This part of the Catalog was born on rosa, a small yet significant feminist server that travelled to six communities in different European cities in 2022, as part of the project *A Traversal Network of Feminist Servers* (ATNOFS). rosa’s Ecofeminist Dictionary (rED) is the result of many conversations I had with those who have logged in and out of rosa that year.

During the year, six physical meetings were held, called “chapters,” which were documented on rosa. A web-to-print ecosystem of custom open source tools, created by Varia, were used to turn this documentation into one final publication[^atnofs].
-While I was collecting terms for the Catalog, it struck me that the naming of things... is a very male dominated space [^gads]. Conversations about this topic happened in the terms of a rather homogeneous demographic. However beautiful the wording, the lack of diversity was painful. When Wendy van Wynsberghe from *Constant* tagged me in a message on Mastodon about a call for proposals, I decided to join what would later become ATNOFS, to find out what the practices around feminist servers have to say about a smaller environmental footprint and to find out if there is such a thing as an ecofeminist server.

I traversed each chapter – hypha (RO)[^hyp2], Feminist Hack Meetings (GR)[^fhm], esc medien kunst labor (AT)[^esc], Varia (NL)[^vari], Constant (BE)[^cons] and LURK (NL/UK)[^lurk] - with this focus, picking up on different threads throughout the project. Towards the end, I asked each community to suggest a term that could reflect their practice. Not as an act of territoriality, of coining a word, but as an attempt to deterritorialise the language around sustainability and Information and Communication Technology (ICT), to speak about it in our own words. This attention to language and wordings was a common thread throughout the project, a (re)claiming of space by (re)naming, speaking in and on our own terms with each other when logged on rosa.
