Dear F/LOSS designers, publishing enthusiasts and PPP practitioners,

PrePostPrint (PPP) is calling for a new round of maintainers! It's time for the previous group of maintainers to hand over the housekeeping of the PPP infrastructure to a new group of enthusiastic caretakers which will look after PPP in 2025.

PrePostPrint wants to gather those working with experimental publishing techniques and to make space for conversations, discussions, exchange, help and action, while documenting the activities, experiments and projects of a community of practices around Free/Libre Open-Source Software (F/LOSS) publishing tools.

Since January 2024, a group of people has been in charge of the PPP infrastructure: the website, its server, the Matrix chat rooms, the e-mail exchanges and the mailing list, the Mastodon account, and any other tool that the group would feel a need to have. PPP maintainers try to meet in person every 6 months and we rotate every two years with a call for new maintainers.

Every rotation follows the same process:

  1. a call to maintainers is published for a month.
  2. When the month is passed, the maintainer’s group is dissolved
  3. We feel that the number of folks needed to maintain shouldn’t be more than 10. If the number of people who want to take part in the maintainer’s group is higher, we propose to use a random choice to select the new maintainer’s group.
  4. The new maintainer’s group are given access to the tools in place, and kick off their time of maintenance.

If you're interested to join the PPP maintainers group, send an email to info@preposprint.org before Friday the 23th of May 2025 (end of the day). If you have any questions about this call, feel free to reach out to us on Matrix (https://matrix.to/#/#prepostprint-public:matrix.org) or by email.
