Food still to be organised but I am in conversation with a couple groups who do catering in bxl.

I will be arriving at around 14h30/15h on Friday to help with setting up the space and making it welcoming.

I add some suggestion for people in remote location.

We can share here some door hanger, posters, banners, drawings, pixelarts, etc (Free art licensed) that can be printed by the team on site this weekend.

Be creative and share your arts style <3

Some ideas (as inputs before conception):

  • Adolfo Kaminsky or Assata Shakur portrait
  • OFFDEM OOO₃
  • share perspectives and propose collaborations (OFFDEM General assembly methodology)
  • anything else?

Hi all,

@how started pad Index for note taking during OOO₃FFDEM
I tried:

  • to fill this index and prepare some subpads for GA session
  • to indicate important info in all created pads
  • license for each existed document

So, if you some spare time would like to “review” current index and other pads? Or just share bellow your advice, your feeling, a comment, etc.

I’ll drop in early on Saturday, since I’ve registered for the EU Open Source Policy Summit and the FLOSS Foundations Dinner on Friday. Looking forward to be at OFFDEM after these more official gatherings :sweat_smile:
I love to volunteer at events, so wherever you need help, don’t hesitate to ask me :blush:

Want to print a poster? PosteRazor cuts an image file into pieces and you can print then on your printer and glue them together to a poster.

Hello, i’m coming in VSL on today, friday 15:00 to help you
