New location needed for the Ouishare Summit

RC Ruxandra Creosteanu Public Seen by 108

Dear all, as you may know, for personal reasons, I can not organize the Ouishare Summit in Romania any more. Therefore we need a new location for the Summit for the dates of the 15th to the 18th of September.
With @francesca we were thinking, it would be maybe nice to organize it in Munich (it would be in the same time with the Oktoberfest, so it might be fun). Who's motivated?

hi guys, I guess we need one of the team (either Munich or Amsterdam) to make a proposal with some dates in this loomio post, so that people can tell if they're motivated or not ? :-) cc @amandajansen @davidwe

Hi all! I am sorry for aswering so late! I have been working around Synergy Hub intensely and suggesting several times to do the summit there. There is a big event coming up in October, so logistics are a daily discussion. With how many might we be this time? It seems hosting over 30 people might cause difficulties and during October it might be impossible. The discussion is still going on about how many the could host.. and not clear. As a hackspace and small village it's pretty emergent.

And this might be Rotterdam @maud1 ;-)

How many is always hard to evaluate @amandajansen but average is 30 to 50 people... if there is enough anticipation of the dates!

Hello guys, I have a proposal: why don't we 'skip' this summit and move on to the next one, or at least plan for one in early 2017? October is tomorrow, november as well, and december .... well is feasible but still very close.

I have the impression that we will not have many people this fall that will be available (my own calendar is super full already, I really cannot be sure I will be in this time again) so ... why don't we start to plan 5-6 months ago and block a cool date in a nice location that everyone can attend? Just an idea :)

I support this idea, organizing a global summit before the end of the year sounds to me quite difficult by now! Let's anticipate winter 2017!

I can find myself well in the idea @benjamintincq First when no huge event was planned OuiShare was super welcome. And still is in the Synergy Hub. But logistics are a bit tight now. Possibly we can offer much more experience and space from an easier point in time. As well that it is good to rest and have a moment of silence I heard now.. running forward to acceleration of global change and impact expected from October. ;-) Not to mystify it, but there will be a huge event on this in Rotterdam. And silence is seriously a part of the program in this.

Ok with me, maybe I can welcome the summit in our farm if we have finalized the deal before 2017 ;-)

@benjamintincq ´s proposal makes sense to me. As said, Munich team is happy to host next summer. If similar dates are expected (e.g. for some to celebrate Octoberfest) we would need to make the booking in time though to get a nice location & prices (for which we already have a nice list of venues ;) )

I would also like to suggest Porto/Lisbon as a location for the next Global Summit. I have experience organising events in both locations and I can easily activate contacts with potential partners, venues and accommodation. Let me know if you want to discuss this!
