- 2017: 4-day activist-technical workshop during the Degrowth Summerschool by Petites Singularites (PS) https://ps.zoethical.com/t/welcome-to-p-s/8 :

• C.11 SoftwareFreedomyourwayFree Software for activists
• p.s.: introduces a 4 day course aimed for activists to understand digital free technologies practices, develop autonomous communication environments, and safe habits for online presence.
• This course will include technological practices in collective practices, aiming for sustainable development of independent usages, facilitating the adoption of singular solutions to respond to each participant's specific needs.
• Emphasising that activists maintain their communication environment independent from major corporations, we propose a tool set that can favor solidarity and exchange.
• Digital technologies seem very much antithetical to degrowth: from gigantic mining operations to unsolved waste management, computers and smartphones, and most electronics pose a direct threat to life, and participate fully in the growth economy.  Yet technologies are there now and can be used in ways that empower the trans-individual.  With an adequate understanding, we can use them to accompany and amplify our existing collective practices, acknowledging that adopting a new technology is a a hybridization that modifies our behavior and understanding of the world.
• We will adapt the course to the degrowth environment, among other things availability of electricity and network. Please bring your computers (phones are also computers - but constrained) charged as much as possible we will provide 3g as much as we have and then we will switch to documented exchange op sec playful modelisation of networks. Depending on the conditions we will move from Internet to local networks expanding on similarities and differences between them.
• Day 1 - Why Do We Need Free Technologies?
• Day 2 - Identifying Your Computing Needs
• Day 3 - Free Software Applications and Autonomous Services
• Day 4 - Action : Testing Security Software and Best Practice
• Outcome:
• - Wiki with minutes, ask PS above for access
• - Effective online collaboration and knowledge capture is hard, e.g. mostly email, pads. Little / no wikis, discourse
• - View on technology
•    - Evaluation / discussion with other degrowth workshops
•    - Posters for actionable things for non-techies: visit hackerspaces, radar.squat.net, how to setup website
