queerosnotes

Speaking about it in both practical and conceptual terms

queer through abandonware and through obscurity/minority

Prototyping at different moments, places.

Parallel platforms of development in engineering (haikuOS modifications, other ?), tech development and cultural/queer spaces

FLOSS as a queer proposition, an invitation to cross-dress
Normativities: hetero/homo/... promiscuity, identification, subjectivication
Queering as transgression/transformation: roles, positions ... destabilize. Nudge? security, identities, permissions. Shared login. Who would decide, assert? How is it tracking ... tracking is normative. Distributed tracking? Is this like Google personalisation? Random tracking/change ? A new distribution each day. http://120buntu.com/
Fuzzy logic, queer logic. What would this be? Trinary logic? http://relearn.be/2015/etherdump/trinary-logic.html
Network, it performs through the network(s). [how does this relate to community?]
Queer aesthetics ... styling Queer ... what would be a way to do that. Showing code running ... punk, glitch.
[missing:] Community: Queerness developed through collectivity. Not peer, but ... It can be parallel. Creating boundaries through the collective imagination of the users. To create a "collective queer normativity" that could be fluid, evolving and constantly being amended. Place of Haiku in all of this. Gay + Feminist + Queer + tech Developers

Practices:

    Education
    Researching - what is out there and not conformist (e.g Debian)
    Application - what is happening in the misuse in normative software
    Direct experiementation - work with designers, programmers, etc.

misuse of normative systems ...
direct experimenting, to develop certain modules, experiments

strategies: using cross-dressed Haiku

What would an OS for sexworkers be?

Alan Turing, The Stephenson essay. http://www.cryptonomicon.com/beginning.html

% GRAFT: infrastructure, relations, library
What would be a queer infrastructure? How to speak about this as an infrastructure? Susan Leigh Star: Infrastructure is “_fundamentally and always a relation, not a thing_”

% GRAFT: transformation, permanence, relations
How does QueerOS perform its transientness? Inherent stability of the OS vs. permanence, reliability. "As permanent as queer relations". Coming out and coming to terms.

How to actualise this project and how to go public with it?

- Connect to an acutal practice and to researchers such as: Susan stryker (security and transgender)
The current interest in Queer/feminist Infrastructures. Feminist servers, QueerOS ... APC Feminist principles on the internet ... without rethinking the actual infrastructure. Things are moving. Inscribe QueerOS into it.
Up coming publication by SpiderAlex and Stoopt in APC GISWatch publication: https://giswatch.org/ The 2015 Theme is on Sexual rights and the internet. The article will be entitled: Feminist Autonomous Infrastructures
