you are having amazing and insightful conversations here exchanging long essays as well as short comments.
However, sometimes you just need to talk to your discussion partners directly, hear their voice and intonation and react in real-time to each other to get to the next step.
Since we are a very international community it can be challenging to meet up for a coffee in real life.
However, we can do the next best thing and organise topical community calls in which you can start to get to know and react to each other and your ideas more direct.
I would encourage you to use this thread to suggest the topics and people with whom you would like to have a community call as well as the times that would usually work for you.
Even better: If you would be up to take the topical lead on a community call. We from edgeryders can help to take care of the organising and sharing.
So, what would you like to talk about (almost) face to face?

23rd of July: “Things about the Internet of Things”

@julyandavey we would love to have you at the festival, could you maybe join on the 20th of august or 3rd of September? Also: would you be interested in featuring in the call on the 1st of October and elaborate on this: Deep Green Tech Workshop?
Hi @MariaEuler, I replied in another thread too. But would be great to be involved in the festival and could come to the community call on the 3rd of September and 1st of October too if that’s when you’d like me to elaborate on the deep green tech workshop. Thanks
