KDE EcoSupporting children learning digital sustainability!
Why one company in #Hannover donated time/hardware to support a GNU/Linux workshop at Akademie der Spiele:
"If Germany is to create an economically and environmentally sustainable economy [...], we have to encourage our children to take control of their digital world. They must see it as something they can shape and make decisions about, not just something to be consumed."

Had a great time with Gophers and the folks from Amicus last night. #berlin grated me with mist this morning, to refresh my tired mind :-). A quick morning at #upvest HQ and then #Hannover awaits this evening.
Good morning #berlin. Nice hotel room view for once, spanning from #upvest HQ on the extreme left, across the Spree on the Oberbaumbrucke , looking towards the Ostbahnhof and the television tower.
Tom Waits is playing in my room, and I’m looking forward to a great day!
Saying goodbye to #Hannover for a few days. Off to the #upvest HQ in #berlin to co-host a #golang event tomorrow with Amicus and get some face time with colleagues too .
