Summarising conversations in different threads…
The link between openvillage, edgeryders and the festival has not been articulated clearly as @albertorey and @Scigrades and others in the community have pointed out.
It’s something we are struggling with- Pieter has kindly offered to help do a simple visualisation once we have done a first writeup. Openvillage, and edgeryders in general, is a response to systemic problems. People come at them from different angles, this is my own whereas Alberto Cottica’s is here and if you trawl through the edgeryders conversations throughout the years there are hundreds of conversations, each containing a piece of the puzzle. Over the next couple of days and weeks we will be hammering away at it with anyone and everyone who wishes to get involved. @Matthias is already here in Brussels, we’re meeting @Mariekebelle this evening to drink and chat at a winebar near here (Rubik) @ewoudvenema is dropping by tomorrow, and it’s one of the things we will be working on with @Matteo_Uguzzoni in the Power pitch workshop on Friday and Saturday.
As far as what is already here:
We have a number of spaces on the platform. They’re currently not easily accessible, but will be changing this so that visitors to edgeryders.eu can get to them directly from the top level links in the hamburger menu- they will replace several of the ones which are currently there. We are also looking updating their contents to make clear connection with OpenVillage, and then adding links to them from the openvillage menu:
- Blog where deep" interview and "all together now" blogposts can be found: https://edgeryders.eu/en/page/newblog
- Channels where stories, blogposts etc are sorted by topic: https://edgeryders.eu/channels
- Arrivals where edgeryders videos interviews can be found: https://edgeryders.eu/arrivals
… What do you think?
