Boys with plans

Plans work out

Having the community in your home watching a movie

Some more pictures:

On the ferry. F.l.t.r.: @Douwe, @Irina_Spitznagel, @Friek, Marcel, @Stefan, @paulakreuzer, @werner_noebauer, @z3ntu, @Amber, @laurent_guerguy, @Chris_R, Lydia, @AlbertJP

In the village where @Douwe was born.

@z3ntu enjoying his ride on the trike. Very elegant!

Attacking the Ransdorp tower.

And we won the siege! @werner_noebauer is hoisting the Fairphone flag.

The flag is beautifully declaring all of the surrounding area as liberated from the iNightmare that ruled it before.

Happy birthday to @z3ntu, who turns 18 today! This is (was) his cake.

Mind that we meet tomorrow at the Fairphone Office at 9:30.

The first one (1718) is the nicest shot so far

And congratulations to @z3ntu as well!

Stefan · August 1, 2017, 10:33pm

Thanks to the guy, who was standing in front of us on the ferry!

paulakreuzer · August 2, 2017, 6:11am

It looks like it’s raining the matrix background and it splashes off of @z3ntu.

Day 3 - Workshops at Fairphone office

We’re currently in the Fairphone office and already had some workshops in the morning.

first I spied on some company secrets

Then @Douwe started the day and welcomed us.

While @Stefan introduced the Fairphone Angels Program

I looked around the office from above

@iratxe held the next workshop and talked about a lot of cool initiatives, like the insurance company of @Marie1 (she was there at the #efct16)…

…and @laurent_guerguy’s ECrowd

Hi all guys!

Thanks for sharing the pics. Awesome days so far in Amsterdam. Just to let you know that these days at ICT for Sustaiability Summer school we are working about how modular design on FP or other electric materials with similar design idea impacts on the CO2 footprint whilst assuring longevity. I will share our thoughts and findings on Saturday.
Looking forward to meeting with you all guys!

BR.

P.S - BTW @paulakreuzer, I have brought an spare part for @lina1. are you also going to bring the other spare parts I ask for? Cheers!

urs_lesse · August 2, 2017, 12:55pm

You ok, @Stefan? These must be the first photos ever that show you with a non-Fairphone t-shirt.

paulakreuzer · August 2, 2017, 3:47pm

I’m not an FP employee, but I just asked @Douwe and he said he made sure these spare parts are here for us.

jayy · August 2, 2017, 4:10pm

thanks for inviting me and enabling me to be part of the #efct17 as well as for your interest in my little project was great to see you on skype

Stefan · August 2, 2017, 9:21pm

I thought that the Fairphone T-Shirt is better worn outside the Fairphone office, where it has more advertising power.

Thank you for sharing the details about your project! @ungutknut is working on 3D-printed covers for the Fairphone 2. Maybe the QI receiver can be integrated there.

More photos (and GIFs).

Us sitting in the famous Fairphone amphitheatre, listening to @iratxe’s workshop.

@Iratxe explaining very vividly.

@Amber presenting his group’s answers to @Iratxe’s concluding questions.

@jayy presenting his QI connector board via Skype.

Sito,…

…Indre and Damiano explaining the FairBnB Coop.

@Chris_R chipping in to the discussion.

Thanks to all, who prepared workshops and gave us so much interesting input!

Day 4 - Helping Fairphone + party

Dismantling line has been set up!

Douwe · August 3, 2017, 1:24pm

This is GIF was too large to upload.

And in case anyone is wondering why the gifs are so retro… I used this: Retroboy

Stefan · August 3, 2017, 11:00pm

It was a long day! After helping Fairphone with testing some spare parts we received a summary from @Iratxe and @laurent_guerguy about the SYNAPSE program.

After that some Fairphone team members were pinned down and had to answer everything the community wanted to know.

In the evening @Irina_Spitznagel, @lina1, @Douwe and many more had prepared party games, pizza and beer and we had a great get-together of the community and the Fairphone Team.

Let the games begin…

Louisa_Radice · August 4, 2017, 4:15pm

Will there be a similar event next year? How can I be kept informed?

paulakreuzer · August 4, 2017, 4:36pm

Yes and via the forum.

Sietse · August 4, 2017, 6:15pm

Enjoy the last few days in Amsterdam. This weekend is going to be blast with all the Pride festivities.

Louisa_Radice · August 5, 2017, 9:27am
