Outcomes
- Having a brainstorming session from the mindmap
Agenda
1. Overview of the possible destinations
2. Preparation: the software, the contacts
3. Paul's Forum idea
Intentions
LS: wants to go into more details within the mindmap, which is also planning
TR: suggests making a whole brainstorming session on this, after the overview and the preparation
JA: want to plan time and details
CM: logistical stuff has to plan first, coordination, creating path of the tour
AD: sure if we have all the same intention
PF: invitation of the meeting is about foodsharing international but not about the tour we dreamt of. If it's only about saving food, don't care if there is hierarchy. Suggests only positive criticism.
TR: strong objection. Without pointing out what's wrong we can't move on form our mistakes.
Places
Marseille (Anna):
Anna is connected to nice communities there inc. Disco Soupe. Urban spaces available for some months. Many markets every day. Has to check the situation. Doesn't know a person that is particularly interested in starting Foodsharing. Still has to check the situation and the space, goes there end of September.
Spain
Arno going soon to Asturias. Small cities but will try to check out the situation and spread the idea in the two largest cities.
Curtis has some contacts in Barcelona, could be easy to implement it there
Nantes
Taïs was there recently, Clément is motivated to try out the software. Five cooperating stores.
Amsterdam
Dutch people which squat community. A lot of dumpster diving, active communities. Selina, Lara, Paul met people in the Climate Camp. They work with excel.
Delft (Simon)
Simon is connected to yunity, tried to start a fb group there. AD: Not sure but think it didn't work out so well.
Copenhagen
Running fine and smoothly, but could be great for using the tool if we implement their tools for it.
Curtis, Fritz and Axel want to visit the garnish project to integrate this.
do they have need or do they want a software or get people who join us
Curtis: surely they will want the software if we implement their needs in it
Edinburgh
making their own platform - not too aware of what's happening. Ask Jess Atkin.
Budapest
FoodNotBombs and many movements - met two people who were interested in starting foodsharing and connected them together
Lubjatnja, Slovenia
Fenja there with many contacts and motivated (already on slack)
On priorities :
TR. Without having fixed priorities because we can split off as we wish, still going first to places where 1. it's already running and we're in touch with them (Copenhagen, Nantes, Warsaw) 2. they've asked for our help and haven't started (Nice, etc) 3. big city with much communities where it could be easy to set up foodsaving
THE TOUR AND THE TOOL
TB. don't know exactly what the software is capable of right now.
Curtis: wanting to empower people to become product managers
(to be continued)
Feedback
Lara: much better than yesterday because the intentions of the meeting were clearer
Curtis: went way better because we had a specific timeframe. Rituals at the start helped as well.
JA: felt productive. It's possible to integrate dreamers and planners, to do it together.
TR: productive overview, gave me more clarity than before when it seemed a too big topic.
TB: I will not attend for the meetings and rather focus on reading and writing. Want input on what you want to hear before the next meeting on preparation and the tool.
Fritz: much more synchronicity. Yesterday wasn't much respect in the meeting. We listened to each other better. Good direction. Look forward to tomorrow.
Arno: liked the topic, beneficial to get an idea of what possibilities are out there
Anna: feeling restless today. I liked the vibe. Different ideas which I hope can work together. My approach is doing.
About...
make a facebook page to connect with people who are interested
there are motivated people and structure is there ? so check it first with a smaller group
Tais want to help people where people ask for help and start foodsharing there. Through the contect we can get a sleeping place
Paul critizse that people don`t know how to do it, they should do it on there own and thats why our world is like that
1. existing contact and want foodsharing
2. or just start somewhere (its a risk, if its not continued because of enthusiasm)
some contects are two years old
write an report to them that we want to start
so we have to be good at the beginning
[Meeting ends: 14:45]
