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!)

We are eyeing a second meeting this NOVEMBER If you are interested, just send me a private MESSAGE here to get a doodle poll link so you can take part in the scheduling.
Der 2. Aachener Fairphone-Stammtisch findet nun genau zwei Monate nach dem Auftakt statt, also am Dienstag, 17. November um 20.00 Uhr im Restaurant Insel Rhodos. Wir freuen uns auf alle Interessierten – egal, ob schon “versorgt” mit einem Fairphone, noch sehnsüchtig auf das FP2 wartend oder auch noch gänzlich unentschieden und einfach nur neugierig!
Invitation!
Our 2nd Aachen Fairphone meet-up will take place exactly two months after the initial one: Tuesday, 17 November at 8 pm at restaurant Insel Rhodos We are looking forward to meet you regardless of whether you already own a Fairphone, are waiting impatiently for your FP2 or are still undecided and/or just curious!
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?
I have to confess I did not think of taking a photo this time.
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.
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
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 Of course, I will inform everyone here once a date and venue has been settled for.
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. Ich schicke Euch dann so bald wie möglich einen doodle-Link zu.
