Yes, we event organisers and everyone involved know that the #Fediverse is more diverse than just a German/English community, just #Mastodon, mainly men, mainly tech people …

Dear hackers,

I am a Free Software instructor and systems programmer who loves internet techology, and dedicated to advancing open-source innovation through my own initiatives and community leadership. My work is not a job application—it is my profession and mission. I have taken on the role of Project Lead Developer and Systems Programmer within my own company, where I design, build, and teach Free Software systems that empower individuals and organizations.

At QB Networks, I lead a developer team focused on replacing proprietary solutions with Free Software, primarily through GNU Emacs and modular programming practices. My leadership extends to projects in artificial intelligence research, malware analysis, and game development. As Project Lead Developer of Procyberian Systems Distribution (PSD GNU/Linux, GNU/Hurd , BSDs especially FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD systems), I oversee cross-platform application development, kernel engineering, and community programming education. These responsibilities reflect my commitment to building sustainable, transparent, and collaborative ecosystems.

Beyond technical leadership, I contribute to community-driven initiatives such as the Linux® Türkiye Community, where I serve as Documentation Team Lead and also as Translation Team Lead. In this capacity, I coordinated Turkish localization efforts and took responsibility as reviewer for the DevOps LPI translation project, ensuring accuracy and accessibility for learners and professionals. These roles reinforced my dedication to empowering communities through education, translation, and Free Software advocacy.

My background in economics complements my technical expertise, allowing me to approach projects with both analytical and strategic perspectives. I am passionate about advancing the Free Software Movement and believe that my skills in systems programming, kernel engineering, and AI development are essential to building a freer, more secure digital future.

This is the work I have chosen, and it is the work I continue to lead. I welcome collaboration with those who share the vision of empowering communities through Free Software.

Best regards,
Mert Gör

AMRO26:
Becoming unreadable

Art Meets Radical Openness
Festival dedicated to Art, Hacktivism and Open Culture

Art Meets Radical Openness is a biennial community festival for art, hacktivism and open cultures. It provides a space for discussion and resistance against technological monoculture, and for sharing and learning together on contemporary issues of our networked times.

The current techno-political moment is dominated by AI and by the strengthening of the alliance between big tech and conservative politics, as well as a blind faith in endless computational growth. All of this relies on forms of “hyper-visibility”, based on the assumption that a constant online omnipresence is normal and desirable. Our interconnectedness forms the basis of mainstream digital cultures and serves as a tool for ubiquitous surveillance and the exploitative appropriation of works and data by big tech, which demands critical opposition.

For its 2026 edition, titled ‘Becoming Unreadable’, AMRO invites its community to reflect on and engage with invisibility, unreadability, ungovernability, and uncomputability as strategies for resistance.. AMRO26 aims at challenging the common understanding of AI, networks and computers, and through its programme, explores approaches that offer real change: low-tech, feminist and community IT, computing within limits, up to even more radical ideas around de-computing, de-networking, de-scaling and de-platforming ourselves. 'Becoming Unreadable' involves evading surveillance by oligarchic tech corporations, operate under the radar, and refuse to comply to the total AI cloud. Non-commercial community infrastructures are fundamental tools in this process, but even more importantly we need to develop new ways of understanding each others and being together as humans. Art Meets Radical Openness wants to be a space dedicated to that.

ABOUT AMRO

AMRO, Art Meets Radical Openness, is a festival, a platform and a community for art, hacktivism and open cultures, organized since 2008 by servus.at in cooperation with the Linz University of Art, Department of Time-Based Media and Visual Communcation.

“Art Meets Radical Openness” brings together local and international artists, activists, developers, researchers and hacktivists involved with the culture of sharing and communal production. They are catalysts that spark new discourses and open up new directions of thinking. Free Open Source Software, open tools in general and the use of free licenses are the precondition and basis for the digital practice of a community like this, which impels social transformation. This tangible transformation goes beyond a digital practice and also changes our real life.

“The things we admire in men, #kindness and #generosity, #openness, #honesty, #understanding and feeling are the concomitants of #failure in our system.

"At #Decidim, we believe that #participatory democratic #infrastructures must be developed in a transparent, open and democratic manner. The principles of transparency, participation, and #openness…must be equally applied to the development of technology.
The exercise of #technologicalsovereignty is an active principle, based on the real ability to control the technology you use and not be at the mercy of private corporations."
