A lot of yuniteers are part of the foodsharing.de community themselves and all share the same motivation to combat food waste and waste in general. foodsharing.de is the origin of the yunity project and a great thing to build on: In Summer 2015 Raphael Fellmer made a video with a call for action to make foodsharing international and open source. Around 30 people followed the invitation and gathered in Italy at the WuppDays #1 to built a new foodsharing website that allows to extent the scope of sharing towards whatever people love to share in their lives - books, items, resources, skills...

Due to realizing that the envisioned yunity platform will probably not be able to fully replace foodsharing.de anytime soon, they started to give more love to the old software and document it on the foodsharing dev blog.
