Technology experts and ecologists join forces in the Bits & Bäume
|
|
('Bits and Trees') conference in October 2022 in Berlin. This year
|
|
the FSFE is part of its organising committee. We look for exciting
|
|
talks and insights about how Free Software can help realising a
|
|
sustainable digital society. Share your expertise and apply until 7
|
|
June.

|
In the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) we want to empower
|
|
users to control technology. This is a necessity for a free society
|
|
but it is also fundamental for a more just and sustainable society.
|
|
With Free Software we can keep maintaining programs and prevent
|
|
software obsolescence. Using Free Software, we can repair and
|
|
repurpose hardware, extending its lifetime and saving natural
|
|
resources. It is only with Free Software that we can build long
|
|
lasting and sustainable IT infrastructures.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Free Software relates to ecological sustainability. Last year, we
|
|
<a href="/freesoftware/sustainability/sustainability.html">published a study</a> on the topic and we put theory into action by encouraging
|
|
users to <a href="https://upcyclingandroid.org">upcycle their Androids</a> with Free Software operating systems. This year we
|
|
joined the organising committee of the Bits & Bäume 2022, a
|
|
prominent conference on digitisation and sustainability but also a
|
|
movement.

On 30 September <a href="https://bits-und-baeume.org">Bits &
|
|
Bäume 2022</a> is starting its three-day conference. <a href="https://pretalx.com/bitsundbaeume/cfp">Environmental
|
|
activists, technical experts and human rights activists are invited
|
|
to contribute</a>. The FSFE particularly encourages you to give
|
|
talks about sustainable solutions involving Free Software.
|
|
<strong>The key questions of this year's conference
|
|
are</strong>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
How should digitisation be shaped in a way that it contributes to a
|
|
sustainable and democratic transformation of our society?
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
What does a globally, economically, socially and ecologically just
|
|
future look like in the digitalised world?
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
What can the tech community (bits) and the justice and
|
|
environmental movement (bäume) learn from each other? And how can
|
|
those communities get in touch with social-ecological pioneer
|
|
companies, science and politics?
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
How can we become politically active together?
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
