Permacomputing NYC

Permacomputing NYC is a newly brewing meetup and community of practice centered around principles of permacomputing, meeting in New York City.

In a time where computing epitomizes industrial waste and exploitation, permacomputing encourages a more sustainable approach, maximizing hardware lifespans, minimizing energy use and focussing on the use of already available computational resources. Permacomputing asks the question whether it is possible to rethink computing in the same way as permaculture rethinks agriculture. --permacomputing wiki
