**Quotes**
-> 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. (blablabla, 2050)
+> At first I did everything — website, announcements, logistics — but over time others started hosting workshops. When I went on holiday, the group continued without me. That was a good sign. Overall I would say; start small, be okay with leading at first, and then let it grow away from you. — Ana, London
-> Technology is the active human interface with the material world. (sdjkfhjksdh, 666)
+> It’s about seeding the ground, so others can pick it up and spread it. The infrastructure needs to be set up to be able to hold the space, for new people to come so they understand what's going on. — Nancy, Lutruwtia
-> 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. (sdkfsdfjkljklfsdjklsdf, 1999)
+> The work, that is primarily centered around the Netherlands, that's been going on for years, has had a local ripple effect and there are a lot of people active on this topic. We're not that well organized at the moment but there is a lot of diversity in what's going on. — crunk and d1, Rotterdam
+> It can be a bit challenging to bring some impulses into the conversation but not take over or steer it too much. — Simon, Vienna
+> What makes me proud is seeing people who first came to listen — then came back to present their own projects. — Brendan, Berlin
+> Some people decided to meet in person, we are all far away from each other in Ireland, even though I, as the initiator of the group, couldn’t make it. Just seeing photos from this meet up was rewarding. — Colm, County Mayo
+
+> I feel we are proud of our consistency over time, seeing how this idea has been transformed into something concrete that has endured. We will soon celebrate 4 years of presence (in 2026), advancing at a snail's pace. Sometimes the most important thing is to hold the space. — Archipiélago I

+> There's a kind of a fantasy that you can get something set up and then it'll just keep going on its own. And it just never works that way. You have to put in some effort. Just keep putting up flyers every month. — Steve, Philadelphia

+> I'm doing that with a few, like three or four people. We are doing things very slowly so that we can have everything set up well. So when we start expanding or bringing in people, they don't go ”Oh, so let's look at their website. Oh, it's not on a green server”. I know it's a silly way to do it really, but trying to have some basics in place.[..] I say it really is like compost. If you are going to follow these principles, it will be slow computing. — Nancy, Lutruwtia
