This project is, and always has been looking for collaborators.

It has not been advertised enough that we are looking for people to contribute to the project.

You can 'join the committee', and set out your own research plan, and use the resources the project has at its disposal.

If you are interested in participating in the project, you can be:

- granted access to the BASIC archive through SFTP,

- given read-write access to the project's got repository,

- allowed to publish in the name of the people's permacomputer project.

Please reach out if you are interested.

You do not have to deal with BASIC to contribute.

Do you want to start a permacomputing collective?

In the past months, and with support from @Error417 we have developed a small score/guide/recipe that can hopefully inspire you to get started with this topic.

https://brewing.permacomputing.net

The text of the guide was written by anna andrejew (https://annaandrejew.com), @praxeology and @latentspace based on interviews with @anmeisel (London Permacomputing Club), https://archipielago.uno, @colm (Wilderland permacomputing group), @cmos4040 and @decentral1se (rotterdam.permacomputing.net), @praxeology (Berlin Permacomputing Meet Up), @michal (Node9), @sister0 (Autoluminescence Institute), @freebliss (permacomputing Vienna), and Steve McLaughlin (Philly permacomputing + solar punk meetups at @iffybooks hosted together with Dave Slinger).

donc, 3eme batterie pour cet ordiphone, la dernière avait gonflé _et_ cassé de son connecteur ... on espère tirer encore quelques mois de ce machin qui a presque 10 ans
(oui on vends encore des batteries neuves pour ce truc, mais il faut péter l'arrière pour accéder à l'intérieur bc plastique+0.1mm gorilla glass Xp ) #permacomputing

https://basiclang.solarpunk.au/d/9-tiny-basic-in-2k/6

serial out now working.

work seems to be able to proceed a bit faster now that the different conventions between avr-as and avr-gcc are understood.

the project is opting to use avr-gcc for the power of its macros, which may come in handy. having symbol pre-processing available makes development that little bit easier.

Progress has been made on writing a Tiny BASIC for memory limited microcontrollers.

Please find the code for AVR assembly for a working blinking LED demonstration for the Arduino Mega.

https://basiclang.solarpunk.au/d/9-tiny-basic-in-2k/5

This forum thread will serve as a devlog for "2K Tiny BASIC".

The point of this line of activity is to write a Tiny BASIC that will fit on the cheapest and most readily available microcontrollers. Most of which have about 2K SRAM--such as the Arduino Uno.

Here’s a video about running a PC off of 12VDC batteries without inverters.

Next *tuesday* the vienna #permacomputing meetup is happening again – January 13th from 19:00-22:00, at GT_'s lovely space at Alte WU/Spittelau: https://gtblank.org/event/99

This time around, Maël Madon will present their "Reflections on sufficiency for data centers", to quote them: "I am a researcher in Computer Science, with an interest in environmental impacts of computing. In this talk, I want to share with you some insights from my PhD work, in which we tried to go beyond efficiency measures for data centers, and rather think about "sufficiency". I will explain how we approached the problem, give some results and also personal thoughts on the question."

You are warmly invited to also bring other topics to the meeting of course - lighting talks, announcements, ad-hoc discussions ... just come by and join in! Note that the meetup is also very much open to newcomers - interest for the general topic (https://permacomputing.net/) is all that is required. See you there!
