1. Check in and Updates
- agree duration 1h
- checkin
- Add updates/celebrations here (if you have any)
2. Discussion points
- some ramblings on the end of nicks check-in
- relationship of tech-centric vs … non-tech-centric perspectives?
- trying to align two groups to work together
- tech in service of the bigger idea
- two layers of economic-logic when working: regular money, beyond-money value (wellbeing? purpose? meaning?)
- the relationship of those two layers differs from commercial projects to ones like karrot, but still both exist
- discuss diagrams: Excalidraw | Hand-drawn look & feel • Collaborative • Secure
- Brunos diagram, 4 parts
- new features alreayd planned/understood
- small bugs, usability improvements, maintaince
- overall karrot aspects, interaction between groups, grand strategy, funding, outreach
- specific spaces for co-ordination and decision making
- Vasileios’s diagram, similar to Brunos :), 5 levels
- daily management, sustaining
- participation, forum, other places where people can gather, research, etc
- funding, legal entity? needs of committed people? avoiding burnout, bigger plans with others
- research/outreach/visibility, academic part (can connect to funding), outreach media content, blog, social media, etc.
- grand vision, more participation, variety of initiatives, prefiguration, solidarity/economy project, processes/vocabularies
- Nick shared thought about work streams (or working groups)
- each might have 1 or more person of responsiblity, maybe a forum category, some template of it
- we don’t have so many people right now, but perhaps it can be helpful for getting new/more people
- emphasising non-developer contributions
- things like our “breaking the silo” topic would make a good working group
- some chat about getting more developers, and different motivations
- possible source of developers → https://www.agileventures.org
- question:
- What could be the next step to evolve Karrot?
- Brunos diagram, 4 parts
- Dave: notifications about applications
- default setting for application notifications?
- currently on by default for people
- maybe should be related to size
- default setting for application notifications?
- call with Thomas Swann later
- prepare anything in advance, or jump in?
- maybe open chat
- why we are there → “we found some things that might be useful to inform the design of karrot”
- if the fit between us is good, then one call is not enough to cover everything, so maybe as an introduction, then ongoing interaction

Karrot groups online cafe!
Running a Karrot groups’ online cafe is an idea that has been discussed more than a few times during the Development call which takes place every Monday.
Let’s then give it a try and make it happen! Let’s share a coffee, a tea or a drink and meet each other, discuss about our groups, our activities, our needs and concerns, our future plans, our summer vacation and the ways we use and don’t use Karrot or other technologies to support our communities.
(And who knows? We might make it at some point to run a real and in-person Karrot festival.)
