What weâre about
This group is for anyone interested in open source software and hardware. We aim to encourage self-hosting of services to contribute to a better, more decentralised Internet.
We plan to run regular meetups to discuss all aspects of open source from modern federated services and approaches to open standards for communication.
We also aim to run regular informal sessions to teach basic server administration, command line usage, hosting basic services web servers as well as Mastodon or PeerTube and showcase some of the latest developments in open source.
