A community gathering dedicated to permacomputing – cultivating resilient, and sustainable approaches to technology. Share your skills, explore regenerative and low-tech computing, and practice hands-on maintenance and repair. This is a space to collaborate and discuss how hardware and software can prioritise adaptability, transparency and care. At a time when harmful tech practices like AI are dominating culture, we want to build a community in opposition to this. Everyone is welcome but we encourage women and non-binary folks to join us. Please bring your own tech, and take a moment to read our principles before joining: permacomputing.net/principles.

We meet Every Monday, 6:30 - 7:30 pm at SET Social, 55a Nigel Rd, London SE15 4NP. This is a drop-in, in-person, casual gathering where we discuss permacomputing and work in small groups to exchange skills.

Every session is different but expect socialising with some experienced technical chat. Sometimes we ask people in a group to share something they have read, experienced, or have a project they want to get feedback on. This crit-based approach enables everyone to give advice and share knowledge while foregrounding reflection and critique. Read more about these Tech Crits here: are.na/block/40727444.
