Welcome to the Permacomputing wiki!

What is this?

Wiki

Started in May 2022, this wiki is about permacomputing, a radically sustainable approach to computing inspired by permaculture, with a focus on utilizing already available computational resources.

The wiki is still at a very early stage of development, we don't know yet what permacomputing can be or could be. We need your help, specially if you have expertise in ecology, environmentalism and computer/net technology. If you want to contribute, please contact us for editing privileges.

This main page of the wiki is an index to the various topics covered. See "about" for a more detailed discussion about the wiki itself.

New to permacomputing?

If you are unfamiliar with permacomputing, please start reading about its principles.

Topics

Theory

• Permacomputing design principles;
• Concepts for discussing permacomputing;
• Resources such as articles, and papers.

Practice

• Projects that (may) have some permacomputing relevance;
• Assessments of existing and established pieces of technology;
• Hardware information;
• Courses and workshops.

Around, nearby and beyond

• Communities that (may) have compatible goals and interests;
• More fine-grained properties of software built using permacomputing principles, and how they're shared by neighboring communities;
• Damaged Earth Catalog covers concepts and movements related to permacomputing.

Community?

It's difficult to speak of Permacomputing as a community just yet. However we would like to welcome and include as many people as possible in the discussion. At the moment we use the following means to exchange and stay in touch with each others:

• IRC: #permacomputing channel on libera.chat;
• Mailing list: permacomputing /at/ we \dot\ lurk /dot/ org;
• #permacomputing: obvious hashtag that we use on socials (mainstream and alt).

Note: the IRC channel and the list are moderated and you must agree to our terms.
