About.
Calafou is the result of ideas, passions, experiences, and visions developed through a long time. An artifact that brings the future, a machine that generates paths and collective identities. A complex organism and hybrid made of multiples subjectivities that cooperate for building a reality of life based on the codes we chose, that belong to us and that we share. At last, a set of infrastructures that aims to remediate the lack of technological sovereignty we endure and which aims to make us dependant on the financial-industrial-cognitive empire. That is why we are strongly motivated to share the primary basis of our activities: the creation of collective knowledge. At the same time, it is necessary to understand that it a very young project, and as they say, there is a lot more to do.
At this point we are just starting to know each other and organize ourselves to live closely together in this project. We are building the Calafou we want to see, not without difficulties. We are struggling with the bad state of repair we found this place in, and also the long exercise of producing cohesion and efficiency in a group to work for a common goal in the context of a complex project that is both ambitious and innovative. We know that we are not going to build Calafou only by ourselves: we need the help of people who like to work together, collaborate, exchange, learn and practice. We want to be able to host you in the best way so you can contribute to the project without management blunders.
