🇩🇪 🇬🇧 Fairphone Community Aachen 🗓 15. Mai 2024

One week to go! :blush:

I’m quite optimistic we’ll be half a dozen, and a few have shown strong interest as well, but cannot make it that day.

A really nice meet-up which actually happened to attract a complete “Fairphone virgin” (pondering whether he should buy the Fairphone 2 and pushing for alternative OS options there) as well. Hopefully another meet-up will follow, we have roughly eyed November for that. If you still want to join us, just let me know here.

Thanks a lot to @anon90052001 and the Gang in Amsterdam for generously providing us with the appropriate equipment (I’m talking gear, not beer!)

So how did it go? Can we see pictures? :smiley:

PS: I just now saw that you had posted a pic with a newspaper article. Which newspaper is it, and did people contact you / go to the meetup because of it? :slight_smile:

I have to confess I did not think of taking a photo this time. :fearful:

We were seven this time (= everyone who had indicated in advance to turn up). Three “returns” from the first meetup, four people who were there for the first time. No unexpected visitor this time, so the newspaper paragraph (see further above) did not trigger any spontaneous “additions”.

I had only sent a brief email to Aachen’s two newspapers three days prior (saturday -> tuesday) to our meetup. To my surprise, the one paper (Aachener Nachrichten) which picked it up actually doubled the length of my text suggestion. Expecting I would be lucky to even just get it included in the telegram-style events list I had not included the bits about what Fairphone is actually about, so someone at the paper must have added or even researched it. :slight_smile:

I’m wondering where to go from here. Not sure whether it makes sense to leave our meetups without any agenda at all. But don’t worry, it’s not that which keeps me sleepless and write this at 4 am, but the stormy night here in our three country corner :wink:

Now that the first FP2s are gradually hitting Aachen, we are scheduling our third pub meeting, our first in the year 2016.

Anyone who wants to join us and vote in the scheduling (and hasn’t received my doodle link yet) please PM me here :slight_smile: Of course, I will inform everyone here once a date and venue has been settled for.

:de: Da nun die ersten FP2s in und um Aachen eintrudeln, machen wir uns daran, einen Termin für unser drittes Treffen zu finden. Wer dabei sein und abstimmen möchte über den Termin (und von mir nicht schon mit einem entsprechenden Link beschickt worden ist), setze sich bitte mit mir hier über PM in Verbindung. :slight_smile: Ich schicke Euch dann so bald wie möglich einen doodle-Link zu.

Ich habe es mal in meinen FP Kalender eingetragen:=)

Ich bin auch dabei. Habe mir den Tag freigenommen und werde wohl bereits ab Mittag bzw. frühen Nachmittag die Zeit in Aachen verbringen.

Als FB-Verweigerer kann ich mich natürlich nicht beim verlinkten Event eintragen :wink:

A truly nice evening – just as if it had been “the first time” :wink: all over again. It was an almost 50/50 group – five FP1s & four FP2s (and four :woman: and five :man:, too :wink: )

Thanks to all who had pledged to come (they turned up without exception :thumbsup: ) and our bonus guests :smile:

Hat tip back to @Stefan and the Vienna Gang!

I think we can claim that Aachen Fairphoners’ 4th meeting was quite a success, totalling a completely unexpected 13 attendants – 6 of these not Fairphone owners (yet) and all curious about the FP2. The CFP2 proved the perfect fit for that set, allowing the newbies to get the best possible first hand experience. At the same time, our group of experienced FP2 owners was able to answer all questions and also generously helped me out time and again when I kept failing to enumerate the complete set of all fairtraded conflict minerals in the FP2 :wink:

All those attending who did not own a Fairphone clearly confirmed that it was the newspaper announcement (see above) that made them aware of the meeting and turn up. Let me specify that unlike before our previous three meetings, the announcement had appeared in the paper relatively long in advance (14 October 2016); our previous meetings had seen the announcement published just 1-2 days in advance.

The meeting only completely dissolved after almost three hours, with the first participants having arrived even before the host :innocent:

To be continued!
