Things are happening at a much faster pace here in Gothenburg, with more cooperating stores to come and people writing to us interested in starting a foodsaving community or a share point in their own city. Usually I have to look up stuff that I wrote or documented in different places, so I wanted to start a Swedish version of foodsaving.world, not only with the basic information translated to Swedish but also with more specific and contextual info. That would make it easier to promote the concept of food saving and sharing.
My idea is to clone the layout of foodsaving.world to a Swedish domain, reference it as the Swedish branch of Foodsaving Worldwide, and start including the more specific information relevant to the Swedish context.
I have some stuff written already but Iād really appreciate to collaborate with people from other cities and work together on some general advices and information. Would you @Teddy or anyone else in Ćstersund be interested? What about Lund, @alby? Iām also inviting people from BorĆ„s, not sure if theyāre hereā¦
Also a question for the owners of foodsaving.world. Could we just copy your website, to have a template to start with? (And I really like the fonts and icons)
Thatās a great idea!
We have also had several requests from people who want to start FS elsewhere in sweden and i really think it would be good to have a collection of swedish information.
Do you have contact with people from Boras?
The only thing iām wondering is, if we canāt just have swedish articles here under the category āsvenskaā?
On the one hand itās nice to have something fully in swedish, otherwise i also like theworldwide connection that happens here, and if we have yet another forum, it might be lost a little?
Well anyway Iād be on board and I guess some others from Ćstersund as well.
Nice to hear! Letās take advantage of the momentum!
My proposal is only to organize the information on a nice looking website, similar to foodsaving.world, and definitely we should use this existing forum to be linked there.
Iāve invited to this thread two of the active people I know from BorĆ„s.
Thereās already some nice material here, Iāll be adding some stuff to and if you have more material, put it up here.
the pictures are mostly from foodsharing Germany and Switzerland and are credited on the about page. You could use them in the same way, if you want.
I think itās a good idea to have something like a shiny Swedish welcome page for foodsaving topics. Just like foodsaving.world, it could then link to all other relevant places like this forum, Karrot and pages with specific Swedish significance.
Looking forward to seeing it online!
Are you planning to put it on foodsaving.se, @bruno?
Hi,
moved recently to Stockholm for an indefinte span of time. Before was an active foodsaver in Germany. Plan to connect with likewise
and start with few cooperations. Does anyone has any contact in Stockholm?
Greetings,
dada
Hi Dada, I missed your message here. I donāt know about other people interested in foodsaving there, but we in Gothenburg have a contact with the headquarters of Hemkƶp in Stockholm and they were positive to recommend cooperation with us here. Iām hoping we can use this contact in the near future to activate other groups in other cities. Have you found any interesting initative in Sthlm or people who want to start one?
Iām just finishing the first draft of the website, there are a few sections left to write and change some design. You can see it on http://95.216.215.102:8000 . When ready it will be at matraddning.se
Iād like to make a call for contribution, especially from other groups not based in Gothenburg, to check the content (we probably have difference experiences, so the recommendations can be improved if built upon different experiences) and/or add stuff. Youāre also very welcome to send me material like links or pictures!
I am sorry for not being with you from the beginning, I must have ignored and then forgotten about this (ā¦) but we in BorĆ„s fully support the idea to have all the Sweden-related information in one place. Good job!
I thought I could actually make a small contribution and write a short text about our experience in BorƄs, I can send it to you some day Bruno.
I realize that the page is probably not complete yet but is there going to be some organized information when it comes to juridiska frĆ„gor? Or maybe there is but I couldnāt find it?
I also think it would be kinda nice if it was somewhat more visible on the website where in Sweden foodsharing actually exists - because now the information is to be found under Fƶrdjupning. Maybe we can be more clear about this, something like ātoday foodsharing already takes place in Gothenburg, Ćstersund, BorĆ„s, etc. - here you can learn about their experiences as well as get useful information in case you consider starting your own foodsharing groupā.
Great to hear from you Danute! Weāre planning to launch the website latest on Tuesday, but of course it should be continuously updated, so contributions are always welcome!
Please do! I believe the best place to publish would be at foodsaving.today and then link it on the matrƤddningās website. And then we could also link it on Solikylās channels if you wish.
Yes! Itās the missing page on the menu, left to be done. If you have some good info about that please send it to me! I can send you the first draft as soon as itās ready.
Definitely! I was thinking about a map on the home page. But Iām unsure on how to go about it technically. Any suggestions @djahnie@tiltec? I could embed umap, but maybe there are better solutions for Grav?
Anyhow it is mostly a matter of where to place the information. Mainly at the āstarta din gruppā page? Or maybe a page for itself under starta din grupp?
I would just have made the map and then put it up as a picture if i was trying to do that, but its years since i used GIS so i couldnt really do it.
Then if a new initiative starts you just make a new map(change in the GIS-fil, and make a new whatever it was calledpicture-fil) and change the picture on the website.
Are you still in Stockholm? There are three people - two Germans and myself interested in starting a group here in Stockholm. We are planning to meet again next Tuesday evening, 27th of August. Would you like to join?
