BDS for software engineers for Palestine 🇵🇸
Details
Big tech like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon support the genocide of Palestinians.
It's so difficult for us software engineers to find equally good alternatives for crucial things like devops.
I have no solution. In this session I would like for us to research and think about whether or not there are solutions, and if not, can we build our way out of this situation?
For instance, we want to know if the other platforms like Linode, Digital Ocean, Hetzner, GitLab, etc, are ok to use (Linode is apparently not ok). If they're not, then is it reasonable to attempt building a managed k8s service that uses EU-based VPS providers to make it easier for devs to BDS? Even if we do that, how can we sure EU-based providers aren't supporting genocide? Is it still a feasible strategy regardless?
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!
