Herald Angel: Welcome everybody for our
next talk 'Infrastructures in a horizontal
3
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:27,360
farmers community'. I guess one thing that
all of us have in common is, that we all
4
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,220
are in special communities. We want to
build better communities. We want to build
5
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:36,400
better infrastructure. And we want to
build better technology, be it in a little
6
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,790
hackerspace in Sweden or in a theater
group in France or in an NGO in Germany.
7
00:00:41,790 --> 00:00:46,800
That is something that unites us all. And
our next speaker, Andrea, she is giving us
8
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,800
some insights into their farming community
in Italy, because she has 15 years of
9
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,739
experience with that. So I think we can
all learn quite a lot. And Andrea is a
10
00:00:56,739 --> 00:01:00,920
self-taught web developer. She graduated
in communication sciences. She is also a
11
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,309
cook and she is part of a group of radical
farmers. I would say she's a little bit of
12
00:01:05,309 --> 00:01:08,680
everything, a jack of all trades. So,
she's the best person to give us some
13
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,619
insights. So, please welcome Andrea with a
big, warm round of applause and enjoy this
14
00:01:13,619 --> 00:01:20,820
talk. Thank you very much.
15
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:28,009
Andrea: Well, thanks to you too, everyone,
to stay here. It will be difficult to fit
16
00:01:28,009 --> 00:01:35,170
in a 30 minute to explain the experience
and to explain the interaction between a
17
00:01:35,170 --> 00:01:41,679
lot of different communities, not only
these experiencing Bologna, but okay. I
18
00:01:41,679 --> 00:01:48,549
will speak about Campi Aperti. Campi
Aperti means open field in Italian. And I
19
00:01:48,549 --> 00:01:54,249
come from Bologna. OK, Bologna, if you
imagine that this is Italy, it's here,
20
00:01:54,249 --> 00:02:02,719
Bologna. I'm speaking about the growing
vegetable, growing organic food. This is a
21
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:13,760
community of a farmers. It's a community
of people that reclaim the rights to grow
22
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:20,200
our food and decide how the territories,
the land, the countryside is transformed.
23
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:30,060
And so it is direct action. There are
there are some reclaims to change some
24
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:37,920
law. But we are not wait that these law in
Italy are changed. But we do directly this
25
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,250
stuff. This stuff is a survival for
farmers, because the problem is that there
26
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:49,250
exists only law in Italy that are for the
transformed, the food, make pizza, bread,
27
00:02:49,250 --> 00:02:58,620
beer and this stuff and only are made for
industrial production. So, the production
28
00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:06,510
of unmade, of the farmer is, that there
are no law for these. You can't do sell.
29
00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:14,300
You can't do direct sell. But this group
of farmers do this is stuff. And so they
30
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:22,760
have a political action really, in the
street, in the square. And then they must,
31
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:31,070
the more visible stuff that they do, is do
these organic markets. But is not only
32
00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:39,730
this. Is political stuff. And these food,
their background and their roots in
33
00:03:39,730 --> 00:03:49,740
radical anti capitalist group and from the
global movement in the 90s. So, where?
34
00:03:49,740 --> 00:03:55,820
Where are these stuff happen? Happen in
places that are free. Because you can't
35
00:03:55,820 --> 00:04:00,380
ask at the beginning. Fifteen years ago
you can talk. But also now, probably is
36
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:05,900
more difficult. You can't ask the
municipality to start that these kinds of
37
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:13,980
markets. And they found a good ground in
squat in square in the street, in places
38
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:22,310
that are managed by human agreement, not
the law. And so Campi Aperti was born in
39
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:32,460
2003 in XM24 in Bolognina. That is on a
shared, is occupied, public shared space,
40
00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:37,650
self-managed by our community. Is not a
service, is a place where the needs of the
41
00:04:37,650 --> 00:04:47,389
community and the answer to these needs,
find an answer and a solution. This place
42
00:04:47,389 --> 00:05:00,030
is under the threat of eviction and we
support a lot this place. Really, really
43
00:05:00,030 --> 00:05:10,050
important for our life. So I told you
where and I want also told you how. Not
44
00:05:10,050 --> 00:05:19,580
how, only how after. When. The time. The
time, it's important stuff. The time, for
45
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:29,680
capitalism, is thinking in hours and
money. But, and it's fast, but this, is
46
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:38,090
shaped on you, on an egocentric idea. But
this is not the only way to think the
47
00:05:38,090 --> 00:05:48,750
time. For farmers is really easy. Think of
the time cyclical, not egocentric, not
48
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:58,009
human centred way. And so there are habits
to plan the stuff and to take a seasonal
49
00:05:58,009 --> 00:06:05,529
agreement or seasonal planning. And so,
the first stuff to rethink our life and
50
00:06:05,529 --> 00:06:13,789
our community is, take our time. Our time
of to grow relationship and our time to
51
00:06:13,789 --> 00:06:23,479
think how to do this stuff. And our time
when we buy something. Our time to think
52
00:06:23,479 --> 00:06:31,469
where it came from. The stuff that we buy
and the stuff that we eat. In which how
53
00:06:31,469 --> 00:06:36,539
are developed and where it comes from.
