SUMMARY:Naarm Solarpunk Meetup
LOCATION:Balam Balam Place
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 27% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nMerri-bek Tech\, a group in the inner northern suburbs of
  Naarm (Melbourne)\, invites everyone involved interested in tinkering wit
 h grass-roots technologies in support of a Sustainable\, Resilient and Jus
 t future - to join us for the Naarm Solarpunk Meetup in a new location in 
 Carlton. This time we are meeting on the Mezzanine Level at Melbourne Conn
 ect\, 700 Swanston St. More details below.\n\nFollowing on from our worksh
 op in July we will be doing some hands-on hacking as well as welcoming eve
 ryone who wants to talk further about getting involved in the group or fin
 ding out more about positive\, grassroots tech futures.\n\nOn the night we
  will be doing\,\n\nMerri-tek LoRes Node install and setup\, support and g
 eneral questions\nRaspberry Pi setups\nLinux OS installs\nYour sustainable
 \, resilient and/or just project :)\n\nMBT members will also be ready to t
 alk further about what we do\, what we hope to do and how you can join in.
 \n\nAbout the Naarm Solarpunk group\nSome of us are technologists\, and wi
 ll be showing off software or hardware projects\, and others are more inte
 rested in community organizing\, responding to the climate crisis\, or bui
 lding local resilience. Whatever your area of interest\, or your level of 
 skill\, you're absolutely welcome to dive in.\n\nAt the meetups we'll have
  a show-and-tell time for any projects that you're working on\, as well as
  occasional short presentations. The space will be hosted by volunteers\, 
 and we'll actively work towards inclusion through applying a code of condu
 ct.\n\nMerri-bek Tech has some projects that you might be interested in up
 dates from\, including our attempt to build P2P mesh network based communi
 ty hosting on Raspberry Pis\, and our project to run a local fediverse soc
 ial network.\n\nWe aspire to keep this meetup Solarpunk as fuck. We suppor
 t the hackers\, tinkerers and makers and misfits. There are plenty of othe
 r spaces for big corporate green tech\, so bring your hobby project\, not 
 your day job\, unless that job is firmly rooted in the solidarity economy.
 \n\nWe are not value neutral. We'll start with Merri-bek Tech's values and
  principles\, and build from there together. In particular\, in the contex
 t of ongoing genocide\, we will ask you to leave if you're associated in a
 ny way with the weapons industry.\n\nThis meetup will be hosted on the sto
 len\, unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Always w
 as\, always will be\, Aboriginal land.\n\nImage alt text (honestly meetup\
 , get your shit together): The image is a illustration of a future\, susta
 inable city. There is human-scale\, green tech\, repair shops and urban ga
 rdens
