Foundation of "IT-folks" association

Foundation of club/association IT-folks

Today, together with 4 other founding members, we founded the club/association IT-folks.

We want to foster the digital transformation in Germany by contributing to knowledge about IT topics in the general population.

More formally, this is the purpose of the association:

Purpose of association IT-folks

The purpose of the association is the promotion of popular and professional education, the promotion of science and research, and the promotion of civic engagement for the benefit of non-profit purposes in the field of computer and information sciences.

  1. The statutory purpose is achieved, for example, through the dissemination of appropriate knowledge and expertise through lectures, courses and maker projects.

  2. The association is not politically active; political statements of the members are not made in the name of the association.

  3. The offer of the association is basically directed to people of all age groups.

  4. The association is selflessly active; it does not primarily pursue its own economic purposes.

Website and github org

Our Website http://www.it-folks.de is still work in progress and not yet very helpful.

However here is our github org:

https://github.com/IT-folks

where you can for example see the presentation material and source code
of some Arduino classes we presented at VHS Tübingen.
