The presentation of the book of Agnese Trocchi "Internet, mon amour" will take place on Saturday, 8 June 2024, 4pm, Mariannenplatz 2a (New Yorck). The Eclectic Tech Carnival (/ETC) is a gathering of feminists who critically explore and develop everyday skills and information technologies in the context of free and open source software and hardware. Events are organised autonomously by local groups. The defining characteristics of an /ETC are: skill sharing, with free and open-source technology, FLINTA* only workshops and do-it-yourself. This year the theme of the gathering is Furious & Curious. Agnese Trocchi will present Internet, Mon Amour on Saturday, 8 June 2024, 4.30pm, Mariannenplatz 2a (New Yorck). Full program to be released here: https://eclectictechcarnival.org/.

June 9th in Berlin we will moderate the Disruption Network Lab's meetup "Fighting Technologies of Domination from decentralised event platforms to the right to analogue." During the meetup we will discuss the right to analogue with Roberta Barone (AI Ethics and Governance Expert and Advocate, IT/DE). After the discussion there will be a hands-on session with Balotta Collective to delve deeper into the exploration of Gancio, a free open-source software designed for event publishing. During the workshop we will use the website Balotta.org as a case study to show how Gancio can be implemented and used for and by local organisations. Balotta.org is a shared calendar for the city of Bologna, Italy. We will look at the political reasons for its creation and how these have evolved over time, as well as explaining our moderation process and the decision to print a paper version. We will describe Gancio's interface, including submitting an event as an anonymous user and browsing the admin dashboard. To learn more and register check the event on the Disruption Network Lab website. The event is a warmup for Hackmeeting

Quest'anno presso il CSOA Angelina Cartella, Gallico Marina, Reggio Calabria dal 7-10 settembre 2023. locandina_web [/images/l/o/c/a/n/locandinaweb-082a8754.jpg] L’hackmeeting è l’incontro annuale delle controculture digitali italiane, di quelle comunità che si pongono in maniera critica rispetto ai meccanismi di sviluppo delle tecnologie all’interno della nostra società. Ma non solo, molto di più. Lo sussuriamo nel tuo orecchio e soltanto nel tuo, non devi dirlo a nessuno: l’hackit è solo per hackers, ovvero per chi vuole gestirsi la vita come preferisce e sa s/battersi per farlo. Anche se non ha mai visto un computer in vita sua. Tutte le informazioni sul programma qui: https://www.hackmeeting.org/hackit23/
