Event

The initiative Nein zur Bezahlkarte Leipzig (No to Payment Cards Leipzig) organises the solidarity voucher exchange with the help of the open source app Couponexpress. The app is freely available on codeberg.org and comes with instructions for use. The app is only used within the group to manage an order system for vouchers. With the help of the app, voucher orders from solidarity buyers can be matched with the vouchers actually available after an exchange, and the distribution to be made can be calculated. Without the app, the now large number of vouchers to be distributed would no longer be manageable, and it would not be possible to help so many people obtain more cash to circumvent the discriminatory payment card system. In the workshop, the app will be presented by people from the Leipzig initiative and a member of the development team, who will explain how to use it. In a subsequent SkillShareSession, participants with coding skills will discuss necessary improvements and enhancements and plan their implementation.
