Common Time
Activities span from Saturday 05 March, 10:00 to Sunday 06 at 21:30.
There’s a single “track”, so that everyone can take the time to meet each other and share transversal perspectives. This year’s transversal topic is libre hosting—independent hosting of free software services to support the collective agency of the people.
Friday – Early Birds
https://ps.zoethical.org/t/librehosters-meetup/5406 — Libre hosting is a transversal theme that will apply to both main themes on the following days. We take a moment for an informal community meeting and celebration.
