#LOTE: who is involved and how you can get involved too

Workspaces LOTE3 “The unPilgrimage”

1

LOTE is a community-organized event. Everything that happens is made by us and for us. So, if you want it to be great, get involved! Here’s who is already working on it, and what we are working on. Click on a person name to contact her if you want to help her with something. If you have an idea that no one seems to be exploring, contact Noemi at noemi@edgeryders.eu.

All this is voluntary work – we are all doing this on our own free time and no money is involved, though we do hope to be able to fund someone to travel to Matera. If you are interested, we are happy to give you a Linkedin recommendation (profile).

Awesome!

Very useful :slight_smile:

I was thinking that what [Alberto] said about a “mixed team” being a great way to seed diverse collaboration in the matchmaking discussion: the making-of the Halloween party definetly goes in that direction too. There is no going anywhere without the locals’ knowledge of the city, at the same time it is a great wat to get to know the city by getting involved.

I can contribute on this too, although I prefer not taking the lead: I would be glad to put people in contact and get the willing ERs connected to the local resource people but I am sure I don’t want to be part of the organization - taking care of accomodation and ER’s hospitality is already a challenging task, we wouldn’t want anyone to stay behind! So just for information’s sake: who ever decides to take the lead on the party, bare in mind that this whill be a fun channel to get to know the city and its inhabitants, and that in the beginning you will not be left alone :-)… shortly after, I am confident that things will jost (rock ‘n’) roll!

Exactly what is needed

Great source to share with people who was afraid to get involved due to overflow of information! Grazie!
