Editor's Notes
- Formally, we a a non-profit organization with a goal. We also have a Satzung, outlining our work. (Bring printed Satzung)
- More important, we are a group of individuals with diverse interests and background, who want change. Not to see it from the sideline, but willing to take an active part in it. 2 vor 12 … the comet is coming!
- What brings us together is the strong believe that people on earth need to work together and share the same knowledge about the situation. This is what brought us together and what we started to do.
- In a nutshell we do these two things at the moment.
- Started with a “classic” meetup but experiment and prototype with formats.
- Full list on the website, maybe you already recognize some logos. We had them all. ;) Tell some stories of Speakers: Scott with Baumhaus, Ecosia, Soul Bottles, Premium Cola, etc...
- In a nutshell we do these two things at the moment.
- Basis are the active members Self organized but for administrative things we have a board Passive members (e.g. former, or pausing memberships) Support members (monetary support only) Partners can be venues, sponsors, speakers, co-organizers
- GB Story Important for us: Small but effective “task force” over large member base
- Basis are the active members Self organized but for administrative things we have a board Passive members (e.g. former, or pausing memberships) Support members (monetary support only) Partners can be venues, sponsors, speakers, co-organizers
- In a nutshell we do these two things at the moment.
- This is the input, we also have a little session planned as the second part of the meeting today.
