[Vesna Manojlovic]

	(tl;dr https://wiki.techinc.nl/Tea_%26_Networking/2022-02-17 )

Dear all,

here are the notes from the meetup of (Amsterdam-based) connectors, 
hacktivists, artivists (artists / activists), digital/humanities 
academics & (self-diagnosed) tech-pessimists... [0]

We had our 3rd “borrel”, the most busy of all: 11 people in total showed 
up: Donna, Tessel, Douwe, Karla, Lotte, Risa, Emile, Maxigas, Juli, 
Zsolt, and myself (Vesna).

We enjoyed the low-tech, old-fashioned, in-person, informal friendly 
chit-chat over tea... and it was interesting & informational, lots of 
inspiration & ideas, plans to follow up on...

CALL TO ACTIONS:

* subscribe to the mailing list, if you want to be emailed  with 
updates!  https://lists.ghserv.net/mailman/listinfo/17-meetings

* join us next times: 17th March & 12th April (because 17th falls on 
Easter Sunday..).

* volunteer(s) needed to help organising: choose the location & help 
spread the word, take notes, make tea...

We’ve shared with each other job openings & volunteer positions & other 
opportunities; events of interest; books we’ve published & read; 
workshops we’ve attended. We’ve brainstormed about the locations for the 
next 2 events — preferably somewhere new each time.

I’ll just type in some of the things we’ve shared — if I’ve missed YOUR 
contribution, please send it to the list.

Hope to see you soon!

Stay safe & stay in solidarity, in these literal & symbolically stormy 
times!

Ciao,
Vesna

To start with, we’ve learned history of our meetup location [1] : 
Volkskamer, ex Oostade theatre (now moved to CC Amstel), and a woongroup 
- one of the rare remains of the squatters movement in Amsterdam [2].
