<h2>WHAT IS A COMPUTER CLUB?</h2>
<p>a computer club is where a group of people hang out and do computer together</p>

<p>doing computer is whatever you want...on computers, together. our bias is towards programming and diy shared computing infrastructure. but there's also art and music and rad data science and circuit-bending and a million other things we don't know about</p>
<h2>WHY SHOULD I START A COMPUTER CLUB?</h2>
<p>the political economy of computing is awful. have you read <a href="https://bookwyrm.social/book/525851/s/palo-alto">Palo Alto</a>? me neither. we should read it. we deserve better than the DARPA-funded visions of Xerox PARC.</p>

<li>talk about what used to excite you about doing computer. talk about how the political economy of computing could be better. talk about these things publicly. the computer club might already be breathing in the communities you're in</li>
<li>attend preexisting computing meetups and find like-minded people. meetups about "how to node.js apolitically" are sidelining people who would prefer "how to node.js pro-socially". don't try to be a recruiter -- just be excited at events and find people who are also excited</li>
<li>does your city have a food coop? food coops and computer clubs have a similar ethos; and food coops are a great place to get your food for the same reasons that a computer club is a great place to do computer. make friends at your food coop and find the computer-doers</li>
