This meet-up presents BesserAlsNeu, a project to support people in the neighborhood and beyond to use their digital devices sustainably with the help of free software.

"We provide support in setting up and using Linux operating systems on laptops or Android custom ROMs on smartphones and tablets. We also collect any old devices, up-cycle them and then give them out free of charge, for example to those in need or to cultural or social projects in the neighborhood."

BesserAlsNeu is a project by Resi - the resource shop in Alt-Treptow at Bouchéstraße 79 B.

We will begin with a short presentation of the project, followed by discussion. Afterward, there will be an open session with recycled devices to check out and advice for anyone looking to repurpose an old laptop or phone. There will be a few USB install sticks for those excited enough to try it on their own device.
