Currently foodsharing.de allows people to use all the yummy food that would otherwise be thrown out for the rats to eat. Most of this food comes from nice supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, markets market stands and they are all happy that there their food surplus is collected and shared by Foodsavers from foodsharing.
The foodsharing.de website is the glue to connect all the people together and to make this happen, it does things like:
...
Once someone has collected the food they can do whatever they want with it except throwing it away or selling it. One can make the saved food into food sculptures (and share it afterwordsthem afterwards), eat it all and get fat, give it to some of the nice new Syrians, have a party, make a gift to your neighbors, share it in one of the 300 fair-share points OR take pics of the saved food and put it back on foodsharing.de for regular ol' users to collect (anyone wants a banana?).
...
yunity is the magic software to make this happen. foodsharing.de can use this software to run it's its website, but then so can catsaving.fr, plantsaving.it, boardgamesaving.co.uk.... you get the idea. This is part of the open source concept.
The greater benefit is having a single community, which will be hosted accessible via yunity.org. It will also be the one that powers foodsharing.de and other related communities like flowersaving, carsharing, itempooling... . All members of yunity.org can talk to members of other communities, like as if they would be living in a big housing cooperation.
