The responses to the Edgeryder Festival Call so far have shown that Berlin will be one of the hotspots for the “real life” meetings, events and workshops during the Edgeryders festival. (others are Brussels, Warsaw and Stockholm for example).
Especially the events planned n berlin will be very hands-on workshops and hackathons as it fits the community there very well.
This means that we need to have locations for hose events.
@mrchrisadams and @Jaaacob you indicated beeing able to help to find locations, could you maybe share links to the places you have in mind and say something about their availability or how long before we would need to book?
@ all the other community members from of familiar with berlin, please also add if you know good spaces in the city.
And also: Please sign up for the Festival and tell us where and how you would like to participate here:
@ those who would like to contribute a talk in berlin like @pbihr, @BlackForestBoi, @JollyOrc and @mrchrisadams, please post a quick estimate of your needs (space for how many people, for how long, food?, tables?, beamer?, Electricity?..)
There’s a venue ran by my friends with a kitchen, in Neukolln, that I would always love to support - we did Culture Culture there in May. It’s an art/biohacking space run by a collective. But it’s not very big
Another idea would be to tie it with events we’re organizing with the NGO I co-founded in Berlin, Experimentelle Zukunfstlabor - we have a long-term partnership with German Federal Association for Sustainability and they offered us spaces for free in their office, which is pretty well located between Kreuzberg and Mitte.
Hello dear Edgeryders and great Tech for Good event developers in Berlin.
Ideas have developed.
@mrchrisadams and @BlackForestBoi both want to have their main workshop on the 22nd. We were wondering if you would like to/could have it in the same location if one of the options is big enough for two groups of up to 20 people if I understand correctly?
That would allow us to work together for set up and food and the participants could meet up during the lunch break for some cross-pollination?
@pbihr, maybe your talk could fit in there in the evening? Or the following day, since Olivers team will stay around for multiple days. (which means they also look for sleepable places if possible)
Please reinvigorate this thread and discuss and plan if you would like to join and were, and if not, still where else those events could happen independently :).
Sorry I’ve been missing calls, so I’m not 100% up to speed; Chris, reckon some smart city / responsible tech governance related talk would add value to your current plans?
hi @pbihr - yes, that would definitely help provide some useful context.
The stuff I had in mind for running was a half day, afternoon workshop.
I’m wondering whether, assuming we are able to use the same venue, it might be worth finding a selection of speakers to provide some context, in the morning.
Just now stumbling over this thread. Sorry for the late enter!
So the Hackathon we planned will be during the whole weekend from 22-24. Topically it seems as if there are quite some overlaps, and it would be great to be able to bring together the whole community.
I figured it would be nice if a potential location we shared has the ability to still split the groups for their specific purposes on the 22nd. In our case we want to make quick intros of the participants/projects and the schedule of the weekend itself and then later go into socialising. Saturday morning is probably the Warm Data Lab about sustainability and then hacking/making until Sunday evening.
I guess we are going to be around 40 people.
To all of the organisers in Berlin: How would you like next week’s community call focusing on coordinating locally overlapping events?
