This is [https://alexandria.anarchaserver.org/ our wiki] that you are reading at the moment.

This is our feminist multisite blogging platform based on Wordpress. At the moment we are beta-testing different blogs and use cases. We hope to be able in the future to provide wordpress to feminists collectives that require one for documenting and communicating about what they do. Check it out:

==== Why a feminist server? ====
===== Collective memories =====  


----
A [https://repository.anarchaserver.org/ cyberfeminist repository]] for archiving images, sounds and videos set up with piwigo [[Repository|Container repository]].


Feminist servers have been a topic of discussion, a partially-achieved aim and a set of slow-political practices among an informal group of transfeminists interested in creating a more autonomous infrastructure to ensure that data, projects and memory of feminist groups are properly accessible, preserved and managed.  The need for feminist servers is a response to: the unethical practices of multinational ICT companies acting as moral and hypocrite censors;  gender based online violence in the form of trolling and hateful machoists harassing feminist or women activists online and offline; the centralization of the internet and its transformation into a consumption sanctuary and a space of surveillance, control and tracking of dissent voices by government agencies among others. All these factors have led to a situation where the internet is not a safe space and where it is common to see feminist and activist work being deleted, censored, and/or prevented from being seen, heard or read. Freedom of expression is part of the feminist struggle and TransFeminists can contribute by providing collectively the knowledge and means to ensure their right to speak up remains accessible online, offline and wherever and under any format expression emerges. There will be no feminist internet without properly managed autonomous feminist servers. This is about regaining control and gaining autonomy in the access and management of our data and collective memories. It is also about being able to have feminist mailing lists, pads, wikis, content management systems, social networks and any other online services managed by feminist tech collectives. It is also of course about continuing to argue that social justice in technologically driven environments needs a more gender and culturally diverse presence in general. To achieve those objectives, many sessions during the THF discussed questions such as: what are the purposes of a Feminist Server? What  makes a server autonomous and feminist? Where are possible (socially sustainable) models for those servers? How do we create trust among us to develop cooperative approaches to the management of those spaces of resistance and transformation?
=== Transitional data container ===


Two feminist servers projects were rebooted during the THF!: the Systerserver [http://systerserver.net] project which was originally launched by Genderchangers and the Eclectic Tech Carnival (/etc) and which will focus on hosting online services; and this Anarchaserver which was launched by Calafou inhabitants and people involved in the organisation of the THF! and will focus on hosting data.  
We talk about transitional data when data needs to remain available only for a while and then should be erased properly. We have set up specific services such as:
* Encrypted files sending (Jirafeau https://transitional.anarchaserver.org/jirafeau/)
* Encrypted pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of pasted data. (Zerobin https://transitional.anarchaserver.org/zerobin/). Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES.
* Standard polls and events scheduling (Open Sondage https://transitional.anarchaserver.org/date/)
* Online surveys (LimeSurvey https://transitional.anarchaserver.org/poll/). Only available to invited users.
* Lists of things to do for AS (My tiny ToDo https://transitional.anarchaserver.org/mytinytodo/). Only available to invited users.


Anarchaserver currently hosts a mediawiki for the documentation of the THF! and a WordPress farm. Anarchaserver is an open project, even though moderated, and we are using the THF mailing lists and an IRC channel to coordinate the several tasks that need to be achieved.
=== Dead data container ===


==== Get involved ====
We talk about dead data when data has gone offline and it needs to be archived in a way that it remains possible to bring it back to life again.  Our nekrofeminist cemetery is oriented at feminist websites and projects that are offline and could become zombie data. Archived data:


----
* Static backup of [https://gendersec.anarchaserver.org/ gendersec wiki]


Join the [https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/thfeminist] mailing list which is used also for the organisation of the next THF. Present yourself to the admins and then to the list. The list is in spanglish, which means that all messages should be sent including a translation to spanish or english.
=== More information ===


Meet us on [http://webchat.freenode.net] the IRC chat on the channel #anarchaserver. We still have to figure out the regularity of our meetings but are leaning towards IRC chat sessions once a month and a distribution of tasks managed through the mailing list.

==== Policy: Aims, working methodologies, sustainability ====
Anarchaserver is an open project, even though moderated where we privilege trust, consensus, autonomy and feminist collaboration for deciding our next adventures in inhabiting AS in synthony with other feminist servers initiatives. To coordinate among ourselves, we privilege the no pressure policy for advancing tasks that free chosen based on the energy, dreams and availability of AS habitants. We are using different means and tools to coordinate and advance the different tasks among ourselves. If you want to get involved, check out our current [[Channels of communication]].
