Call to #hackerspaces & #makerspaces around the world, lets join forces!

Hi. I make #OpenSource smart #thermostats that don't spy on you. I don't ship internationally for two reasons: financial cost and environmental cost. I'd like to join a network of Makerspaces to have them be produced regionally so people outside of America can get a pre-made unit.

Does this network already exist? If so, how do I join? If it doesn't exist, would you like to help build it?

I discuss why Australian public libraries should be expanding their makerspace services (like in the Netherlands) - not contracting them.

Episode 5.8: Tech and the Global South with Star Ngei

In this episode, Christina talks with Star Ngei, a maker/hacker who helps raise awareness of Global South technology and innovation through the NGO Global Innovation Gathering (GIG), which hosts a network of makers and makerspaces throughout the Global South. Although it’s hard to generalize across a space as culturally, politically, economically, and geographically diverse as the Global South, Christina and Star discuss how the access of people in the Global South to tech is limited compared to that of people in the Global North and so they have a more creative, non-linear approach to technology. They’re far more open to modifying a piece (or pieces) of technology to fit their specific needs, rather than just using it as it comes out of the box and merely specifically for its intended use. Christina and Star also talk about climate change and what the Global North can learn from the Global South in terms of dealing with it. Lastly, they talk about building community and how, if you’re interested in working to decrease global inequality by helping people in the Global South, the best place to start is by striking up a relationship with a community there first. Unless you want your efforts to be a waste of your time, their time, and resources, don’t just give a group of people in the Global South what you think they need, find out what they think they would find useful.

It was interesting to see EPIC Innovation in Christchurch. It was initially established as an early disaster recovery project to house local Canterbury businesses displaced by the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The public-private partnership has since evolved into a collaborative innovation ecosystem, with a range of tenants and visitors https://epicinnovation.co.nz/ #innovationspaces #Nzpol #disasterrecovery #innovation #makerspaces

Who else is coming to the Festival of Commoning? A celebration of people acting together to build #commons of all kinds. I’m excited to meet others who are creating + propagating useful local stuff especially #makerspaces, infrastructure, market gardens like https://www.cofarm.co/, etc, and of course more technical #coops ;)

Just 3 weeks to go, and there's still tickets available

Nicht vergessen, Morgen findet ab 13:12 das Soundspace im ZTL statt! Elektromusik Live Jam Session, Geräte Flohmarkt und Vorträge am Tag der Elektro-Akustik im Space. Es wird sicherlich fantastisch! Infos auch unter https://ztl.space/soundspace/

Updating the repurposed and recycled computers at the #makerspace to #Ubuntu2404. One done, 23 installs to go
#linux #foss #STEM #makerspaces

Ihr mögt Elektromusik und habt am 09.05. Zeit? Da haben wir doch was für euch! Kommt ins ZTL, dort gibt es einen Geräte Flohmarkt, Vorträge und natürlich Live Jam Sessions am Tag der Elektro-Akustik im Space.

@Poettchen Manche #Makerspaces haben das entsprechende Knowhow und Equipment und bieten Schmiede-Workshops an. Kein Praktikum in dem Sinne, aber vielleicht findet sich darüber jemand, der Lust auf eine individuelle mehrtägige Einführung hat. Vielleicht mal auf blöd bei den in Frage kommenden Spaces anfragen? In der Ecke kenne ich niemanden, woanders würden mir Kandidaten einfallen denen das Spaß machen könnte.

Am 14. April tauchen wir mit Vivian, Gründerin von BAGS & PIECES, gemeinsam in die Welt der Lederverarbeitung ein. Sie ist Profi auf dem Gebiet der Lederverarbeitung und unterstützt an diesem Tag bei der Fertigung individueller Ledersandalen und gibt wertvolle Tipps
