== Purpose ==<br />
The parallel society already exists. It is a food bank in Ibadan, a node running behind a hotel router in Prague, a permissionless school under a tree in Delhi, activists in Benin City raising money to pay for a member’s health treatment, and a developer in Los Angeles compiling a messaging node from source.<br />
<br />
Local Area Network is the record where these smaller stories are remembered, and the bigger story told. From the many, one.<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
LAN is the Logos movement’s record of itself: what our activists are building, who they are helping, what they are running, what they are inspired by, and what they are learning on the way. It functions as a mirror: we collect the best of these experiences to create a shared image of ourselves.<br />
<br />
A piece is fit for LAN if it:<br />
* Highlights a win, a lesson, or a story from a Logos Circle, its activists or community.<br />
* Showcases an improvement, update or novel use of Logos technology.<br />
* Explains how relevant systems work: both those we are building and those we are exiting.<br />
* Is a relevant development in the categories of parallel infrastructure, economy, education, action, or culture.<br />
* Is on the cultural edge of technology, the internet, politics and philosophy.<br />
<br />
== From the editors ==<br />
This publication takes direct inspiration from the seminal Whole Earth Catalog by Stewart Brand. Published between 1968 and 1972, it was a highly functional access to tools guide to empower individual autonomy in the face of big government, big business and other orthodoxies.<br />
<br />
The WEC brought together co-curated products and ideas by and for a varied mix of innovators and iconoclasts. Computer hackers, hippies, alternative designers, architects, builders and environmentalists who shared a countercultural view of learning, building, organising and thinking.<br />
<br />
This publication shares the same spirit: from a diverse crowd living in different geographies and working in different fields, a common vision emerges.<br />
<br />
