Bring it back to life! Kids Edition #FOSS for #sustainability at #38C3. Have an old computer in the drawer? For the holidays give your kids and yourself a “new” old Linux gaming device in this drop-in workshop with #KDEEco. Avoid CO2 in device production and have fun doing it! Bring an old laptop and give it a second life on Sunday 29 Dec. from 12-15h, GF1 Saal 5. If you want to set up a full-on gaming device, don't forget a controller :) @KDE #KDE #OptGreen #FreeSoftware #OpenSource

It's #BlueFriday and let's celebrate by doing something good for the planet. The most eco-friendly device is still the one you already own! Install GNU/Linux and run new & old HW more efficiently and for longer, reducing the disproportionate #carbon footprint from device production. Donate the savings to #KDE and #FOSS projects to show your love for all the amazing things we achieve when we work together:

Let's begin organizing a global, unified campaign to raise awareness about Windows 10's end of support on 14 October 2025, the role software plays in driving #eWaste, and how independent, sustainable #FreeSoftware is a solution to keep those devices in use and out of the landfill. https://www.sfscon.it/workshops/opt-green-coordinating-a-windows-10-to-linux-upcycling-campaign-across-free-software-communities-worldwide/ @KDE #SFSCon #Bolzano #KDE #KDEEco #FOSS #OpenSource #Windows10 #Sustainability

KDE Eco

What

The criteria for the Blue Angel for resource- and energy-efficient software have been updated. What has changed and what does that mean for KDE?

The Blue Angel #ecolabel is the official #environmental label awarded by the German government. Now #smartphone apps & client-server systems can be certified as #sustainable 🌻, along with desktop software like #Okular as before. And more! #BlueAngel #BlauerEngel #GermanEnvAgency #UBA #BMUV #KDEEco #sustainability #ecology #FreeSoftware #OpenSource @KDE @npub16dn2...vl6k

9th graders learn Linux for the environment! Last week in #Hannover, #KDEEco joined Akademie der Spiele, an event for 200+ students with 20+ career/cultural workshops. Students salvaged dozens of computers with #OpenSource #FreeSoftware. They learned about the #environmental costs of #eWaste and device production. They presented their work to peers and teachers! Some even played games🚀 We're proud of our students - congrats for all you achieved in only 5 days! @KDE #KDE #FOSS #OptGreen
