Il nous arrive d’entendre cette formule : nos politiques ne sont pas à la hauteur. C’est évident dans le cas de l’écologie, puisque rien ou si peu n’est fait par nos gouvernements pour enrayer la machine infernale. Mais leur responsabilité, tout comme celle des multinationales et du fameux 1 %, n’est (presque) plus à prouver. Il existe pourtant d’autres causes, plus discrètes, qui conduisent l’écologie politique à l’échec : celles qui s’enracinent dans son propre camp. Structurellement, l’écologie, fruit de l’environnementalisme, s’est constituée comme une cause des élites. Dès les années 1970, ses militants, les ONG et certains politiques ont fait d’elle un objet de lutte pour privilégiés, morcelable, négociable et, surtout, profitable. Et, ce faisant, ils et elles ont réduit la lutte à une mise en scène, une morale abstraite, éloignée des citoyens et des citoyennes. À l’heure où les extrêmes droites s’organisent partout pour imposer leurs mots d’ordre identitaires et sécuritaires dans l’agenda politique — au détriment des mesures d’intérêt général pour le climat et la biodiversité — et alors que le discours anti-écologiste (*green backlash*) est porté très haut dans l’espace public, il est temps de contre-attaquer. Loin de se limiter à un constat d’échec ou à une distribution de bons et mauvais points sur l’action du mouvement écologiste depuis 50 ans, Clément Sénéchal proposera des pistes de solution pour sortir de cette impasse. Solutions qui devront nécessairement passer par une repolitisation du discours écologique, intégrant la question du traitement des inégalités aussi bien dans les pays industrialisés que dans ceux du Sud global.  Clément Sénéchal est un intellectuel et militant français engagé dans les domaines de l’écologie politique et de la critique sociale. Diplômé en sociologie et en philosophie politique, il a occupé le poste de porte-parole climat au sein d’une grande ONG environnementale pendant plusieurs années. Il est également auteur et chroniqueur, contribuant régulièrement à des publications telles que Reporterre et Frustration Magazine.​ En 2024, il a publié l’essai *Pourquoi l’écologie perd toujours* aux éditions du Seuil (aujourd’hui disponible en poche ), dans lequel il analyse les raisons structurelles de l’échec des stratégies écologistes dominantes. Dans cet ouvrage, aujourd’hui disponible en poche, il critique notamment la proximité entre certaines ONG environnementales et les grandes entreprises, qu’il considère comme un facteur de dilution des luttes écologistes.​ Clément Sénéchal est également actif sur les réseaux sociaux, où il partage ses réflexions sur l’écologie, la politique et les mouvements sociaux. Son parcours illustre un engagement intellectuel et militant en faveur d’une transformation radicale des structures sociales pour répondre aux défis environnementaux contemporains. **Entrée libre** :Nous offrons s un repas (sandwich) et les boissons. **Il est par contre nécessaire de s’inscrire avant le lundi 23 mars** en envoyant un mail à lunchtalk@astm.lu en précisant si vous souhaitez un sandwich végétarien ou traditionnel.

Hallo liebe Java User Group Mitglieder! Diesmal haben wir Thomas Künneth mit seinem Talk zum Thema "**Climbing the Codeberg - Some Developer's Thoughts on Leaving GitHub**" zu Gast. Wir freuen uns euch zu sehen (virtuell oder vor Ort). * 17:45 Uhr: Einlass * 18:15 Uhr: Talk * ab 19:00: Ausklang des Abends Dank an [codecamp:n](https://www.codecamp-n.com/) für Location, Bier und Pizza! \-\-\- As developers increasingly prioritize privacy, digital sovereignty, and true open-source values, many are questioning their reliance on corporate-owned platforms like GitHub. Enter Codeberg—a community-driven, non-profit Git hosting platform funded by donations and powered by Forgejo. But is the grass really greener, and how difficult is the transition? In "Climbing the Codeberg," we’ll explore both the philosophical motivations and the practical realities of leaving GitHub. Walking through a firsthand developer's journey, this talk will guide you through the process of establishing your code’s new home and taking back control of your workflow. In this session, we will cover: * The "Why": Understanding the fundamental differences in philosophy and legal structure between a corporate-owned giant and a non-profit, community-led alternative like Codeberg. * Safe Migration Strategies: Step-by-step insights on migrating repositories (including metadata like issues and releases), proving your identity via Mastodon, and utilizing "tombstoning" techniques to avoid critical security risks like namespace hijacking on your old GitHub account. * Restoring Automation: Leaving GitHub doesn't mean leaving CI/CD behind. We'll dive into leveling up your new environment by setting up local Codeberg Actions runners, exploring both containerized (Docker) approaches and host-level (act_runner) configurations for architectures like Apple Silicon. Whether you are ready to make the full leap to a community-owned forge or simply want to explore what true digital sovereignty looks like, this session will equip you with the tools, commands, and insights needed to successfully summit the Codeberg. \-\-\- Dein Vortrag bei der Java Usergroup Nürnberg! Hast du dich in letzter Zeit in deinem Projekt oder privat mit einem interessanten Thema beschäftigt? Vermutlich ist das nicht nur für dich selbst interessant! Hast du Lust, selber einmal einen Vortrag bei der Java-Usergroup Nürnberg zu halten? Wir sind nicht nur auf Java-Themen fokussiert, sondern beschäftigen uns gern mit und um alles über Software Entwicklung und IT. Wir wollen bei der JUG nicht nur bekannten Speaker\*innen eine Plattform geben und die neuesten State-of-the-Art Technologien vorstellen. Wir freuen uns auch besonders, wenn wir Themen aus unserem technologischen (Arbeits-)alltag Raum geben zu können. Melde dich gerne bei uns, wenn du dazu Lust hast, wir geben wenn gewünscht gerne auch Hilfestellung bei der Vorbereitung!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
