Some answers are in the FAQs. The others:
-
The founders were, I guess, people that started Edgeryders when it was still a Council of Europe project (more on this). The project started with @Nadia, @Noemi and myself and radiated out from there. But by the time of LOTE1 many people who are active in the community now were already on board.

We managed to build a very radical, high energy event format. Things get done: several community projects started as sessions at LOTE events, including the unMonastery and Edgeryders-the-company itself. But in general, we are not trying to achieve anything except stay in touch: the value, what helps us advance our projects, is in the community, not in the event. The event is simply a way to touch base, start new projects, make alliances… Also, we built autonomy: LOTE1 was heavily funded by the Council of Europe, LOTE2 was community driven but with a bit of money by the COE, LOTE3 was completely autonomous (though Comitato Matera 2019 gave us a building and connectivity), LOTE4 has again a bit of money raised by the company and community.

I don’t understand the question. If you mean “How many people…” look here. We expect many more to come.

So far, the only institutional support for LOTE4 is from Comitato Matera 2019. We are negotiating some extra support.
