Nodes of Resistance starting soon! 30 September, 6:30pm at Tempelhofer Ufer 23/24
Kicking off with: Is there technology without extractivism? @tarakiyee will provide an input and we will break into smaller groups to hear from and exchange ideas with groups involved in fighting extractivism on the ground: chip factories in Dresden, copper mines in Eastern Germany and cobalt mines in Congo. What are strategies to reduce or radically rethink Big Tech’s destructive footprint on our world?

We look forward to seeing you there!
You can also already save the date for the second event on November 7 (all-day) with citizen initiatives and an input from @aufstaendederallmende
There will be a lot of action on that weekend, with a Europe-wide push against the current data centre agenda and also local ways of getting involved, check out the German Tag der offenen Rechenzentren on 6 November: https://tdorz.de/ and stay tuned!

If you cannot wait until the 30, you can find out more about the link between FLOSS and global extractivism. @tarakiyee wrote for @APC: https://giswatch.org/en/floss-freelibre-open-source-software-open-source-technology/funding-floss-power-governance-and
"Whether FLOSS can deliver on its transformative promise at all, or whether that promise turns out to be an empty husk that only serves to legitimatise continued extraction, remains to be seen. The answer depends not on the goodwill of those who benefit from the status quo, but rather on the organising power of those who do not."
