Repair Caf\u00e9s around the world will soon be able to easily organise their own Linux Repair Caf\u00e9. Our special starter kit to help you get started will also be available in English, German, French and Spanish! <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dutch Linux Repair Caf\u00e9s are already very popular. Meetings often attract dozens of visitors who want help switching to open source software. Repair Caf\u00e9 International has been working hard behind the scenes over the past few months. The starter pack for your own Linux Repair Caf\u00e9 will also be available in other languages from the end of November.<\/p>\n

Why a Linux Repair Caf\u00e9? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Microsoft announced that it will stop supporting Windows 10, the operating system that runs on most computers worldwide, on 14 October 2025. There is now good news: Microsoft is extending this support by one year. After that date, millions of older computers are still at risk of becoming e-waste. We can use this year to familiarise more people with Linux open source software and help them make the switch!<\/p>\n

Start your own Linux Repair Caf\u00e9 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Repair Caf\u00e9 International has developed a special starter kit for this purpose, which will soon be available in English, German, French and Spanish. It includes a manual that guides you step by step through the entire process of organising your own Linux Repair Caf\u00e9. From recruiting suitable volunteers, through technical preparation, to your first meeting. A comprehensive script explains what you need to do at each stage to make your Linux Repair Caf\u00e9 a success.<\/p>\n

In addition, the starter pack contains all kinds of additional materials, such as a ready-made press release for local media, fillable flyers that you can distribute in your neighbourhood, instructions for volunteers and a slideshow about Linux that you can play for visitors during your meeting. We also offer a special installation version of Linux Mint, which makes installation quick and easy.<\/p>\n
