What we’re about
You ever go to demonstrations but always end up awkward on the sidelines because you don't know anyone so you leave after 5 min and never ever go again?
For is an experiment in imagining up a community. For is for Palestine, Tigray, Ukraine, Myanmar, Georgia, the Uyghurs, etc.
For is founded on the idea that strength is built from soft things. A cup of tea, sharing a meal, knitting together, asking for directions.
It starts small. It remains small. It seeks only to introduce kindred to kindred and nothing more.
Its method will become clearer as we go along. It's all experimental. There is no certainty.
Caveat
tbh i have no idea how to do this because noise and crowd affect me very badly. and i have no headspace or energy for this. so. please text me if you wanna chip in, especially if you have a kitchen or an art studio. i got ideas 😉. otherwise, let's see how this pans out.
Request
Please do not rate this group and its meetups. Ratings discourage experimentation free of judgment. If you want to rate, always rate zero stars. Thanks.
Upcoming events (1)
See all- Hackathon for Palestine 🇵🇸Humlegården Park, Stockholm
The title is clickbaity. Sorry. I do want a hackathon at some point, but this is more to meet each other than anything. Read on for details.
I want to create a managed k8s service that uses EU-based VPS providers to make it easier for devs to boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) the Big USA Tech companies that support genocide. But it's really lonely hacking away alone. So I thought, maybe other people have ideas they wanna work on too. Wouldn't it be great to make a community?
So I'm creating this event.
It's more of an excuse to meet each other. We can talk ideas but we can also spend some time hacking.
No organisation is sponsoring or supporting this event. It's just me trying to do something and hoping people will join me.
Sibling events
If you're not based in Stockholm and want to create sibling events for this in your city, text me! We can list each others' events. It'd be cool.
Venue
We can do this either remotely or in person.
If remote, text me directly and let me know you wanna chat. we can use whatever platform. signal, discord, etc.
If in person: usually few or nobody comes. So, because I don't want to make a wasted trip, please do not just register on meetup. If you are really, really coming, text me directly to tell me. Then we can figure out a venue. I will come out if at least one person wants to do this. Else I will be lazing comfortably at home, thank you very much.
Hope to see you!
