Nathalie could do more testing in co-working tomorrow (if she joins)
feedback issue? high demand bug fix
if not now def next
but maybe nowâŠ
workshop Göteborg
Bruno has an idea!
karrot focused work, get together for the team, onboard new contributors like Wilhelm and others
foodsharing Sweden project side; Nathalie & Butze lots of experience with foodsharing, foodsharing focused workshop, maybe started outreach already and there is interest from other cities in the region
Bruno can organise places to stay
connections hard to establish online, get more Swedish people on board!
Bruno & Butze talked about March, spring-time
finance with project money as part of the development money (~7000âŹ)
reactions
checking the Bristol days pad (2300 EUR inc. Airbnb)
2k-3k sounds feasible
thinking about how much for travel expenses and how much for development
more interested in number 1 (Karrot)
can imagine being a guest for a workshop on number 2
donât know much about food safety. is it a big topic there? B: not really
Butze seems really interested, better candidate to lead this, maybe he could even bring Anton?
it would feel odd if introduced as a person from FS Germany
invite someone from Foodsharing is an idea
think we should start planning this now
the sooner we get to it the more likely
how long could it be? a week?
Bruno: could be as long as you wish! maybe span over 2 weekends, flexible from my side. have one whole weekend in this time frame
March/ April seem good
people are happy when spring starts, there is also a forest close by
Bruno to start with outreach campaign already
âHow to organise your groupâ workshop
could even do sociocracy input
get even more funding!
funding: https://www.thecatalyst.org.uk/current-projects/kindling/
Deadline to apply: Noon, 21 November 2025
continue conversation in thread
could do collaborative writing to apply, but seems very easy
needs at least one person committing to go in person
We wonât fund:
Activity that takes place outside the UK
Projects unrelated to tech justice
Large capital purchases (e.g. buying equipment)
Work that is already fully funded elsewhere. This does not include additions to previously funded activities.
funding for karrot? a bit more of a sub-project (one specific feature/ aspect)
could send them a question explaining karrotâs situation

manage shared resources

nlnet/ strategy
deadline 1st of Dec
Nathalie:
excited to use excalidraw, summary of topics
use our strategy notes to draw out some software ideas for NLnet
do have time to come up with a collection of ideas
How much text it needs??? Bit less motivated to write these things
Vas:
would be great if we make it! but quite tight deadline, would feel a bit sad if we didnât tryâŠ
tomorrow traveling, maybe can join co-workingâŠ? need to checkâŠ
was involved in the two previous proposals
text should be quite to the point, title and small paragraph
1st is next monday, at noon CET
Bruno:
positive, we should try
not aim for a lot of features
strategy work that we didnt finish
make strategy before the application ? not possible as of now
but we can think in parallel
Nick:
I feel that its worth having a go
very clear, clearly understood things already, avoid vague,
making a smaller application
less items/money
Monday 12 is the deadline, sunday is busy
further enabling self-hosting might be quite appealing
very much in line with our visions as well
Suggestion: Attempt to converge some ideas for NLNet
thread list of ideas, engage there
suite of public pages on self-hosted instance
public sign up for activitiesâŠ.
organising pads in âdocsâ
progressive UI
introducing wide level of complexity to the user
requires design process
Karrot for small groups?
support organizing common resources
requires design process
could be related to IoT, connecting a physical object to Karrot
different activities/ event types
become more general purpose (not ready for other communities)
pair up with a community, e.g. Makerspace
another round
a couple of more defined ideas and one that requires design process
is a design-only task acceptable by Nlnet?
we can always submit and adjust after their feedback
progressive UI seems interesting
public sign-up
public pages
design process: progressive interface (with implementation?)
improve broader use of activities (beyond pick-ups): make it more concrete
