Friday 28 November - Saturday 29th November 2025 at Stroom Den Haag, NL
Brewing Permacomputing Collectives Friday 28 November, 17:00–18:30 at Stroom Den Haag
Stroom Den Haag is hosting an evening of short talks and discussion with members of international Permacomputing groups.
This year, London’s Permacomputing Club received funding to run roaming programming workshops across Central Europe, while permacomputing.net continues to serve as the main hub for these networks. The site recently earned the Error 406 Tech Fascism Not Acceptable award, supporting the creation of a global guide for building new permacomputing communities. During this afternoon of short presentations and a moderated discussion, participants will share recent projects, tools, reflections from their local communities and how the practice has expanded. As usual, there will be insights into ecological and communal infrastructures, and how we might reimagine our everyday relationship with technology.
Speakers include:
- Anna Andrejew (The Hague artist, Mens en Tuin, Stadsoase Spinozahof, Volkskeuken, On Solid Ground, permacomputing.net)
- Brendan Howell (Berlin Permacomputing Meetup, LURK, permacomputing.net)
- Aymeric Mansoux (WdKA Research Centre, LURK, permacomputing.net)
- Ana Meisel (London Permacomputing Club, Superkilogirls)
- Danny Tirthdas van der Kleij (Varia, permacomputing.net)
- Lua Vollaard (Stroom Den Haag, Superkilogirls)

Windows updates got you down?
Old laptop in need of new life?
Curious about penguins?
This week we'll be kicking off the first of hopefully many technical workshops, and our first one is...Installing Linux on Older Hardware on Monday 6th October!
While Microsoft seems to be caving at the last minute with the extension of Windows 10 support, it serves to highlight how quickly even relatively new, perfectly functional hardware can be left behind.Many old laptops and computers are generally completely fine, yet the mounting e-waste crisis continues as support for older platforms is dropped.
Enter Linux on the desktop.
Linux is not yet a household name in the same way as Windows or MacOS, yet it has a lot to offer those looking to keep hardware running and useful.With mountains of configuration options, efficient and powerful software, and endless customisability that puts the control of your machine firmly in your hands, it's perfect for anyone looking to rebuild their relationship with technology (plus it has a cute mascot!)
If you have a computer or laptop that you'd like to try Linux out on, bring it along to our Monday session on October 6th! Please also bring a usb flash drive if you have one available. We'll be spending the session installing and taking you through the basics of how to use Linux on the desktop, how to install applications, and how you can start making it your day-to-day computer.
Please note that the installation will overwrite all contents of your hard drive and the usb drive, so make sure all important documents have been copied off the computer you're bringing as they will not be retrievable afterwards
If you want to read up ahead of the workshop to get an idea of what Linux has to offer you and what to expect, see our explainer doc here:

13th of September
The University of London, Stewart House, 32 Russell Square, WC1B 5DN
Saturday 13th of September
10:00 - 15:00
Linked to: update-cms
Join us for a day of experimentation as we explore moving our email list and website content to different platforms (SilverBullet, Obsidian, Sourcehut, and more) to see what works best for our community. Taking inspiration from the multicropping technique in permaculture, we'll test various approaches to find out what will stick in our digital ecosystem.
We'll start by sketching out ideas for shared, sustainable digital infrastructures, then partake in hands-on experimentation with alternative web tools, small-scale servers, content management systems, and content renderers.
This is a low-key, hands-on gathering for artists, hackers, and the perma-curious. Come ready to swap skills and stories, play, learn, and grow something together. All welcome!
For more information, please email one of us
