For the first time, the Critical Engineering Working Group are
opening<br>
their workshops to the online realm. It is a unique opportunity to
join<br>
Danja Vasiliev and Sarah Grant this Friday and Saturday for the
hands-<br>
on workshop using Hotglue. On the 10th and 11th of December Bengt<br>
Sjölén and Danja Vasiliev will work together again to lead the
workshop<br>
Selfhosted. Join us sending an email to piksel21(at)piksel(dot)no<br>

<br>
Building decentralized websites using Beaker and Dat is fun - and
a<br>
great, hands-on way to learn about the otherwise hidden structures
and<br>
exchanges that power the web. But to do so, one - more so than ever
-<br>
needs proficiency in the language of the web (HTML, CSS and
JavaScript)<br>
in order to participate.<br>
<br>
In a workshop specifically for children and other "outsiders",
a<br>
modified version of "Hotglue" is used to build decentralized
sites<br>
together and interlink them.<br>
<br>
Hotglue is a FOSS "What you see is what you get" editor for the
web.<br>
Created in 2010, it currently uses files on the server it is
installed<br>
to hold the users' data. A to-be-created modified branch of
"Hotglue"<br>
would instead work on top of the Dat ecosystem - forgoing the need
to<br>
be running a server altogether.<br>
<br>
Type: workshop<br>
Length: 4h<br>
Language: English<br>
Additional considerations: max. 12 participants<br>
<br>
Session Objective<br>
- learn how Dat & Beaker are different from your regular
website<br>
- build decentralized websites using Hotglue<br>
- interlink our decentralized websites<br>
<br>
Material and Technical Requirements<br>
Participant materials: Laptops<br>

Decentralise! These 4 hours walks participants through the process
of<br>
setting up their very own server on the Internet, complete with<br>
webmail, cloud, VPN, gallery, and website services, scalable to<br>
hundreds or thousands of users.<br>
<br>
Those interested in serving from home can bring in a PC to wipe and
re-<br>
purpose as a low-bandwidth server on the Internet. Others wanting
a<br>
high-traffic, media-rich solution will be encouraged to choose and<br>
register a geographically-local server package in class such that
they<br>
can be guided through a complete install (typical monthly fees are 5
to<br>
15 EUR).<br>
<br>
Good server-side security practices are covered, from
disk-encryption<br>
to password-management and firewalling. The basics of the UNIX
command<br>
line are also taught such that participants can securely log into
their<br>
server and administer it regardless of their physical location. It<br>
takes just one in a community to give the gift of high-quality,
low-<br>
carbon Internet infrastructure - to free yourself and others
from<br>
centralised and privacy-eroding services (like GMail, DropBox and<br>
Flickr).<br>
<br>
No prior experience is necessary, although attention to detail and<br>
note-taking skills are important.<br>