Where from, from what the community and
54
00:06:36,539 --> 00:06:49,600
from what territories. OK. This is a gift
that you will find in the slide. If you go
55
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:58,340
to check after these talk, you can see
also a video in Creative Commons for sure.
56
00:06:58,340 --> 00:07:06,999
And but the now I have not the time to
show our action in video. I want to
57
00:07:06,999 --> 00:07:12,050
explain a bit the infrastructure. The
infrastructure is based on the human
58
00:07:12,050 --> 00:07:22,059
agreement and the group of Campi Aperti
started with five people in an occupied
59
00:07:22,059 --> 00:07:29,750
space, public space and they started with
a small market. After and after they grew.
60
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:38,309
And now there are more than 150 farmers.
And with thousands of people that come at
61
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:47,780
the market and are co-producer of the
products. And so we manage ourself by
62
00:07:47,780 --> 00:07:57,279
assemblies and we do this stuff for
consensus method. So the topic are food
63
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:04,759
autonomy, be independent with the food.
Safeguard the territories, practice
64
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:11,630
agroecology and we shared, we have a
shared warranty. So the group of farmer
65
00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:22,869
not to take, not upset, decentralize the
warranty about organic food by the state,
66
00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:28,909
but they practice our shared warranty.
Means that everyone, everyone of the
67
00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:36,909
producer at the market, take care of the
product, also of the orders and and the
68
00:08:36,909 --> 00:08:42,330
care of the relationship . But this also
means, that if you break the trust, one
69
00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:47,850
with the other, you go out from the
community. And this looks like difficult
70
00:08:47,850 --> 00:08:53,170
to decide, but is not so difficult,
because when you are local, and you know
71
00:08:53,170 --> 00:09:01,270
the products that you grow and the how are
organic, it's easy to to decide this
72
00:09:01,270 --> 00:09:09,680
stuff. Is a look like that, for explain
some technical people, is like if you not
73
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:20,170
trust the certification authority, but you
are based on a web of trust. And so we
74
00:09:20,170 --> 00:09:25,680
include also in our relationship, in our
work, the sense of the limit and the
75
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:32,339
mutualism. So we plan to not grow too much
but to grow only locally. And we divided
76
00:09:32,339 --> 00:09:38,740
the assembly. There are assembly for every
market, that are 8 every month. There are
77
00:09:38,740 --> 00:09:45,430
assembly globally all together, every two
months. And the assembly every two months
78
00:09:45,430 --> 00:10:00,529
locally for our valley, are based on
formal consensus method. This means that
79
00:10:00,529 --> 00:10:07,350
we trained us to stay in the consensus
area. We know that the agreement are based
80
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:14,360
in balance between a relationship and
knowledge. We come all from a different
81
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,230
knowledge, because we are specialized in
different stuff and that we have to grow
82
00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:26,430
together our relationship, so we can, we
try to stay in this area of consensus
83
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:31,120
knowing that we are different knowledge,
but I trust. We don't want to stay in
84
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:36,830
ananomity. We don't want stay always agree
all together, because there are a lot of
85
00:10:36,830 --> 00:10:44,351
risk in that area. You can, in this area,
you grow the diversity. In that area, you
86
00:10:44,351 --> 00:10:51,199
are doing echo chambers and you are doing,
you can do easily mistake in the unanimity
87
00:10:51,199 --> 00:10:59,540
place. In the other, you find the low
trust and different knowledge. So you are
88
00:10:59,540 --> 00:11:05,500
in dissent normally and you have of low
relationship, so low trust. But a full
89
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:10,009
agreement of what do you want for the
future? The only stuff that you can do is
90
00:11:10,009 --> 00:11:15,510
take a technical agreement together. So
write really specific law. But we don't
91
00:11:15,510 --> 00:11:22,390
want law, so we want the agreement and the
guideline. The other stuff are done by
92
00:11:22,390 --> 00:11:31,259
trust, one with the other. So, told you
that we use formal consensus method, means
93
00:11:31,259 --> 00:11:38,940
that in these distributed meeting, we have
