We will analyze the approach to tecnology (decisional method, mesh network and cloud) of a farming community near Bologna: Campi Aperti. Speaking about: human organization, connectivity, managing of a server, resources and incidents handler, femminism, maintaining and growing in a non-gerarchical organization. Technologies involved: humans, antennas, orchestrator of containers.
Summarize the experience of this last 15 years of a group of farmers, the strong political impact about take care of the near territory, decide what grow and what eat and share this decisions with the consumers in the city, settled a method that is called "shared warranty", garanzia partecipata, for the organic vegetables, refuse the big distribution of the food and how this principles, with also some femminist ideas, can bring us to think in a different way our tech organizations and our tools. In the last 3 years the group Campiaperti and Genuino Clandestino, the italian network of self-managed farmers, started to make questions and solution about tecnologies and started slowly to mantain their services.

Das Umweltbundesamt hat in 2012 mit der Forschung der Umweltrelevanz von Software begonnen. Ziel der Forschung war es, die gegenseitige Beeinflussung von Hard- und Software zu erfassen, zu bewerten und geeignete Maßnahmen zu entwickeln, die es ermöglichen, die Inanspruchnahme von natürlichen Ressourcen durch Software zu reduzieren. Im Vortrag wollen Marina Köhn (Umweltbundesamt) und Dr. Eva Kern (Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld) die Messergebnisse aus dem Labor der Forschung präsentieren und die ...

Deep Learning ist von einem Dead End zur ultimativen Lösung aller Machine Learning Probleme geworden - und einiger anderer auch. Aber wie gut ist dieser Trend wirklich? Und wie nachhaltig? Wir setzen uns mit wissenschaftlicher Nachhaltigkeit, sozialen Auswirkungen, und den Folgen für unsere Ressourcen, unseren Energieverbrauch, und damit unseren Planeten auseinander.

Civil society depends on the continuing ability of citizens to communicate with one another, without fear of interference, deprivation or eavesdropping. As the international political climate changes alongside that of our physical climatic environment, we must find ways to create mobile communications systems that are truly resilient and sustainable in the face of such shocks. We have therefore identified a number of freedoms that are required for resilient mobile phones: Energy, Communications, ...
