Community Technology Training

Name: Helpbuttons
Author: Helpbuttons

The community behind Helpbuttons is committed to sharing knowledge about server installation and management, free software, and social cooperation. We believe technology should serve people.

A real learning opportunity

This training gives people with no technical background a chance to learn about server management, free software, and digital cooperation. Beyond the technical side, it opens a door to a world where technology serves communities. Participants can apply what they learn directly, and many will find it opens up real job opportunities.

What will you learn?

The programme covers the following topics:

How to create, configure, and/or rent your own server
What is free software, decentralized protocols, and server federation
Installing and configuring Helpbuttons and other open source tools with real examples
How to configure and promote cooperation in your community through Helpbuttons
The impact of irresponsible and unsustainable technology use on our bodies and the environment

Technology with responsibility

We also educate about irresponsible and unsustainable digital habits: the effect of tech overuse on our mental and physical health, and the energy and environmental cost of data centres. We believe in technology that is more human, more just, and more sustainable.
