Supported by Migros Kulturprozent, Bundesamt für Kultur (Swiss Design 2003) microbuilder presents all the accumulated knowledge and the years of work which made micromusic.net – the first 8-bit and low-tech music Internet community platform – an interactive, creative and vivid community on a high level. The microbuilder package is interesting for all those people who want to build their own community platform and read about what the micromusic.net team was doing in the last ten year to build up, extend and run their system and community. The microbuilder package offers all you need for creating an internet community successfully.
The software can be installed easily, you learn quickly how to operate the system and the package is simple to adapt and extend. In the book you can browse through the history of Internet communities, the process of building up micromusic.net and other online projects. Illustrations and graphic art work from micromusic.net artists will give you a lasting visual impression and the installation guide makes the software installation process as quick-and-easy as possible. And of course you can listen to the included audio CD while wearing one of the included buttons on your microbuilder t-shirt. All of it is wrapped up in a design price awarded box (Swiss Design 2003 Award winner).
