(Tip: behind the sunflower - and even larger then the sunflower )

#FloraIncognita is an app to identify #plants using the camera of your #smartphone. It is developed by publicly funded Max Planck Society and University Ilmenau. The German Ministry of Environment funds an additional 2.4 millions of public money for further development until 2024. The AI is trained by its users - voluntarily and unpaid. Not releasing the code as #OpenSource seems a theft of the commons, of public money and of the people. Public Money, #PublicCode !

Heute vor 12 Jahre wurde das #TempelhoferFeld besetzt und der Öffentlichkeit übergeben. 2011 wurde "100% Tempelhofer Feld" gegründet und die ersten Hochbeete im #Allmende #Kontor gesetzt. 2014 haben die Berliner*erinnen per #Volksentscheid für die Erhaltung des Tempelhofer Felds als Freifläche gestimmt. 2020 ist dort der erste öffentliche #OpenSourceGarten entstanden.

Wir danken allen Berliner*innen die uns das ermöglicht haben <3 <3 <3

Ihr alle seid das Feld, ihr alle seid der Garten!

12 years ago today, the #TempelhoferFeld was squatted and handed over to the public. In 2011, "100% Tempelhofer Feld" was founded and the first raised beds were planted in the #Allmende #Kontor. In 2014, in a "Volksentscheid" the citizens of Berlin voted for the preservation of Tempelhofer Feld as an open space. In 2020, the first public #OpenSourceGarden was created there.

We thank all Berliners who made this possible <3 <3 <3

You all are the field, you all are the garden!

#Sunviva and #BlackHeart are thriving in the #AllmendeKontor on the #TempelhoferFeld

The European Patent Office (EPO) has rejected a joint appeal filed by NGOs against a patent on barley owned by Carlsberg (EP2373154). The #patent claims non-genetically bred barley #plants, their harvest and the #beer produced thereof.

"No Patents on #Seeds!" is concerned about serious negative impacts such patents can have, as these might also be granted on #vegetables, #fruits and other food plants: https://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/en/news/patent_on_barley_and_beer_upheld

"Retooting" for you from nerdhof.garden on Twitter:

Meanwhile in Berlin our #OpenSourceGarden is like "bursting at the seeds" and is surrounded by beautiful flowers. We planted #OpenSourceSeeds #BlackHeart and #Sunviva and people enjoy the spring in our community garden #AllmendeKontor

Kartini Samon's presentation for the #UN Food Systems #Summit adapted and taken further (original source attached):

"[...] Small farmers, traders and consumers could also benefit from
technology, but to do so we all need to work together to break up
the power of #BigTech and [...]" to foster the use and development of #OpenSource #Software in the whole agricultural sector!

On a sunny day this week, we gathered and constructed a bench for our #OpenSource #Garden in #Berlin so we and others can sit together and grow our passion. Thanks to everyone involved and our decent neighbours ^^
