DESCRIPTION:Windows 10 security updates end on 14 October 2025\, KDE's 29th
  birthday and also\, ironically\, International E-Waste Day [1] (you canno
 t make these things up!). Hundreds of millions of functioning devices [2] 
 will become e-waste. This means manufacturing and transporting new ones\, 
 which is perhaps the biggest waste of all: hardware production alone can a
 ccount for over 75% of a device's CO2 emissions over its lifespan.\n\nFree
  Software is a solution\, today\, and if we work together Windows 10 could
  truly be the last version of Windows users ever use! In this talk I will 
 present the issue of e-waste and the importance of right-to-repair softwar
 e\, and invite the audience to participate in coordinating a global\, unif
 ied Free Software campaign over the next year to raise awareness about the
  environmental harm of software-driven hardware obsolescence\, while promo
 ting upgrading users from Windows 10 to GNU/Linux directly. Extending hard
 ware's operating life with Free Software is good for users\, and better fo
 r the environment. Let's think big and act boldly as a unified community!
