Nel frattempo c'è spazio per domande e risposte che riguardano la scrittura della memoria flash e anche un'introduzione a un mondo in pieno Software Libero usando F-Droid e microG.
Il workshop si tiene sabato 10 dicembre 2022 dalle 11:30 alle 14:30 nella WerkRaum della biblioteca Pablo Neruda library a Berlino, Frankfurter Allee 14A, 10247 Berlino.

Ogni anno vengono prodotti in tutto il mondo 1,5 miliardi di smartphone e vengono spesso buttati via dopo un tempo di utilizzo troppo breve. Se continuassimo ad utilizzare il nostro attuale telefono invece di comprarne uno nuovo, aiuteremmo a prevenire l'aumento dei rifiuti elettronici. E se solo un terzo delle persone usasse il proprio telefono un anno in più potremmo risparmiare il materiale grezzo per la produzione di 100 milioni di telefoni all'anno.
Questo workshop mette insieme appassionati di tecnologia e appassionati di sostenibilità per capire come far durare più a lungo i telefoni ricondizionati (flashati) con sistemi operativi composti da Software Libero. Ci sarà un breve discorso introduttivo sulla relazione tra la vita di utilizzo dell'hardware e il software, seguita da una sessione di riscrittura della flash su un telefono campione. Alla fine e durante il workshop risponderemo alle domande che riguardano la scrittura della memoria flash e ci sarà la possibilità di sperimentare su telefoni campione. Il workshop è inserito nel contesto del FifFKon, sabato 22.10.2022, dalle 15:00 alle 16:00 all'Archenhold-Sternenwarte a Berlino.

"Upcyling Android" is an initiative to overcome software obsolescence and to extend the lifespan of our hardware with the help of Free Software.

Every year there are Veganmania summer festivals in Vienna. It is already a tradition that the local FSFE team takes part with an information stall. It usually is very well visited and reaches many people who aren't yet aware of free software and the ethical considerations that come with it. The Veganmania has been proven to be the best event by far in Vienna to inform many new people about software ethics because it is visited by people already used to think outside the box.
The event takes place from 26th to 28th at "Leuchtturmwiese" on the "Donauinsel" in Vienna. Thousands of people usually come there to enjoy good food, sustainable products, interesting information stalls ... and of course the summer. There is no entry fee and people are invited to come at any time from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. Please drop by in case you want to talk about free software with us! If you want to read about earlier information stalls on this annual event, check out: https://blogs.fsfe.org/franz.gratzer/

More information can be found on the wiki. At the meetings we abide by the FSFE Code of Conduct.

Il 14 febbraio di ogni anno, persone di tutto il mondo festeggiano la giornata “Io amo il Software Libero”. In questa giornata mostriamo il nostro amore per il Software Libero e ringraziamo tutte le persone che contribuiscono alla libertà del software. Quest'anno stiamo organizzando un intero evento dedicato ai giochi rilasciati come Software Libero. L'evento sarà online il 14 febbraio 2022 dalle 18:00 alle 20:00 CET. Per la prima parte del nostro evento, tre nostri ospiti esperti in giochi rilasciati come Software Libero, motori di gioco e sessioni di gioco condivideranno le loro esperienze, e saremo immersi nel mondo dei giochi di Software Libero. Il link per il flusso è stream.fsfe.org. Dopo questo, ti invitiamo a giocare a Veloren insieme a noi.

Il prossimo incontro online della FSFE dei Paesi Bassi è stato spostato al 26 gennaio. L'incontro sarà dalle 20:00 fino alle 21:00 CEST utilizzando il server delle conferenze.
