Goal

The goal is to

Increase the understanding of this kind of software within techinc
To inform other people on what to install, how to configure it, etc. And also help people install this kind of software on their own devices
Run some services at techinc (for members, but maybe also for the community at large). For example the federated social media.

The idea is to keep it practical and have every once in a while a presentation, for example about politics, or theoretical aspects.

Make tutorials?
