-Its technology is how a society copes with physical reality: how people get and
-keep and cook food, how they clothe themselves, what their power sources are
-(animal? human? water? wind? electricity? other?) what they build with and what
-they build, their medicine — and so on and on. Perhaps very ethereal people
-aren’t interested in these mundane, bodily matters, but I’m fascinated by them,
-and I think most of my readers are too.
-
-Technology is the active human interface with the material world.
-
-But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and
-specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive
-exploitation both of natural and human resources.
-
-This is not an acceptable use of the word. “Technology” and “hi tech” are not
-synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any
-meaningful sense.
-
-We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly
-expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a
-computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen
-were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs,
-aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers —
-as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled
-glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe...
+Pour and share
+==============
+
+Connect outward, share knowledge, renew the brew.
+
+When a collective stabilises, the next step is connection — between cities,
+practices, and disciplines.
+
+Organise workshops, events, protests, actions, moments of exchange. Write and
+share documentation, tools, and ideas.
+
+Make use of the knowledge and skills of the group to support and help those in
+need of alternative computational systems. Whether it is to divest from Big
+Tech, create and moderate safer spaces, or organise activist projects.
+
+
+**Suggestions**
+
+- Host open activities or study sessions to invite newcomers.
+- Organize cross-city visits or online reading groups with other permacomputing collectives.
+- Publish your reflections — not polished results — in a zine, on the permacomputing wiki, an online notebook or on paper..
+- Let members create spin-offs or parallel experiments.
+- Keep your brew alive by staying porous — new people, new ideas, same care.
