Hey! @Mariano Guerra & I are starting a meetup in Munich, tentatively called "Homebrew Systems Club". Vibes Programming languages, environments, systems Databases Operating systems Virtual machines {Handmade, local-first, lo-fi, home cooked} software Interested? Sign up here and we'll let you know when we have a date: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc3pWdhXlfnkLg0ZL0rhVczhjr90uQpMitG13HGnsQqzU3xag/viewform?usp=sf_link

Actually been putting something together like this for Berlin but focused on alt computing, what kind of venue are you using? i'm trying to find a space that allows beer + pizza, but has a projector and doesn't cost any money. i'd host it in my apartment but i'm way outside the city

Hey! We haven't 100% locked down the venue, but it's an office, that makes some space available to student groups. One of the students arranged for us to use it. We're doing it on a Saturday afternoon though so I wasn't planning on beer & food, although I think we could probably do it…

Nice, yeah I might try writing some universities to see if I can use a room without being a student. To me, alternative computing is using/building systems that are different from what we have currently (my experience on Linux has gone virtually unaltered for the last 20 years). Everything from scuttlebutt, to bare metal small talk, non-Unixy operating systems, Green Arrays/Mill computing, VLIW, small scale chip fab. Maybe trying to avoid AI right now, the hype has produced too much kipple to sift through.
