SearchWing is a non-profit organization that develops & builds open source drones and bring them into operation with search and rescue NGOs like Mission Lifeline & Sea-Eye on the deadly south european boarder to find people in distress.
After 6 years of the existence of SearchWing and its last presentation at 33c3 we want to give you an update on our past and current work.
SearchWing develops & builds open source drones to locate people in distress at sea. We are an independent non-profit organization of equal volunteers and we do not share our drones and sensitive technology with third parties whose goals are incompatible with SearchWing's. The currently focused use of drones in the Mediterranean is due to the humanitarian catastrophe that is raging there. Sea rescue in the Mediterranean is only combating a symptom of Europe's isolation which is strengthened by latest worsening of asylum rights.
After 6 years of the existence of SearchWing and its last presentation at 33c3 we want to give you a update on our past and current work and missions we did with NGOs such as Sea-Eye, Mission Lifeline and RESQSHIP. Further we want to show why its hard to build a waterproof drone and why its hard to reliably operate drones at sea. And of course we will present some evidence in pictures of our hardships (exploded parts, burned ESCs, crashed drones etc.).

Humanitären Prinzipien fungieren in der internationalen Not- und Katastrophenhilfe als Leitplanke. Sie sollen die Arbeit von NGOs (non-governmental organizations) unterstützen, und gleichzeitig Hilfesuchende schützen. Doch was bedeutet es eigentlich, sich an Prinzipien wie das der Neutralität zu halten? Etwa Schweigen, wenn offensichtlich Menschenrechte verletzt werden? Oder können humanitäre Prinzipien dabei helfen, eine kritische Haltung einzunehmen? Und wie schwer ist eigentlich die ...

## What Play a round of our FOSS funding programme with us and test our new focus "sufficiency". Since 2020, we support open source public-interest-tech projects in Switzerland with [our Prototype Fund](https://prototypefund.opendata.ch/). ## Why Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, sufficiency and systemic innovation must also play a central role in the context of digitalisation. From 2023/24 onwards, we will therefore fund two projects per year in the field of "sufficiency" to ...

We can replace the operating system of an Android phone when we have the necessary hardware drivers. Using NixOS as the operating system allows us to reliably recompile most of the modern software that we rely on for the mobile operating system to get the benefits of using real applications instead of just the limited capabilities of mobile apps. For example, programs like databases, webservices, CAD, compilers, image processing can run natively on the phone when you get rid of the Android ...
