By means of 'free and real familymembership', travelling and through a telæthrionic media-department (!)
Their website is as impressive as their ethos to create this small piece of paradise: in seven European languages, though most of their activities are -quite logically- in the local language Greek -> ελληνικά

However, on Spanish ground they've been squatting a piece of land with putting up tents. In their own words: It will be creating new & deploying existing free technology, theory and art. The goal is to create a functional technological and behavioural recipe/typology (a "lifestyle infrastructure") for a free, post-capitalist society. A lot of work has already been done by the hackbase, and by other people & projects. Everybody is welcome + it's really cheap.
