17th December 2021, BuurtBoerderij meetup
What happened at 2nd meetup of the not-yet-named initiative to keep in touch with each other: people who care about the social impacts of the Internet technologies.
There were 5 of us: Tessel, Donna, Karla, HP & Vesna. We’ve talked about meta-topics of the meetup itself: why are we doing it, how to improve it & what logistics are there / are needed. We’ve shared our resources: interesting talks, events, podcasts, projects. We’ve drank teas & hot chocolate & had some nuts ;-) We’ve sat outside , looking at the sheep nearby. We were lucky with the larger-scale timing: the next day, “total” lockdown was announced! We were unlucky with the smaller-scale timing: by the time I arrived, t he kitchen was closed & I could not order real “borrel” food!
- Reasons for this series of meet-ups:
- keeping in touch: social contact is precious by itself!
- keeping each other informed about our projects, creating cross-connections
- supporting each other: sharing offers & needs
TOPICS: Internet, technologies & impact on society: rights, justice, ethics, sustainability, diversity…
Present & represented organisations: Network Democratie, RIPE NCC, UnCiv, TechInc, /etc , Greenhost .
