Yesterday, we launched the the Protocol Kit, the output of the Summer of Protocols program, and in this ongoing thread over the next couple of weeks, I will be sharing items of the this first module. You can learn all about the kit at https://summerofprotocols.com/kit

Do you work in protocols? Whether it is research, entrepreneurship, art, technology development, or evangelism, the kit should help you elevate your work. We think the physical kit will be especially valuable for those want to do focused, deeper protocol work in 2024. You can request a kit at the link above.

Of course you can access the research online as it is published as well, and attend our Protocol Town Halls to learn more directly from both our researchers and guest speakers (it's a summer program, but with an active off-season calendar).

Today's share from Module 1 is a short graphic novel Re-move by Nahee Kim. It's a visual exploration of an allegory of human forgetting as a disk-access journey. Personally, it's one of my favorite outputs of the summer. Protocol fiction in the most elemental sense.

Second, the first two parts in a related pattern language series by Drew that should be especially fun for Christopher Alexander fans. https://summerofprotocols.com/research/a-protocol-pattern-language-for-urban-space

Today’s share, Protocols in (Emergency) Tine, is an essay by Olivia Steiert that attempts to identify some big theses that cut across Summer of Protocols research. Olivia interviewed the other researchers to tease out protocol temporality aspects.

The kit is a digital/physical open publication, published as a series of 6-modules, each with 10-14 items, under an open license. Physical kits will be mailed out as sets of inserts for a lovely 3-ring binder. A total of 512 kits will be distributed for free to people/orgs at the frontiers of protocol technology.
