 Email Notifier | Vesna Manojlovic <becha@xs4all.nl> [hackerspaces] RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund : two days left to apply!! View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/e7d14081-b83d-4ea7-bb84-c3ab5133afe9 If you are quick, and if your project is "for the good of the Internet", you might get lucky & get the funding this year: https://ripe.net/cpf apply before end of 7th August! (sorry for the short notice) Any questions -> cpf@ripe.net Good luck! Vesna video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRiww-FC0Uc&t=14196s long version: For the sixth year in a row, the RIPE NCC is committing to support activities and projects for 'the good of the Internet'. We are pleased to invite applications for funding from the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund. Through the Community Projects Fund, the RIPE NCC distributes up to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation, resilience and sustainability of the Internet, with a focus on tools and services benefitting the technical community in the Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia The RIPE NCC has supported a range of projects and innovative ideas over its 25-year history, and we are now formalising these efforts through the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund. We know there's no shortage of brilliant minds in the Internet technical community working on groundbreaking projects, but securing funding to support these projects can be challenging. Call for Applications If you or your organisation is working on a new or existing project that fits these criteria and needs some financial support to get it off the ground or keep it going, we want to hear from you. In your application form, you will be asked to describe your project, provide the amount of funding you'll need and how it will be spent, and give a detailed explanation of how your project benefits the Internet. The application deadline is Sunday, 7 August at 23:59 (UTC+2). The idea behind the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund was originally proposed to RIPE NCC members as a potential "good of the Internet" initiative during the RIPE NCC General Meeting November 2014 and received initial support at that time. It received further support in subsequent years and is included in the RIPE NCC Activity Plan and Budget for each year that a call for applications is issued. Funding details A project can be funded more than once There is no minimum amount of funding that must be disbursed each year There is no limit on the number of projects that can be funded per year Funding may be used to purchase equipment, but this cannot be the sole expenditure Funding cannot be used for humanitarian aid, donations, or to encourage political reform Funding cannot be used to provide scholarships or cover tuition fees Funding cannot be used to support any form of commercial activity (etc) | 12:29:36 |

 deknos82 | hey, are "Offene Werkstätten" also considered Hacker/Makerspaces? Apparently, there are spaces popping up in germany and i am a bit confused, how this overlaps with the "traditional" spaces: https://www.offene-werkstaetten.org/de | 07:51:15 |

I firmly believe that a sustainable hackerspace should hide in its little bubble, but needs to interact with society. A lot of us are convinced that the four freedoms of Free, Libre and Open Source have bettered society in many ways. We also see walled gardens popping up more and more eating away our freedoms. A few years ago, we had SFD on hundreds of locations all over the world. The last few years, COVID has eaten all these activities... Today I would like to challenge you all to celebrate Software Freedom Day in September. I'll elaborate on the Why and the How down here (just my opinions - not dogma)... Why? 1. Technical people already use (FL)OSS more than they are often aware of. I'm thinking of free tools, but certainly also free libraries that other technology is built on. Often liberal licenses like MIT end up becoming invisible (but that's the choice of the licensor so who am I to discuss it)? 2. Given that more and more applications nowadays have a cloud component, it will become increasingly important to educate a wider audience of the choices and tradeoffs they make. Where the typical hacker congresses (CCC & the likes) will focus on unveiling hidden connections and how they (inter)act, Software Freedom Day will be less technical but can also touch the same conclusions. 3. It's a great opportunity to get in touch with other like minded groups in your area (I'm thinking LUG's, JUGs, Python groups, OpenStreetmap groups, Repair cafés, ...) to team up and build a network around your physical area. You might be surprised what's already out there. How? Meh... I'd say: KISS. Whatever you like to do. Just a few ideas... * Workshops on how to use free software * Talks, debates, ... on how to switch to NextCloud, OpenStreetmap, LibreOffice, Inkscape, ... * Linux Install Party * How to set up a Pi-hole in your home. * Online streaming of a rant or tutorial * Barbecue with free software and affordable beers * Organize a little layman's CTF (Juice shop) and own the hacker cliché * ... You could have a look at the Software Freedom Wiki to get some inspiration. If you register your event , it will appear on the website too, and we'll be promoting it a bit more actively through other social media channels. We're also reaching out to sponsors in the open source community and will be handing out prizes to teams who are exceptional on a specific field (e.g. MuseScore will be giving a year subscription to their online platform that complements their FOSS software). If you have any questions (or want to help organize the global event), don't hesitate to pop in to our Matrix channel ! Full disclosure, I'm part of the team organizing Software Freedom Day globally and would like to spark a new fire to the event (I'm not paid or professionally connected in any way though). Hope to hear from you all! Greetings, Jurgen | 08:37:36 |

