I'm in involved with the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair (which I'm sure lots of people have thoughts about, as an institution and a project).

Currently trying to set up more infrastructure using Riot/Matrix, both for getting shit done on the collective and coordinating with different sets of volunteers (so far, mostly translators, for which a collaborative chatroom setting has been sort of useful). We're also opting for sort of an "online event" on May 17, which might prove interesting? This will involve a large public chatroom accessible via an IRC client, Telegram, or any Matrix client, where people can "interact" and have questions answered, and there will hopefully be some discussions and presentations on teleconferencing software as well.

It's a bit ambitious and it's unclear if we'll be able to pull it off!

I think there are definitely some meta questions, like, are we giving in to the existent and/or digital hellworld and/or mediocrity, but I dunno. I'm having fun learning things, and like, the physical bookfair isn't going to happen otherwise, lol

Maybe join us in the public chatroom (hosted on anarchyplanet.org)? Especially if you are a tech-knowledgeable person
