A great and diverse group from Aachen, Cologne, the Netherlands and Belgium spent a three-hour evening on a packed Fairphone meetup full of questions & suggestions on the various OS options and how to eliminate Google from the FP2 as far as possible. Fairphoners „Geki“ Gert and @oli.sax charmed the meeting with magic & sax, and Olivier also tirelessly demonstrated Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish and B2G to all those on the edge of transitioning away from Google. To much acclaim, M. Olivier de Liège also introduced les Allemand.e.s to the concept of a „refill“ (and we’re not talking drinks here, we’re talking potato wedges!) – a request that was promptly fulfilled by our generous hosts tonight 
The restaurant owner had actually revealed himself as an FP2 owner prior to the official start of the evening … 
The meetup would not have been complete without a ritual disassembly of the CFP2, not just attentively followed by several new Fairphoners, but replicated on their very own new FP2s. The Fairphone’s new transparent and black translucent clothes/cases were well received and re-combined with blue-button rims at will. Lots of information was shared, especially on the Troubleshooting-Tool, the Fairphone Forum and the next available Fairphone Angel(s) (@Lidwien you might hear from a Limburg Fairphoner soon 
).
Calls for scheduling the next meetup were widely shared as well as the wish to hold it in the same Vegan venue … September 2018 was tentatively eyed.
I owe Olivier and Gert my greatest gratitude. Thanks as well to everyone (@Ingo, @Monica.Ciovica, @Stefan and probably a couple of others ) who kept advertising the Aachen meetup on Twitter, Facebook and the Fairphone event page and to our supportive hosts in the PZ–Pfannenzauber who provided a perfect venue for us!
