👼 The Fairphone Angels Program (Local support by community members) - Offers and questions

[anon9989719]

Apologies ~ poor directions. Just start a new topic giving details.

There is a guide

How to handle water damage

Since this happens again and again and there is a lot of useful info on the forum, but people usually read it too late I’ll gather it here in hope that you read it before this happens to you. This is a #wiki so feel free to add info by editing the post. First things first: Turn off and take apart If your phone comes in contact with water and there is even the slightest chance that some droplets or moisture entered it then turn off the phone immediately. The fastest, and only in…

Thanks for offering to join the FP Angels program!
Would you prefer to have Ferney Voltaire or Geneva as your angels spot in the map (and the angels group will also be named after the “home town”)?
BR,
Volker

I just checked the distance between both places and – given it is just 7-8 kilometres – would strongly suggest to label the heaven GENEVA.

Hello. I would like to become a Fairphone Angel for the Prague area (Czechia). I hope this could inspire more people from my country to try Fairphone out.

[Volker]

Thank you very much for volunteering as a new Angel in Prague!
I’ve added you to the Angels group, created a new Angels “Heaven” for Prague and sent you pm regarding the first steps into the Angels area. As soon as the Prague/Praha Angels e-mails are configured I’ll inform you.
So stay tuned and keep asking in case of any questions!

Hello,
When I just had issues with my Fairphone 3 and the forum hadn’t any results yet, I was thinking it’d be really great if there had been an Angel (and big place like Brussels should have one).

I’m not super active in the forum but I guess that’s not a major deal per se? Fairphone has been my first-ever smartphone and I’ve been showing the concept & principle to many people I met and asked about the phone. I figured, why not also support folks that already have one when they’re in need of help. So hereby I’d like to volunteer as Angel in Brussels - happy to hear about any follow-up steps if you think it’s a good fit.

[Volker]

Thank you very much for volunteering as a new Angel in Brüssels!
I’ve startet the “onboarding process”. Meanwhile please feel free to ask in case of any further questions.

[Volker]

@Razem and @glotzbach :
New Angels Heavens in Prague and Brussels have been fully created, so according mails should be reachable now and new dots can be found on the Angel Map

[Antoine]

Dear @Archangels,

I’m both happy and sorry to announce you that due to my move to Paris in the end of August, you’ll have to close the Montpellier heaven, unless there would be someone else applying for it…

But I will happily continue to be an Angel in the French capital, from September onwards!

[Volker]

Sorry that Montpelier will have to be closed down, but great that you’ll stay as angel in Paris!
I’m planning to do the organizational change end of August.

Hi,
I would like to become a fairphone angel in Finland.
Town where I live is called Järvenpää. It is about 32km from the capital city Helsinki.

Best regards,
Juhani

Hey Juhani!
Thanks a lot for volunteering as a Fairphone Angel! You should soon receive a DM from me with instructions for the boarding process
In any case, please take your time to discover the community and read over on the forum
Oh, and welcome to the forum

Hi Juhani, I am a Finnish FairPhone owner based in the UK. I visit Helsinki regularly. Let me know if you need any help.

[Alex.A]

You may want to start a topic in #participate:local to regroup the Finnish Fairphoners, that we could add to the #addressbook, rather than discussing here

[yvmuell]

There is already a general Finland Topic which is linked in the addressbook as well, maybe we should open this?

@Alex.A you might want to correct the addressbook as its currently Finland France and again Finland?

[Alex.A]

Thanks @yvmuell, corrected.
Indeed the finnish topic is here

@yvmuell

you might want to correct the addressbook as its currently Finland France and again Finland?

Seems I don’t know my alphabet…

[Juhani_Virtanen]

Terve,
Käyn välillä Helsingissä toimistolla, niin ilmoittele kun olet maisemissa, niin käydään kahvilla.
Itselläni on tällä hetkellä kokemusta ainoastaan fp4:sta, joten neuvoja kyllä tarvitaan.

Terveisin,
Juhani

Hi everyone ! I’d like to be a fairphone angel in Geneva, Switzerland

[Volker]

Hi @Tomtom ,
thanks, that’s great news!
I’ll start your “onboarding process” as soon as possible (but please be aware that it may still take some days until then).

[Tomtom]

OK thanks ! No worries there’s no hurry
