Hey, Noemi! Thanx. Big thanx to u.

By the way, whats the story with people standing around showing some sort of angle brackets with their fingers? Does it mean they just done cleaning? Good.

5

yes… what’s the story ? :slight_smile:

looks intriguing … :slight_smile:

oh, we’re showing off the edges in Living on the Edge

…kind of like greeting each other and the world through a LOTE sign :-)

Connect!

It means connect. Fingers are edges and palms are nodes… whatever. It’s supposed to look like a small network :slight_smile:

small network?

I think next time we need a picture of us playing an infinite game of twister.

Looking at the zen look of [Matthias] I thought it was some kind of unMonk meditation ritual :slight_smile:

Definetely Alberto…

… for being patient, uncompromising and generous with Matera and Basilicata as a whole. For not speaking about innovation but actually making it happen by injecting tools and resources into our territory.

Thank you Edgeryders, for accepting to come to this unexpected place called Matera, and respecting every piece of it, beyond the poor local participation, beyond the difficulties. Thank you for seeing the magic beyond reality, and for making it happen.

Thank you, Noemi, for being such a present, constant and committed community manager, both offline and online.

Thank you, Nadia, for your flamboyant, fiery personality which doesn’t trade professionality with passion.

Thank you, Bembo, for organizing “Le voci del Tufo” and allowing local stories to be shared amongst Edgeryders and enabling Materani to contribute to the LOTE3 in their own manner.

Thank you, Rita and Antonio, for going bezerk running around your ass between many chairs and not sending us to hell when we were pushing stuff online and you guys had to make for it offline. This is a note to be tackled: balancing online project designing with offline implementation :slight_smile: Let unMonastery be the place for it too :slight_smile:

thank you Ida for your precious sense of humour, your linking Potenza to Matera and your meters of knitting done collaboratevely in Potenza!

Thank you Ben, for thinking the unMonastery up and going from practical issues to speculative sessions: and thank you for wanting this to happen in Matera and enabling the process with such respect for local dimension.

Thank you David for your cutting-edge vision of things: not sure we will be able to translate this into Italian and common language, but it stays right here!

Thank you Giuseppe (from Profumo di Svolta) and Giuseppe (from Altamura) for wanting to be here although they live abroad and coping with the unSchedule of the LOTE3.

Thank you to Sergio il Vagabondo who shared and hosted 2 fellow Edgeryders. Same to Antonia Dartizio. A special thank you to them, really.

Thank you to the french OuiShare group and Rémy for the long discussions on collaborative economy and the risks of going too theoric.

I could go on forever like this, there are so many memories.

I guess I feel like sending out a personal thank you to Edgeryders for making me get to know so many incredible creatures and making me feel uselful and less lonely :slight_smile:

As someone I know would say: “facciamoci un bell’applauso”. And let’s keep working :slight_smile:
