New location needed for the Ouishare Summit

_\m/ let's keep in mind that if overlapped with Octoberfest there may be a non trivial price surge @francesca

Date-wise, there is also the International Workshop on the Sharing Economy in Southampton (Manchester), UK on Sept. 15-16.

Dare I suggest we look at Amsterdam and all go to this at the same time? http://peervalueconf.eu/ ? (Of course this suggestion is a bit nuts) ;-)

Hi guys and tagging in @thomasdonnebrink an @max22 here too! We have been quiet often at the Synergyhub in Rotterdam this week together with friends of mine and Thorsten Wiesmann. It's pretty evolving! And has an amazing new tool for building holocratic groups / holons on intention which is pretty revolutionary. www.synergyhub.nl

We spoke to Meesteren, the development organization, we might be very well able to do the summit in Rotterdam. Now.. about organizing time: could this be light? And flexible? Or teamed up? And.. would be nice to do it around that time Bernie! I'll speak to Meesteren and Noomap / Synergyhub ppl again on Friday.

We could also contribute to a new co-living emerging and practice some OuiShare structures for collaboration to tune / set the trend and help these groups in this emerging concept. Could be very interesting and interactive.

A fablab / next silicon valley in small version is arising also in Rotterdam as well you could join urban sports for fun. All available within the reach of one tram line next door.

Sleeping places could probably be arranged in the building. Thomas said we'd probably be with around 40.. ;-)

How does this sound?

Hi guys,

sorry for a bit of radio silence. We were (and still are) looking for possibilities to hold the summit around Munich. As @simonecicero correctly said, that weekend is also start of Octoberfest which means that basically everything in the city is already booked / ridicuosly priced.
We now are negotiating with the owner of a fairy-tale castle close to Munich looking at core days 15 - 17 September or 16 - 18 (which would mean +1 day before and after for travelling). This of course would also allow people interested to visit Octoberfest after (@francesca ;) )
Sorry to not be able to give you a definite "yes!" right now but we hope to do so this week.

Hugs,
David

Fingers crossed!!

;-)

Hi there,

after days of thinking back & forth and negotiating with potential place owners unfortunately we came to the conclusion that it is not possible to host the summit during that time in / around Munich for a reasonable price at a nice location.

Still we think that it would be a nice idea to have you guys around here for a summit, so we are quite happy to have you here e.g. next year. Another possibility to consider maybe would be also to change the dates of this summit to have it a bit later - 2 months before + Octoberfest was just a bit too challenging ;)

What do you think?

I think it would be a good idea to do it at a later date in October, since in any case, with the summer, it will get too difficult to organize something this quickly!

At Synergy Hub we might have a great leap by making the logistics easier. ;-) That is when we can sleep and work there. There is plenty of m2 available for working. About showers and rooms to sleep.. that is a question, but looks like a possibility and is confirmed at first stage exploration by the foundation governing the building prior to detailing questions already. @thomasdonnebrink