shared agreements. We start with a base
94
00:11:38,940 --> 00:11:45,709
ground that is that every assembly is
reported. So at the beginning of every
95
00:11:45,709 --> 00:11:51,310
assembly, we choose a rapporteur, or more
than one, because sometimes there are
96
00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:59,709
global assembly, that start at the morning
and finish in the evening. And so, we have
97
00:11:59,709 --> 00:12:07,251
a time, a keeper for the speaker. And we
decide to put in our agreement that the
98
00:12:07,251 --> 00:12:15,300
right to listen and to be listened and
that no meta conversation of the topic,
99
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:23,360
only everyone talk speak for herself.
Okay, we need that to communicate. And
100
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:29,029
when we started to think about the
communication, we speak with another
101
00:12:29,029 --> 00:12:36,930
community that know better this stuff
about communication than us and we found,
102
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:44,730
and we know, because we share that same
the same political idea, with hackmeeting.
103
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:52,750
Hackmeeting is a community in Italy that
is anti fascist, anti racist and anti
104
00:12:52,750 --> 00:13:02,350
sexist, and was born in the 90s also, that
the community and every year they meet in
105
00:13:02,350 --> 00:13:09,490
different space, occupied space in Italy.
They are for the freedom in the
106
00:13:09,490 --> 00:13:16,250
communication, and with a critical view
about technologies. So, we ask asked and
107
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:26,029
we discover a lot of self managed server,
and for first tools that we implemented in
108
00:13:26,029 --> 00:13:36,800
the 2004, was our website.Yeah. And we
started with a lot of mailing list. The
109
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,730
first tool was mailing list and after, to
communicate outside in the group, we
110
00:13:41,730 --> 00:13:47,920
started with this website hosted
autistici/inventati. That is one of the
111
00:13:47,920 --> 00:14:01,480
older self managed server in Italy near
us, with a strong view about anonymity and
112
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,639
the privacy oriented for the user. The
communication are really, really
113
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:16,629
important. In group that live in the
countryside you live in different farm,
114
00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:22,519
far from one from the other. And so
happened, that to use the mailing list,
115
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:28,221
all people need the connectivity. So, what
happened that if you based your
116
00:14:28,221 --> 00:14:33,680
connectivity on a commercial companies and
your are in countryside, you discovered
117
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:41,300
that you are told: No, you are still far
from the city and we don't earn too much
118
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:49,209
enough to bring to you connectivity. And
so, we started to explore how to resolve
119
00:14:49,209 --> 00:14:54,500
this problem. And we discovered that
exists yet a community that have thought
120
00:14:54,500 --> 00:15:00,760
to this stuff and that yet existed a Pico
peer (Peer to Peer) agreement. And in Italy, we
121
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:12,850
meet ninux, ninux community that are
based, that shared us and teach us how set
122
00:15:12,850 --> 00:15:23,939
mesh network. And so I show you a bit of
photograph. Our infrastructure is a small
123
00:15:23,939 --> 00:15:33,620
and grow really slowly, and is based, our
hardware are 15 people that want stay
124
00:15:33,620 --> 00:15:38,500
connected, one with the other, and
understood that the broadcasting
125
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:47,899
connection is nice, is really lighter, use
5Ghz point to point antenna, to do point
126
00:15:47,899 --> 00:16:02,600
to point connection and so the cost to
stay, to learn and to do maintain that
127
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:09,709
network is an effort that they can do. And
we found also for people more technician
128
00:16:09,709 --> 00:16:18,690
that help, is like help to install Linux,
but here we install OpenWrt. And after
129
00:16:18,690 --> 00:16:25,100
that people know how maintain and take
care, they in freedom their PC. And in
130
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:30,870
this case, antenna. We use all super
proprietary hardware that we change the
131
00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:36,230
firmware and we use tp-link ubiquity but
we are switching to an open hardware
132
00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:43,799
project that is LibreRouter, and as
software we use LibraMesh, libremesh.org.
133
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:58,449
That is a project, that is a bundle of
configuration open over OpenWrt. And that
134
00:16:58,449 --> 00:17:08,400
use a different protocol like babeld and
batman adv. But yeah, the topic of them is
135
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,220
make easier this stuff for the user, and
they do. So, we have a blog
136
00:17:13,220 --> 00:17:20,770
antennine.noblogs.org. That where we take
the documentation of this stuff. We think
137
00:17:20,770 --> 00:17:30,110
a lot about technology. Also think, why we
are adopt technology. And so we started to
138
00:17:30,110 --> 00:17:40,020
deploy a feminist view about technologies.
Means, that we thinks that every
139
00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:45,690
technologies is an effort. When someone
told to you, that this technology is
140
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:53,750
smarter, sometime is because is not the
considering the entire cycle of life of
141
00:17:53,750 --> 00:18:02,830
that technologies. And so looking a lot in
the technologies that everyone this moment
142
00:18:02,830 --> 00:18:10,799
is doing advertisement about technologies:
hey use this, is easy. We think: ok no,
143
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:16,320
stop. Stop. Is better wait and think what
do we are doing. So we think that it's
144
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:23,260
important not to do the things alone,
because you became the point of failure of
145
00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:29,081
your of your community. To be resistant
you need to do this stuff with more
146
00:18:29,081 --> 00:18:37,480
people, not start if you are alone, and
mix proficient people with newbie.
147
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,110
Contemplated the possibility of making
mistake and so, build the testing
148
00:18:42,110 --> 00:18:47,320
environment before put the stuff in
production. Document everything to explain
149
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,681
the choice that you took, and that give
the time to yourself and to the other to
150
00:18:52,681 --> 00:19:00,620
study, and not to be too much specialized.
Specialized brings people too easily to go
151
00:19:00,620 --> 00:19:10,390
to burnout. It's better, if you trust
yourself in more than one topic and share
152
00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:14,610
knowledge with the other. Not to go too
much in deep in one topic, because you
153
00:19:14,610 --> 00:19:21,800
lost the entire view, and why you are
doing something. You are not pay for to do
154
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,340
this stuff for community, is a need for
community and is a richness of for
155
00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:35,029
everyone of your community, in our view,
in our way that we do this stuff. So, we
156
00:19:35,029 --> 00:19:44,240
start from our needs. We started to speak
about our digital data in 2016. This is a
157
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:51,120
meeting of a Genuino Clandestino. That is
the bigger network of self organized
158
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:56,460
farmers in Italy. And there are a lot of
different small communities that do, that
159
00:19:56,460 --> 00:20:02,620
to grow vegetable and do direct sell in
shared public space. And we started to
160
00:20:02,620 --> 00:20:07,419
speak about our digital data and we
decided, that we don't want to put in
161
00:20:07,419 --> 00:20:14,590
Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple
space. We are anti GAFAM. And because
162
00:20:14,590 --> 00:20:20,220
we are against the big distribution of the
food and also big distribution of the
163
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:25,289
data, we think that in this moment is
really important to take care of our
164
00:20:25,289 --> 00:20:35,930
intimacies and our data. So we decided to
put in server and to run ourself these
165
00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:46,870
services. And we spend a one hour, one
year to find a virtual private server.
166
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:54,900
Someone that host our digital place that
shared with us our policy, and we found in
167
00:20:54,900 --> 00:21:02,850
France, in Toulouse, the tetaneutral.net.
That is inside of a bigger network that is
168
00:21:02,850 --> 00:21:09,850
federated france data network and are
really important for us, because they, I
169
00:21:09,850 --> 00:21:13,380
thinks that they do a good work, because
of they are for the neutrality, for
170
00:21:13,380 --> 00:21:22,960
freedom of choice to the internet and with
budget based on donation of the community.
171
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:28,919
We've passed a lot of time to find, inside
our community of farmers, sysadmin and we
172
00:21:28,919 --> 00:21:37,929
found, and we started to use the Nextcloud
as a free software to where host our data.
173
00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:45,190
And we decide to start, we started in
March of this year, and we decided to
174
00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:54,210
start to use only for administrative work.
So, only for 10 people of the group. And
175
00:21:54,210 --> 00:22:01,261
after deciding if these are tool is OK for
our needs or not. If is not we will see
176
00:22:01,261 --> 00:22:08,610
and we are just in time to go back and not
use. But at the moment, the stuff are
177
00:22:08,610 --> 00:22:20,220
running good, and we are store in this
cloud the cards about our farmers. Because
178
00:22:20,220 --> 00:22:27,260
we make everyone to enter in Campi Aperti
needs to be visited by another farmer, and
179
00:22:27,260 --> 00:22:36,049
that to know the, how they grow vegetable
and the how they do organic stuff. And so,
180
00:22:36,049 --> 00:22:45,450
we write dossier of ourself, and it's why
the website was not more enough. We need
181
00:22:45,450 --> 00:22:53,840
private place where store this stuff, also
to decentralize the task that we have to
182
00:22:53,840 --> 00:23:01,350
do. To distribute the task. And so, after
this one year of testing, we are planning
183
00:23:01,350 --> 00:23:09,929
how to grow, okay. If all the stuff are
going good, we decide how to grow. And so
184
00:23:09,929 --> 00:23:16,240
again, we decide to not to do this stuff
alone. We look around in a community near
185
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:24,529
to us and we decide again to adopt
something that is yet to use the body
186
00:23:24,529 --> 00:23:26,890
(???) of community that is anti-fascist,
anti-racist and anti-sexist. That is
187
00:23:26,890 --> 00:23:38,640
Autistici/Inventati. They change the
infrastructure this year and they moved
188
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:50,090
container infrastructure to have divided
the configuration, the specific
189
00:23:50,090 --> 00:23:57,899
configuration, the configuration that you
can share with other and the software. All
190
00:23:57,899 --> 00:24:10,220
this free stuff are managed by
minimalistic orchestrator container. And
191
00:24:10,220 --> 00:24:17,789
that is called the FLOAT. And we find this
solution interesting, also because we
192
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:27,960
started with the other possibility of a
solution, and we saw that in this moment
193
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:36,870
there are huge software also open source,
that can resolve this problem. But
194
00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:44,630
developed and used by huge open source
company that not really feed our needs. So, we
195
00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:50,519
are interesting in this software, because
give static service allocation, like some
196
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:57,380
of these feature looks like not real, are
non feature for the needs of the
197
00:24:57,380 --> 00:25:04,750
companies. But for us are, because we have
our community, so we have different needs.
198
00:25:04,750 --> 00:25:11,640
So, how its work, quickly. Because yeah,
we are at the CCC, I have to show you
199
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:17,470
something of technical. So, we have a
specific genetic configuration, that we
200
00:25:17,470 --> 00:25:24,269
versioning with GIT. We use Ansibel to
versioning our configuration and the
201
00:25:24,269 --> 00:25:32,809
software, so the generic part, is builded
by the continuous integration that we have
202
00:25:32,809 --> 00:25:37,610
on our decision Autistici/Inventati. That
is builded in a... we have a Docker
203
00:25:37,610 --> 00:25:45,309
registry and build the Docker image. And
so, FLOAT deployed, running our Ansible
204
00:25:45,309 --> 00:25:53,810
playbook, deploy the different Docker
image on the different machine. So, why
205
00:25:53,810 --> 00:26:00,059
it's good for us? Because we can
versioning all the stuff, so we can also
206
00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:06,940
do mistake but go back and we can deploy
on virtual machine, where we can do
207
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:25,909
testing and on the real production on the
real machine. This is, I thinks why we
208
00:26:25,909 --> 00:26:32,690
thinks to adopt. Also, because we want not
use, we don't want to stay on a virtual
209
00:26:32,690 --> 00:26:40,400
machine, we would like move on bare metal
and we trust to the group, these
210
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:50,460
orchestrator is only 1000 line of Python
code, and is written like, is Ansibl
211
00:26:50,460 --> 00:26:59,029
plugin and we can use the double factor
authentication, universal two factor
212
00:26:59,029 --> 00:27:04,120
authentication. That is good for us,
because if you have for the stuff that
213
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:10,789
your security is base, could be based on
how to do a token. So you have a security
214
00:27:10,789 --> 00:27:18,950
in something of local, that you have to
keep. And in some integrated monitoring,
215
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:26,960
like Prometeus and Graphader (???). And
this feature, or non- feature is, that the
216
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,300
services go down when something fail. And
this is, for us, this is important. We are
217
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:38,230
not a company that have to stay 24 hour
up. We are a community that they want to
218
00:27:38,230 --> 00:27:45,049
know, if something goes wrong with your
machine and if someone put physically the
219
00:27:45,049 --> 00:27:56,590
hands on your machine. Yeah, this is, now
is the time of the question. Slow please,
220
00:27:56,590 --> 00:28:02,779
the question, because I don't speak really
well English Andrea laughs you see now?
221
00:28:02,779 --> 00:28:08,820
But also I don't understand really well.
And these is the long list of thanks and
222
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:15,289
all the community that I speak about.
There is also EclecticTechCarnival, that
223
00:28:15,289 --> 00:28:23,580
is a feminist community, that pushed a lot
to me to arrive here to explain this stuff
224
00:28:23,580 --> 00:28:30,559
to you. And thanks.
225
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:36,220
applause
226
00:28:36,220 --> 00:28:41,140
Herald Angel: Thank you very much for the
great talk. It was very, very interesting.
227
00:28:41,140 --> 00:28:45,149
We still have 10 minutes for questions and
answers. If you have questions, just move
228
00:28:45,149 --> 00:28:50,740
to the three microphones in the room, and
then we're going to have you ask your
229
00:28:50,740 --> 00:28:54,610
questions. So, we start with microphone
number two. Very slow in English, please.
230
00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:58,799
Andrea: Yes.
Mic 2: Thank you very much for the talk. I
231
00:28:58,799 --> 00:29:03,970
have a question. The customers, do they
pay in advance for a year or do they pay
232
00:29:03,970 --> 00:29:11,760
at the market?
Andrea: Ok. In Bologna, in Campi Aperti
233
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:19,289
experience is direct sell in the market.
So the co-producer, the consumer pay at
234
00:29:19,289 --> 00:29:25,570
the moment. But we know that that is not
the perfect model and there are other
235
00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:30,760
other experiment the city, in which Campi
Aperti and this group of farmer is
236
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:43,000
involved. And so, there is also Arvaia,
that is another group that the customer
237
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:52,370
pay in advance. And have a place, and also
work in fields, and take boxes every week.
238
00:29:52,370 --> 00:30:03,210
And there is also another project, that is
Camilla and is based on... you are
239
00:30:03,210 --> 00:30:13,309
associated and you have to work three
hours every month in a market. And there
240
00:30:13,309 --> 00:30:18,909
is this market open for all the
association, all the people associated to
241
00:30:18,909 --> 00:30:26,320
these. So, it is a city that is
experimented. But yes, for Campi Aperti,
242
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,720
you not pay in advance it. Only for, in
other projects.
243
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,409
Mic2: Is it okay if I ask something else?
Herald Angel: If it's... Well, I would
244
00:30:34,409 --> 00:30:37,399
first take microphone number three. But if
you just stay there, I feel like there
245
00:30:37,399 --> 00:30:40,919
would be still time for another question.
So, microphone number three, please.
246
00:30:40,919 --> 00:30:48,410
Mic3: Yes. I have a question about
consensus. You mentioned that some level
247
00:30:48,410 --> 00:30:54,080
of disagreement is not only acceptable,
but maybe good, because if everyone
248
00:30:54,080 --> 00:31:00,500
agrees, then there is no discussion,
development and less trust. But what level
249
00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:05,741
of disagreement is acceptable? Have you
tried different models, like how you
250
00:31:05,741 --> 00:31:13,139
achieve this consensus?
Andrea: Yeah, we think that disagreement
251
00:31:13,139 --> 00:31:21,950
is important to not hide problems. So
also, we put attention to not to say at
252
00:31:21,950 --> 00:31:29,330
the end of a conversation we are all
agree, but for example, if someone of more
253
00:31:29,330 --> 00:31:40,100
doubt and we have a formal way of a
consensus. So, to be sure that we are all
254
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:47,779
agree, we do an orientation, we call it,
and that means that you can divide the
255
00:31:47,779 --> 00:32:01,940
group in three position. Active consent,
consensus with doubts but that you think
256
00:32:01,940 --> 00:32:08,100
that trust is enough, so you are agree,
but you will be not active to do this
257
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:16,320
stuff. And the active dissensus, that
means, that the decision that are you
258
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:24,169
taking is against the principle and if you
put yourself in that position, you have to
259
00:32:24,169 --> 00:32:31,639
explain to all the others and you have to
do again an orientation. But if you are
260
00:32:31,639 --> 00:32:39,899
more than 20% of the people that stay in
active dissent, you have to re-discuss
261
00:32:39,899 --> 00:32:46,690
all. So, became block, blocked.
Herald Angel: Great, thanks for the
262
00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:49,970
explanation. That was very interesting.
Microphone number two, again.
263
00:32:49,970 --> 00:32:55,920
Mic2: Thank you for your talk. I wanted to
ask whether you have any mechanism to help
264
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:01,289
people that want to become farmers,
especially to acquire new land.
265
00:33:01,289 --> 00:33:08,320
Andrea: Hmm. Existed a project and now is
not the more active. We are sad, because
266
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:16,919
it's not more active and because this
project started from people that had these
267
00:33:16,919 --> 00:33:23,880
need. And after they found the land and
say: ok, we have not more the time. And we
268
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:36,700
have, we not find again who put the time
in that project. And so, there is not a
269
00:33:36,700 --> 00:33:46,710
real... process in which we help people to
became farmer. But, for example, the
270
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:52,639
mailing list is open. Everyone that
participated to the market can be says can
271
00:33:52,639 --> 00:33:57,381
join the mailing list and also the
assembly and the meeting and so happen a
272
00:33:57,381 --> 00:34:05,320
lot of time and that the people asked for
space in countryside so find information.
273
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:12,770
And the other stuff, that really change,
make the change is, that a lot of people
274
00:34:12,770 --> 00:34:20,890
come in Campi Aperti asking us to do
transformation, to transform only the food
275
00:34:20,890 --> 00:34:27,090
and this fact is not acceptable in Campi
Aperti. The people are not can only
276
00:34:27,090 --> 00:34:32,530
transformate the food. We are, we do
practice for be independent from
277
00:34:32,530 --> 00:34:43,690
capitalism for our food. And so you can't
ask only to transforme. So they... we ask
278
00:34:43,690 --> 00:34:52,940
to these people to start a project to grow
vegetables and became a farmer. And so...
279
00:34:52,940 --> 00:35:02,690
or started an active collaboration with a
group of farmer yet exist. And so in this
280
00:35:02,690 --> 00:35:06,869
way started more people to live in
countryside.
281
00:35:06,869 --> 00:35:10,869
Herald Angel: Thank you very much. Next
up, we have a question from the Internet.
282
00:35:10,869 --> 00:35:18,580
Signal Angel: You seem to have gone really
far in doing a lot of things yourself. Do
283
00:35:18,580 --> 00:35:22,819
you still rely on a lot of mainstream
technologies? Or did you re-implement
284
00:35:22,819 --> 00:35:25,680
everything yourself?
Andrea: Do you...?
285
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:30,910
Herald Angel: Is everything self-made? Or
do you still rely on some mainstream
286
00:35:30,910 --> 00:35:35,760
technologies? Is there something that you
use, that is mainstream capitalist, that
287
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,359
everybody else uses too? Like, you
mentioned that you don't use Google or
288
00:35:39,359 --> 00:35:42,910
Facebook or something like that. Apart
from that, is that something mainstream
289
00:35:42,910 --> 00:35:47,920
that you still use that you rely on?
Andrea: Yeah. We are not monopolistic.
290
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:59,701
Like, we have the basic communication
independant infrastructure, but yes, some
291
00:35:59,701 --> 00:36:06,520
of them are, we are not the direct running
Autistici. We are based that on self-
292
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:13,970
managed servers. So, same community that
the shared with us a political topic, but
293
00:36:13,970 --> 00:36:22,180
in that way we are not running the
service. We are not running the service.
294
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:28,530
To communicate that we use the Website and
the mailing list, so we have our
295
00:36:28,530 --> 00:36:39,130
independent communication, but there is
not... we not avoid people of us that use
296
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:46,730
also commercial instrument or commercial
such network. All this stuff is only that
297
00:36:46,730 --> 00:36:54,860
we don't trust that too much, that way of
communication will be really useful when
298
00:36:54,860 --> 00:36:59,060
when we need. Or...
Herald Angel: All right. Another question
299
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:02,970
from microphone number two, please.
Mic2: Hi. Thank you for your presentation.
300
00:37:02,970 --> 00:37:10,119
In your presentation, you mention dossier
written by farmers about the other
301
00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:16,240
farmers, and farmers visiting other
farmers. I wanted to ask, these dossier,
302
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:22,470
what kind of information do they collect
and how are they used? I mean, what's the
303
00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:27,670
purpose of the dossier and what
information do they collect?
304
00:37:27,670 --> 00:37:40,970
Andrea: Okay. Is the protocol of shared
warranty. And so, a person that want enter
305
00:37:40,970 --> 00:37:51,300
in Campi Aperti from the website, can ask
to be visit and starter to fill a form and
306
00:37:51,300 --> 00:38:02,250
fill dossier, these cards. And after,
these cards go to the people, assembly of
307
00:38:02,250 --> 00:38:10,619
that valley, the valley where this farmer
come from and decide when do the visit. So
308
00:38:10,619 --> 00:38:19,210
this visit is reported to the next
assembly. And who did the the visit say,
309
00:38:19,210 --> 00:38:28,550
what this person wrote in the card is a
true or not true. And so, also here you
310
00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:39,180
have a, you have the weight of trust, of
the whole much trust of the words of a
311
00:38:39,180 --> 00:38:48,560
person that asked to enter, and we
store this card, this dossier and we
312
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:55,619
print. We print and we put physically on
the desk when people do the market.
313
00:38:55,619 --> 00:39:02,560
Because it's really important that people
that come to buy the stuff, know where and
314
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,819
if we want to go also to visit the
producer. And also, because I told you
315
00:39:07,819 --> 00:39:16,710
that the some of that organic stuff are
organic, but not that with the
316
00:39:16,710 --> 00:39:22,290
certification by the state. And also a lot
of the stuff that are transformed are
317
00:39:22,290 --> 00:39:26,440
inside of the campaign Genuino
Clandestino. That means that are
318
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:33,480
transformed, handmade, but the out of the
law. And so you need that, that people are
319
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,170
well-informed, who buy this stuff.
Mic2: Ok, so...
320
00:39:37,170 --> 00:39:41,420
Herald Angel: Sorry. Sorry. I'm very
sorry. But we don't have time for a back
321
00:39:41,420 --> 00:39:44,571
up questions. Also, I'm very sorry, I
would have loved to have the person who
322
00:39:44,571 --> 00:39:47,880
ask the first question also have like,
asked the last question, but we ran out of
323
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,360
time. But I'm sure that you can still
catch Andrea after the talk and ask
324
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,010
whatever questions were not answered. So,
first of all, thanks for all of your very
325
00:39:56,010 --> 00:39:59,930
interesting and clever questions and also
thank you very much, Andrea, for the great

00:39:59,930 --> 00:40:04,310

warm round of applause for Andrea. Thank
