Come and show your music skills at the second event of “Speed Comp and sharing”, which is an evening where you will be given a bunch of samples, some instructions, a limited amount of time and you’ll have to make a track!
After that we are going to show each other our tracks and explain how we did it.
The second episode’s rules are: You must make music on an opensource OS (Linux, FreeBSD etc…), you can still use proprietary DAW and VST plugins for FXs, you must use only the samples given at the workshop and you’ll have 30 minutes to build your track. 🙂

Proxy Cafe, a place and moment where we gather to talk about computers, free and opensource software, to follow or give a workshop, share skills. Feel free to come for a workshop, to have a chat, a drink around a pizza!
Free software workshops. Discussing tech and politics, GNU/Linux, fixing computers and revive old laptops, free and opensource software workshops. Zapatista coffee.

Radical Sunday School: Aging, Death, and Body Horror

By: börek - May 10th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday May 11, 2025, Radical Sunday School: Aging, Death, and Body Horror. From 18:00 till 20:00.What are the true horrors of aging? Is it growing older? Your body and mind failing? Or is it the looming prospect of death itself? We desperately try to hold on to our youth, it seems. And what do you expect if we are incessantly told by capitalist society that youth equals beauty, vitality, and desirability…? Is the true horror of aging not the system that creates and exploits these vulnerabilities?

Let’s revolt against this system together! Against ageism, exploitation and these expectations! At this Radical Sunday School session, we discuss our own personal experiences, realities, and fears revolving around aging, death, and our decomposing bodies – all in an attempt to find ways to accept the reality of aging and death, and reclaim our bodies that have been turned into horror.

Radical Sunday School: The Loneliness Epidemic, combatting social isolation

By: börek - May 3rd, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday May 4, 2025, Radical Sunday School: The Loneliness Epidemic, combatting social isolation. From 18:00 till 20:00.People from all parts of society struggle with loneliness. Whether surrounded by people or literally isolated at home, loneliness is something most of us can relate to in some way. Some even say there is a loneliness epidemic.
So is there really a loneliness epidemic? Is it worse now than it has been in the past, or than it is elsewhere? What causes us to feel loneliness? Are there societal causes or mental health issues involved? What does it take to truly feel connected to one another?
Let’s explore these questions together and discuss ways to combat social isolation. There will be some space to share personal experiences, we will analyze the issue together and find ways to combat the social isolation we and others experience.

Proxycafe: Repair Cafe

By: börek - April 17th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Wednesday April 23, 2025, Proxycafe: Repair Cafe. Door opens at 18:00.

Is your linux computer broken and need some help? This is the perfect moment to ask help to our folk and fix your machine together, hopefully learning something from it. 🙂
Do you have a Windows or a Macbook machine? If you are lucky you may find someone to help you but you shouldn’t expect it as we are not having fun fixing those proprietary systems and is also more difficult to learn from it! 😛
We’ll try to offer our expertise to help fixing the operating system and some software, assisting you opening your machine to debug hardware faults but note we don’t have components to give/sell, but we could help you ordering the replacement part!
Of course expect our famous fresh frozen pizzas!

Radical Sunday School: French-English Border Struggle and Solidarity

By: börek - April 17th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday April 20, 2025, Radical Sunday School: French-English Border Struggle and Solidarity. From 18:00 till 20:00.Through the years, thousands have waited, often for months, struggling to survive, trying to cross the English channel at Calais, France, to Dover, England, in hope of a better life. They are met with harsh living conditions, police brutality, and state repression… And it’s all because of BORDERS…
What is the situation at the French-English border? How do people live and how do they try to cross the English channel? What kind of policies and political responses are at play that deny people the right of entry? What groups provide aid to those in need? And, what can we ourselves do to help?
Jointly, we will examine and discuss these questions. To set the stage, the facilitator will first talk about the situation at the border. After which, we explore these matters together, from providing aid to border tech to the No Borders movement, and much more.

Radical Sunday School – From Housing Insecurity to Collective Power with the Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW)

By: börek - April 11th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday April 13, 2025, Radical Sunday School – From Housing Insecurity to Collective Power with the Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW). From 18:00 till 20:00.Housing is not a privilege, but a civil right. And yet, more and more people are forced to live insecure, facing temporary housing contracts, poor quality housing and unaffordable rents. This growing group – the precarious tenants – is told that precarious living is normal, but we at the BPW (Bond Precaire Woonvormen) don’t agree with that.

That’s why BPW and RSS are organising the Living Struggle workshop: From stress to collective power. We explore how to stand your ground, build counter-power together, get moving and keep going – without exhausting yourself. What concrete strategies are available to help push back even if you find yourself facing a housing problem on your own? How do we stay connected and grow as a movement when housing insecurity tears down our communities?

This workshop is for anyone who is facing a precarious living situation, willing to support those who do or seeking solidarity. Prior experience in housing activism is not needed. Together, we’ll build a more accessible and powerful movement.
