.

If you consider coming, we can talk about how we can reimburse your
flights, and we will take care of the accomodation.
Everything is very cheap once you're in Kyiv, it's like 50 cents for a
beer, and 2 euro for a full meal. We will also have many things at the
base camp, so you will never starve ;)

Please let me know if you or some other people from Syster Servers can come!

You can connect us over email. Would be great.


I rreally think this is important -- it's that rare situation when we
can actually help bring knowledge and empowerment to many beautiful
creatures!


Here's the cryptpad with more details on what will happen:
