[oldboys] warm welcome!

[Diana McCarty <diana@vifu.de>]

Hello all you old and new old boys! 

Congratulations to you old,old boys for all the work in putting this
list
together. I can't wait to hear more about the very cyberfem event.
 
Here goes a brief intro to myself and some kind of update for Susanne, 
(who I see most irregularly in berlino).

I'm co-founder of the faces mailing list (guessing that many of you are
on it as well?) that is run by Vali Djordjevic, Kathy Rae Huffman et
moi! 
We hosted the early discussion for the first cyberfeminist international
in Kassel - I have to say I'm still confused over some of that
cyberfeminism
vs. feminism discussion that took place back then. If you were there,
you
know what I mean ;) 

Those of you that were at that wonderfully, professionally organized
faces
meeting at bootlab will be pleased to know that we finally dealt with
all
kinds of horrendous paperwork and trips to the bank and are now a legal
institution in Germany! I'll keep you posted on future workshops - 
tech/talk etc. And if you are in berlin, please drop by, liz vlx 
arranged a fantastic new coffe machine here - hint hint. There is room
for
small presentations, so don't be shy! 

Maybe some of you are following the xxero thing a bit - i'll post some
info
here soon. I'm trying to get the hang of the MOO now - and plan to build
up
an area on cyberfeminist diets and political bananas. I'm still doing
some
research for this, but will send more on that when its ready. 

Ctrl Alt Delete/double click/ask your neighbor/etc
keywords from last summer's job - teaching computer skills to women at
IFU.
WOW what an experience. The team I worked with was great - Barbara are
you
here? She's a babe. That was a fantastic time and the women there were
just
incredible. Faith had a small taste during her talk there. 

It might be that I'm one of the bad investors in cf, but at least with
an
eye on the long-term returns. For me, all of the above amounts to some
form
of cyberfeminist practice, but can I just quote vns: 

> The female body is the most contested zone, pharmacutical and genetic
> engeneering corporations are vying for the territory. Cyberfeminism is
> knowlege. Cyberfeminism is activism.

and say ditto to that. 



viele gruesse, 

Diana
