Opt Green: Coordinating a Windows 10-to-Linux upcycling campaign across Free Software communities worldwide
Windows 10 security updates end on 14 October 2025, KDE's 29th birthday and also, ironically, International E-Waste Day [1] (you cannot make these things up!). Hundreds of millions of functioning devices [2] will become e-waste. This means manufacturing and transporting new ones, which is perhaps the biggest waste of all: hardware production alone can account for over 75% of a device's CO2 emissions over its lifespan.

Let's coordinate a global Free Software campaign over the next year to raise awareness about the environmental harm of Windows 10 end-of-life, while upgrading users from Windows to GNU/Linux directly.fahrplan.alpaka.space
Kommenden Samstag, 30. November 2024 werden wir von der Berliner Gruppe der @Free Software Foundation Europe zwischen 10:30 und 14:30 Uhr im WerkRaum der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Pablo Neruda (Frankfurter Allee 14A, 10247 Berlin) einen Upcycling Android Workshop anbieten.
Mit Upcycling Android zeigt die Free Software Foundation Europe auf, wie mit Hilfe der Installation Freier Software Betriebssysteme Telefone durch Flashen länger genutzt werden können. Gemeinsam Flashen wir mit Ihnen Beispieltelefone und werden zudem Telefone bereitstellen, an denen das Freie Software Betriebessysteme ausprobiert werden kann. Währenddessen beantworten wir Fragen rund ums Flashen und zeigen mit F-Droid und microG zudem eine Welt voller Freier Software auf.
Alle Informationen zum Workshop sind auch auf berlin.de auf den Seiten der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Pablo Neruda zu finden.
