PermaComputing _Wild Wiki Workshop_ with Well Gedacht Publishing

PermaPublishing Collective Hacking Session
September 14th
14:00 – 18:00 at Offline
Lichtenrader Str. 49, 12049 Berlin

A PermaPublishing session exploring the complete pipeline from collaborative wiki content to physical publications using low-tech, permacomputing approaches. Well Gedacht Publishing will share their wiki-2-print workflow that they used to create their latest zine publication, Post-Platform Digital Publishing Toolkit. Starting with DokuWiki markdown files, we'll walk through the entire process of script-based conversion with pandoc until you have a print-ready PDF.

The hands-on session focuses on our relatively simple workflow, together with DIY print formats. We'll work with dot-matrix line printers to create zines, develop useful, polemic and fun how-to guides, and explore alternative publishing methods that bridge web-2-print and community publishing practices.

The workshop welcomes DIY publishers, wiki enthusiasts, all those who are curious about low-tech printing, zine makers, and anyone interested in permacomputing approaches to publishing. We'll discover practices of semi-automated content conversion, experience with alternative printing techniques, and (hopefully) leave with a collaboratively created publication.

Bring a laptop if you have one, along with any content which you can use for wiki-2-print. We'll have one or two dot-matrix printers, and provide conversion scripts, the pandoc setup, and printing materials.
