Fairphone Community Aachen

Contact: @urs_lesse | E-Mail | Twitter | Instagram | aachen.fairphone.community

:de:  Seit unserem ersten Treffen im Jahr 2015 haben wir offene Stammtische ohne feste Tagesordnung angeboten: Zum Austausch von Fairphone-Nutzer*innen untereinander als auch als unverbindliche Gelegenheit (wir verkaufen garantiert nichts! :wink: ) für alle Interessierten ohne Fairphone, sich nicht nur über Fairphone zu informieren, sondern das Fairphone auch mal selbst in die Hand nehmen und ausprobieren zu können. Alle, die sich für Fairphone interessieren, sind also willkommen – egal, ob Fairphone-Nutzer*in oder nicht. Eines erwarten wir allerdings: Neugier auf Fairphone!

Wer dabei bleiben möchte, ist eingeladen, sich hier im Fairphone Community Forum anzumelden (“Sign Up” oben) und mir kurz eine Nachricht zu schicken, um auch in unserer internen, 30-köpfigen Gruppenunterhaltung auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben.

Bitte beachtet: Ich bin kein Fairphone Angel, leiste keinen Kundendienst und bin auch nicht die Beschwerdeannahme fĂĽr Fairphone.
Für verlässliche und offizielle Unterstützung konsultiert bitte den Fairphone Support.
Informeller, aber auch schneller geht es oft im Hilfebereich dieses Forums.

:gb:  Having met for the first time in the year 2015, we have done without formal agendas for our meetups, allowing everyone with an interest in the Fairphone to join us without any obligations – regardless of whether you own a Fairphone or not. We do set one requirement though: Bring some curiousity!

Feel free to sign up at this forum and contact me (would be great if any Euregio neighbours would get in touch, too). We also run an internal, 30-Fairphoners-strong group conversation in this forum.

Please note: I am no Fairphone Angel, don’t provide customer support and am not the complaints reception desk for Fairphone.
For reliable and official support please consult Fairphone Support.
Informal yet often quicker help may be found in this forum’s Help section.

Original call for Aachen Fairphoners from the summer of the year 2015

Hi Fairphoners in and around Aachen!

…and everyone in the Euregio Maas-Rhine who wants to join us :relaxed:
We are currently scheduling a casual pub meeting in Aachen the coming month (September). There will be no particular agenda and we have no plans so far to formalize this, it’s primarily about getting in touch, but if we can help with any issues with your Fairphone, we might have a look at it as well, of course (no miracles promised :slight_smile: ).

While the exact date and location in downtown Aachen is not decided upon yet, I would like to encourage everyone interested to contact me here or email urs.lesse[at]gmx•de for further information (I will send you a doodle link for exact scheduling).
As soon as we have figured out the best date, I will update everyone here about the exact details of when and where. But until then, don’t forget to let me know you are interested :slight_smile:
Urs
P.S.: I speak German and English only, sorry!

danke fĂĽr deine RĂĽckmeldung und den sehr hilfreichen Hinweis auf die entscheidende LĂĽcke in meiner AnkĂĽndigung, die ich jetzt auch geschlossen habe. :blush:

GruĂź,

Kannst du den Link auch in den ersten Post geben, damit man ihn sofort findet? :slight_smile:

#6

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!)

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!

:gb: Invitation! :smile:

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!

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

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