European Fairphoners Community Trip to Amsterdam (#EFCT16) (22-28/8/16)

There’s a poll going on until Sunday, where you can vote for your favourite workshops and social activities at the #efct16.

:arrow_right:To the poll :slight_smile:

This weekend is the last chance to vote!

Hey,

I live near Amsterdam so I’m interested in coming (but not staying at night). I know I won’t come every day, that’s cause I have to work. I can even come in the afternoon and then come to work if my roster is planned for the evening. But I don’t know my roster yet for august.

I wish you all a lovely stay in Amsterdam!! :smiley: and maybe I make something in the kitchen for you all, fairfood :wink:

There is also Bits of Freedom. Like I said before, they should be interested in many of the concepts of Fairphone. If you want a workshop to have exposure, they can for example advertise it on their webpage. Same for Consumentenbond. And Xs4all perhaps?

Hey all,

I’d like to propose another workshop: a Urban Mining Manual Booksprint!

As you might know the Urban Mining Manual is now a designed PDF. This looks nice, but has proven to be holding back translations and community updates to the document.

So I would like to free the Urban Mining Manual and transfer it’s contents to an open platform named Booktype. Booktype is Open Source software and allows for collaborative writing, editing, designing ánd translating of documents like the Urban Mining manual. The result can be easily exported to various formats, both open and closed.

I think if I make sure everyone who wants to join is set up with accounts, and all participants spend 30 minutes reading the documentation of Booktype, we can easily transfer the Urban Mining Manual to this open platform in a few hours.

What do you think? Will it fit in the schedule?

And another idea:

Movie night at Fairphone!
The Director of When Elephants Fight wants to do a Q&A with us if we screen his documentary at the office.

How about stone-oven pizza and popcorn and a good discussion afterwards?
Where is the schedule and can I see if it still fits in?

I posted the schedule of the #efct16 in the first post. Some more detailed information will follow for some of the events. :slight_smile:

If you have questions, please ask! :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I won’t be able to join since I have to travel somewhere else, work related. But I wish you all a great and productive time in Amsterdam, and hope that I’ll be able to join you next time!

Everyone of the apartment Fairphoners have arrived happily and, after taking some hurdles (they hadn’t told us that we have to check in at the other end of the city, and they had told us the wrong street number “out of security reasons” :stuck_out_tongue:), we are now preparing our first dinner together.

Sleeping at the apartment are @iratxe, @amber, @paulakreuzer, @Stanzi, @Stefan, @Vinni and @werner_noebauer. @Irina_Spitznagel and @Douwe also joined us for the evening to have dinner with us.

Here is a picture:

So do I see this correctly that FP staff gets additional color choice for the back covers?
:wink:

Looks nice in white :slight_smile:

Very perceptive :slight_smile:
That is a test cover from over a year ago. Some of us use different covers at the office as an office with 50 people with the same phone is prone to many confusions :wink:
