1 Welcome to the Permacomputing wiki! 2 3  4 5 **[[Permacomputing]]** is both a concept and a community of practice 6 oriented around issues of resilience and regenerativity in computer and 7 network technology inspired by permaculture. 8 9 There are huge environmental and societal [[issues]] in today's computing, 10 and Permacomputing specifically wants to challenge them in the same way as 11 [[permaculture]] challenges industrial agriculture. 12 13 Permacomputing is also a utopian ideal that needs a lot of rethinking, 14 rebuilding and technical design work to put in practice. This is why a lot 15 of material on this wiki is highly technical. 16 17 For more information: 18 19 * [[A longer introduction|Permacomputing]] 20 * [[principles]] for designers 21 * [[Issues]] in today's computing 22 * [[Wiki]] information 23 24 Resources: 25 26 * [[Getting Started]] - a starter's manual of some sort 27 * [[Library]] - texts and media about and around permacomputing 28 * [[Projects]] - selection of projects affiliated with or adjacent to permacomputing 29 * [[Assessments]] - review and analysis of existing and established pieces of technology 30 * [[Communities]] - permacomputing communities of practice and related 31 * [[Events]] - such as talks, workshops, meetings and seminars 32 * [[Contribute to the wiki|contribute]] - join us!
