[Meeting begins: 10:40]


Minutes


Goals 

We want to give a way in for communities to engage with yunity from the beginning on.

We want to help those communities happen all over the world as they will be the users of yunity's platform.

 

One project divided into two :

1. Guidelines to creating your own sharing community (subpage on yunity.org)

2. Wiki section (on the FSINT wiki) / foodsaving start-kit

 

1- Guidelines : less details, inspirational page, more than foodsaving (+ facebook sharing groups, +dumpster diving guide)

 

 

2- Foodsharing International Wiki : strictly for setting up a foodsaving association (detailed guidelines, paperwork example, flyers and other promotion material)

 

Stages :

1. finalize documentation

2. design (make printable versions of guidelines, flyers material)

3. website implementation

 

Internationalization

foodsharing.de suggested a mentoring system: each new foodsharing community around the world gets an experienced mentor from foodsharing.de. TR: we want to enable people to start saving food, not dictate the german method onto them. Why would FS.de get to decide how FSINT will function? Because they were first? BN: agreed, but a lot of FS Orgateam strongly disagree.

If these are to be helpful, flexible guidelines and not compulsory instructions, how far are we actually “allowed” to use the foodsharing material? Logo, etc.?

 

Suggestions

FH: create a simple graphic, nicely done video to engage people - adding links to guideline and wiki section. TR: won't get into that just yet, needs to focus on finishing up the article first, but likes the idea.

FH: Make a teaser video to get people to that page once it's published

- How far would we link the article / video to yunity?

 

BN: Within foodsharing.de, many emails from people all around the world who want to start foodsharing locally. Foodsharing.de has nothing to offer them. Should we inform the person in charge of answering these emails about the guidelines and wiki section once finished, so that he/she can link it to people who are interested? Or rather :

 

FH: shouldn't we get in touch w. product team to make sure we're on the same level with final product?

TR: doubts about clarity of product specification at the moment. Feel free to try.
