In no particular order these were:

Hello shout-out to all other organizers of regional events,
@thomasmboa @pablocremades @louisebez @hikinghack @nanocastro @squaresolid

I would love to have an informal video call to hear and discuss more about your visions for the regional event that we are all preparing now! We could discuss some earlier experiences, share planned schedules to see if there are intersting overlaps, find synergies of topics and people.

I just arrived in Indonesia and we are (slowly) getting down to the detail planning of our plans here in Indonesia, all paperwork done, contracts signed and the funds arrived on the account. Ready to roll.

Da wäre ich gern dabei, bei dem Video call wie funktioniert das? Jitsi? Freut mich, dass du gut in Indonesien angekommen bist.

Hati hati,
Stefanie

[nanocastro]

That would be great! We are already preparing some stuff for september and I’m pretty sure we can find interesting overlappings .

Sorry, we are having nonstop days scouting here with limited internet and intermittent power cutoffs and can’t make it

Perhaps in two weeks or so i can try to catch up!

[dusjagr]

i also didnt make it
was missing out the correct time and was on the road.

but let’s try again to have a meeting with other regional events hosts. i hear that results from round 2 are out, kinda also. would be even better to have all involved.

Yes that would be great! I am thinking of starting a forum thread for our regional event that I will just kinda update and document about stuff we are doing. Maybe all the regional events groups could do a similar thing, or perhaps there is a better way to asynchronously cross share on this platform?
