# Wild Food, Hacking, Activism
|
|
|
|
I am passionate about hacking, food, fermentation and nature,
|
|
and having fun on the <span class="explanation" title="bicycle, unicycle">{bi,uni}cycle</span>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the past two years I have been creating, collaborating and sharing wide variety of projects.
|
|
It ranges from foraging local herbs, making <span class="explanation" style="text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer;" title="fermented tea, fermented cabbage, fermented beer, fermented wine">fermented {tea,cabbage,beer,wine}</span> workshops,
|
|
started the [Cryptoaarhus](https://cryptoaarhus.data.coop/) [cryptoparty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoParty),
|
|
hosting the knitting café at Café Mellemfolk,
|
|
contributing to [open source software](/LearnMore/OpenSource) among many other things.
|
|
I like going to hacker events where I have in collaboration with other people made things from pizza ovens to tools that help journalists secure their cryptographic keys in [Qubes OS](https://www.qubes-os.org/) protecting their sources.
|
|
|
|
For several years now I have been contributing to an open source project called [MirageOS](https://mirage.io/),
|
|
both online but also going to Morocco on so-called *hack retreats* once or twice a year to collaborate with hackers from all over the world,
|
|
from Europe, North America, Brazil, Russia, Japan, Australia, and more.
|
|
MirageOs is a *library operating system*.
|
|
To put it briefly it's a radically different way of writing and using software,
|
|
potentially allowing regular people to own their own data and run the digital services we often rely on Big Companies for.
|
|
Either individually or in local cooperatives such as [data.coop](https://data.coop/) which I'm a boardmember and contributor to.
|
|
We dream about a solarpunk future!
|
|
|
|
Some of the friends I made in this community got funding from the EU, the [NGI Pointer](https://ngi.pointer.eu/).
|
|
The fund supports open source projects working towards the Next Generation Internet with European values.
|
|
The funding for [Robur](https://robur.coop/) is to work on making it easier to run MirageOS applications.
|
|
This involves working with activist collectives and other interested parties such as
|
|
[Immderda.ch](https://www.immderda.ch/), [Autistici](https://www.autistici.org/), [Censurfridns.dk](https://censurfridns.dk/) and [data.coop](https://data.coop/).
|
|
|
|
[Robur](https://robur.coop/) is structured as a non-profit, and a certain percentage has to come from funds or donations.
|
|
The pay is far from market rate, but enough to live on and maybe pay for an affordable office space.
|
|
The deal is non-exclusive; with the company Sorbus ursina I set up I can make a business of the things I like to do. Or not. The structure is there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the the office I plan on working from there just about every weekday.
|
|
I am a social being and thrive around other people.
|
|
I look forward to coming to Frontløberne daily and share the space and ideas with the lovely people there.
