Special announcement: We're having a theory-focused event next week at @offline 🤓️📖

We've been using the term "emancipatory computing" for some time, but we don't have a firm definition for it so far. We finally want to change that!

@swick will give a talk with some background, and then we'll have an open discussion on the topic.

Tuesday, November 3

We're doing another special event later this year in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony! Thanks to @razze and the local hackspace crew for organizing 💚

We'll probably have a focus on Flathub, Bazaar, GNOME OS, and related stuff, but any other of the usual topics including mobile, local-first, UX, etc. are of course welcome.

November 28-29
AStA of University Osnabrück, Alte Münze 12