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I didn't know about this day until now. I looked at the wiki and was trying to find any swedish team from the previous years but had to go back to 2011-2015 to find any. It looks like there were a lot of interest in the first half of 2010s (70-90 countries or so) and then dropped off from there quite a bit. I'm guessing covid had a lot to do with this but it started dropping even before 2019-2020. Any idea why that is? Will register a swedish team in my city and we'll see what happens.

There's a long history here. In the period 2004-2010, internet wasn't prevalent at all (let alone broadband internet). Handing out CD's with a bunch of FOSS software was a main motivator to organize these events. At the bottom of the about-page here , you can find some history about TheOpenCD project that was part of the inception. Indeed, around 2008 there were close to 600 groups organizing Software Freedom Day. Bejing LUG did a hell of job back then making packages with swag that got sent around the world. These contained some T-shirts, a banner, a bunch of balloons and stickers and also a stack of CD's (I still remember getting an Ubuntu Ship-it CD for 14.04 back in the days). So there are practical changes (availability software through online channels, no more swag), but I also see ideological changes. Talking for Belgium - I saw a big shift from "Open Source" to "Open Standards" (which is an important downgrade imo) and from innocuous (aka viral) licenses to permissive licenses... serving the developers (and companies) rather than the users. Big tech companies successfully succeeded marketing FOSS as being irrelevant because "less free" and using negative terminology like "viral licensing". Now we're with a new team of volunteers putting our shoulders under SFD (and the Digital Freedom Foundation in general, which also has Hardware Freedom Day, Document Freedom Day and Education Freedom Day). For this year the focus is on getting up and running again. Going onwards, we're look to streamline our tools and legal structures again. I like to dream big, and hope that one day we'll be able to actually support local groups with (physical and/or virtual) swag to empower groups. Also reaching out to companies engaged in FOSS software and ask them for prizes for teams winning in a given category. So the positive is: it's easier to grow again. The team that had to take over the previous board, had a way much bigger challenge: they had to fill some really big shoes. If you like to help think about reshaping Software Freedom Day (and the other events), don't hesitate to join us on the Matrix channel :D Grtz, Jurgen Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.hackerspaces.org https://lists.hackerspaces.org/listinfo/discuss | 13:57:03 |

| Email Notifier | Nathaniel Bezanson <myself@telcodata.us> [hackerspaces] understaing some hackerspace history View this message online at https://email.t2bot.io/m/b900eb31-8e6f-4cd8-8b6b-17c42f6c520d Hi all, I'm putting together a presentation to welcome i3Detroit's new members and explain some deeper background of the larger phenomenon that they're now part of -- I've come to understand that quite a few folks don't realize the *kerspace thing goes back decades at this point. And as I put together the story, I have a few gaps myself: 1: All the early material I can find (HOPE 2004 Building Hackerspaces talk, for instance, or Spacerogue's book) talks about hackerspaces as places with computers and maybe soldering equipment. When and where did the expansion to more tools take place? What spaces were some of the earliest to add oscilloscopes, for instance? How about non-electronics-related tools like woodworking or welding? (I'm not trying to establish "the first" of anything, but understand when the shift took hold.) 2: In the recent Hackaday podcast https://hackaday.com/2023/08/25/hackaday-podcast-233-chandrayaan-on-the-moon-cyberdecks-hackerspaces-born-at-a-german-computer-camp/ (https://hackaday.com/2023/08/25/hackaday-podcast-233-chandrayaan-on-the-moon-cyberdecks-hackerspaces-born-at-a-german-computer-camp/) around the 39m30s mark, Jens mentions a move by then-East-Germany to allocate a fraction of state-owned buildings to culture, before turning everything loose in a market economy, as the reason C-base exists how and where it does. Where can I learn more about this legislation/allocation? How did the timing work? That would've been a 1989/1990 thing, but C-base gives its founding date as 1995. If there are other good overview resources that go over the pre-2009 (I think the Wired article marks an epoch) history, I'm all ears for those as well. I ran across Monochrom's "hacking the spaces" but it's a little light on details. Thanks in advance, | 21:38:07 |
