[17-meetings] Events, books, actions, jobs, needs & offers: 17th February 2022, Tea & Connections

[Tessel Renzenbrink]

Hi everybody,

It was really nice seeing everybody. Thank you Donna for hosting and 
Vesna for the notes!

Just wanted to add a few things to the notes.

At Netwerk Democratie we are indeed looking for reenforcement but it is 
a paid freelance position rather than volunteering. Soon as we have the 
vacature up, I will share it on this list.

There is a call for people to research an archive and write your own 
story about it. It is a paid-for 4 month research thingy. It's a call 
from the Morren Stichting see: https://onsarchief.nl/.

We also discussed possible places to have the meetups. We so far had it 
at TechInc, De Buurtboerderij & Volkskamer. Although we can circle back 
to places it would be nice to have different places every time. That way 
we can not only meet each other but also different places. Possible 
places we mentioned are Buddhapest at WG-terrein. And another one but I 
forgot which one, I think it was near techInc.

So if you know nice places where we can meet, do share them.

See you!

Tessel
