Thank you to everyone who attended our July repair café, we had donations of £82.30.

We'll be spending it on PAT calibration and parking costs for our volunteers.

We can't wait to be back at Barry Library on Saturday 6th September from 10am until 1pm.

Good morning DMV! Our next Repair Cafe is THIS SATURDAY, Aug 16th! Doors open at 10:30am, and we'd love to see you there!

New to Repair Cafe? Bring a broken item or a question, and let's work together to figure it out. Repairs and consultations are free, and we have snacks to share.

PLEASE NOTE: We CAN do knife sharpening at this event after all. See next post for more details.

#RepairCafe #Mandurah South an eclectic community business that is now open at Falcon Community Menshed

"Mandurah’s newest repair cafe is giving locals an opportunity to have their broken treasures repaired, reused and transformed by a group of crafty volunteers.

"With their ethos being to reduce as much landfill as possible, the skilled volunteers are fixing clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, toys and more at the cafe, which opened last month.

"The group is led by #FalconCommunityMenshed president Ben Curnow and was given start-up support by #LakelandsRepairCafe, which operates in the Lakelands Shopping Centre on the second and fourth Saturday of each month."

We were short on fixers this month but despite that we managed:

37 repairs in total 😲.
16 fixed 🥳.
6 repairable & 11 still in repair🛠️.
2 end of life 🪦.
2 mysteries 🕵🏻.

Thank you for your patience everyone who joined us - we really appreciate the kindness and understanding you showed with the long waits.

We're back at Barry Library on Saturday 6th September - tell your friends!

In stappen begint er een mooie samenwerking te ontstaan tussen steeds meer gemeenschappen die in het verlengde van elkaar te liggen, zoals #opensource, #Linux, #hackerspace en #repaircafe.

Zo ligt mijn linux.vooreenbeginner.nl/ mooi in het verlengde van @RepairCafeInternational en @nllgg. De @nluug is weer iets meer gericht op de professional die Linux/Unix dagelijks gebruikt. Momenteel is er ook @why2025camp met bijvoorbeeld @angrynerdspodcast die er verslag van doet.

Linux voor een beginner · Linux voor een beginnerLinux voor een beginner is een reeks aan artikelen (gratis en vrij) om beginners beter bekend te maken met Linux en de mogelijkheden.

Vielleicht eine weitere Chance für die Computer-rett-Idee "Linux statt Wegwerfen" größere Aufmerksamkeit zu erzielen.
Gerade bekamen wir die E-Mail von der @verbraucherzentrale_nrw vom Projekt #MehrWertRevier mit einer Einladung zum Gespräch. Der Countdown rast und es wissen immer noch viel zu wenige wie einfach aus einem schrottreifen Windows-Computer ein schicker Linux-Rechner wird.
