emancipated self-conception of the collective


Fire Systems servers
* Strive to be a situated technology.
* Strives to have a sense of context and considers itself to be part of an ecology of practices
* Strives to be run for and by a community that cares enough for it in order to make it exist
* Tries to build on the materiality of software, hardware and the bodies + entities gathered around it
* Opens itself to expose processes, tools, sources, habits, patterns

* Knows that networking is actually an awkward, promiscuous and consentual practice
* Is autonomous in the sense that it decides for it's own dependencies
* Radically questions the conditions for serving and service; experiments with changing client-server relations where it can
* Treats network technology as part of a social reality
* Wants networks to be mutable and read-write accessible
* Does not confuse safety with security
* Takes the risk of exposing it's insecurities
* Tries hard not to apologize when it is sometimes not available
