We are Andy and James, and we are Hopeful Technologists. Has the weekend at Electromagnetic Field made you hopeful, reinforced your existing hope, or helped you to (re)discover the joy of community and tech? There's a new society for that - the Society for Hopeful Technologists! A new co-operative in the UK, founded by Rachel Coldicutt, grown from a newsletter to a solidarity network for technologists who know that we can use our power for good, and find joy in our work again. - Come along to learn about where to find out more, where to get involved, etc. We will have stickers and badges 🎉 - We're also looking to make connections between the Society for Hopeful Technologists, and other groups aligned with our mission, for potential future collaboration - so do come along if you're involve with community and technology events in a similar space. 🌅 If you're not able to join this meetup, then you should definitely sign up to the newsletter -> https://hopeful.technology/ We also have a small app in the Tildagon App Store! https://apps.badge.emfcamp.org/apps/33214040 And, dial HOPE (4673) at any phone on-site.
