Dear All,

TLDR;
We are organizing "Autotopia", a series of events dealing with
automation and society. We are looking for speakers and contributors.

Call for Participation!
For a couple of months a small group has gathered in the Hackspace
Dresden to organize a series of events, which wants to illuminate the
relationship between technology and society.
In April we want to tackle the first topic 'automation' from various
perspectives and with different formats.
Beginning with the industrial revolution, and the massive impact it had
far into the 20th century, we can see again an again how advances in
automation provoke social upheaval. By means of technological progress,
accelerated by a globalized and connected world, disruptive
technologies impact our lives in ever shorter intervals.
The discussion around so-called "future trends" often appears too
simplified and shortsighted. Debates around artificial intelligence,
predictive policing/massive surveillance, Industry 4.0, high-frequency
trading and automated warfare, stumbles over marketing concepts or
suggests an 'obvious necessity'.
A growing number of people feel patronized or left behind faced with
this rampant "progress". We seem to be stuck in this status quo,
although there are various alternatives. Our questions are:
-Who profits from automation?
-Which longterm consequences arise from the wide-spread use of
automation technologies?
-How does automated decision making at work impact the possibility
of democratic participation?
-Which concepts can help to make the next surge of automation
benificial for all members of society?
-Which potential for emancipation and (re)organization may hide in
this technological change?
-How do we decide how far technological systems (should) reach into
our private lives?
The series "Autotopia" aims to discuss these question in various
formats.
We do not target any specific group; we invite makers, hackers,
writers, artists and designers, scientists and journalists,
enthusiasts and critics!
At the moment we are looking for speakers and are going to lay down
precise dates and formats in the next couple of weeks. We are planning
to do talks, workshops, readings, film screenings and discussions.
If you are interested;
Contact us, we are open for any contributions and ideas.
Is there otherwise someone you know, who we should absolutely ask?

Nazdar nazdar hackeri a hackerspaces,
*_>>> pozvanka do Ostravy,_*aneb zaciname od konce*_
_*
vim, ze nekteri fanousci a clenove Labky radi ruiny, kanaly, zrusene
fabriky a pristaviste lodi, tak tady jsou nejake fotky z minulych
veeletoo, pokud by nekdo mel nejake tips and tricks na dalsi mista,
budeme jedine radi. Berte to jako "hackerskou pozvanku do Ostravy". Je
tu vazne krasne, vzdousek jako kren, kraj razovity, stejne jako lide.
Kazdopadne GPS pozice spis soukrome do posty nebo na Slack...

Jo a jinak Duchar mi pomaha s webem https://SensoricNet.com
<https://sensoricnet.com/aktuality>, uz tam je docela dost novinek,
fotky, muzete koukat na grafy, a nektere nam uz dost jasne ukazuji
"odkud vitr fouka" [na tom screenshotu jsou 3 senzory umistene na
ruznych mistech, takze maji jasne rozdilne vysledky, coz je dane tim,
kdo kde znecistuje cim a co]...
*Pokud by nekdo chtel jakkoliv pomoct, rozhodne kazda ruka dobra*.
Temata jsou porad:
- peer review sensorickeho hardaru a firmwaru [Dron a Ivan]
- neuralka [Marx]
- pomoct Dronovi s backendem a platformou pro shareovani raw i
postprodukovanych dat
- samozrejme shanime jakekoliv dalsi aplikace, krom toho, co uz mame
[cistime vzduch v Liberci, 7 days to go na showtime, ale uz je to ready]
- samozrejme shanime dalsi investory
- samozrejme shanime jakekoliv mozne pomocne ruce s vyrobou a jeji pripravou
- hodilo by se nam vymyslet nejake elegantni zakrabicovani a poresit
jeho vyrobu...
- pomohla by pomoct s kalibracemi a certifikacemi
... zatim jeste nemame grant na 2019, ale uz je o nej pozadano a snad
jej dostanem, kazdopadne poslednim rokem grantu cela prace neumira,
udelame vsechno aby sit konzistentne fungovala a merila protoze o data
je ENORMNI zajem, stejne jako o hardware senzoru, takze jakakoliv
investice do budoucnosti... no je holt investici do budoucnosti.
Kazdopadne uz to nemusi byt zadny Angel Investment, vicemene finishujeme
projektovou dokumentaci na seriovou vyrobu... kazdopadne prace muze byt
i placena, pokud bude stat za to.
Projekt je to obrovsky, a rozhodne poskytuje ocekavane vysledky a
generuje nemalou publicitu, takze se clovek dost i neco nauci.
Mimochodem *chystame se poslat jeden kus do Base48 a jeden do BRMLABu,
takze pokud z techle hackerspace mate zajem vedet vic, dejte vedet na
labka(a)labka.cz, nyxu nebo konecne tom Slacku. Na IRC se dostanu, ale
casto za uprku.*
Ducharovi, Pavlovi, Dronovi, Betikovi & Adele, stejne tak i vsem, kdo v
Labce neco delaji, nebo kdo jsou ji alespon verni jako divaci, tak moc
dekuju pred nastoupenou jednotkou. Byl to tezkej rok, ale stalo to za
to, jedem dal.
Pozdravujeme do ostatnich hackerspaces a tesime se na CTJB.
Carpe noctum,
