OK Italia Meetup - Bologna - Thursday 24th March 2016 6pm
@sirmmo@francescadechiara i am wondering whether a weekend would be better (as per the call). For me 21,22,23 are likely out as I am travelling now to Rome on the 22nd.
I also suggest we do a poll and give an option for in person (in Bologna) or online (by hangouts). Either way suggest we aim for an afternoon or evening (say 3-4h) with perhaps a meal (if in person).
@sirmmo@francescadechiara I’ve added a poll now - can you please check if these times are feasible (and if these do not work or there are others e.g. Saturday or Sunday that would work please say asap).
@francescadechiara As you are almost certainly essential could you confirm exactly what times would work for you out of thursday / friday and saturday.
I an increasingly of the sense that even if some of us meet in person in Bologna some people will join via hangout.
@rufuspollock
In this period I really difficult to move from Trento.
You have also to add that this is the week of Easter.
Bologna it is easier to reach but I need more time to reschedule my activities.
I am very sorry to don’t have the opportunity to meet you .
Since 2010 I’m carrying the name of Open Knowledge in Italy under the motto “talking & making”.
As long as you will remain in Italy?
@Sirmmo if we do do in person in Bologna can you arrange a convenient space? Would you also be able to provide a good internet connection so others can join via hangout.
@francescadechiara / @sirmmo / @maurizio_napolitano who should we specifically be inviting to join via hangouts - remember the primary purpose of this meeting will be to look at next steps for OK Italy (not “openness” in general in Italy).
@rufuspollock right! Our goal is collecting all the people involved under the “hat” OK Italy here with precise identity and actions. We love study how break the obstacles to increase the open knowledge and create tools to join people.
Hi everyone! Once established the meeting will be on thursday evening, deending on the real-life attendance I can propose my team’s office (Via Castiglione 28, we can host up to 15 people and have good internet connection) or another venue (always reacheable in central Bologna with decent Internet).
I know of around 8-9 live attendees, so the first location could be feasible.
Hi all, my name is Annalisa, I work in HE in the UK but I’m from Italy. I recently discovered about OK Italia and I’d love to contribute, if and whenever possible. I’ll be following this meetup via hangout
Great. Let’s aim to meet there. What time is the space free from?
In terms of time I can do 2pm or 6pm but imagine 6pm is better for most people to join as they have work during the day (please shout if you really think we should do 2pm).
The location is correct, Via Castiglione 28, Bologna. I work here, so the location is already open before and we have wi-fi, so if you arrive a bit early and want to use our wi-fi connection waiting for the meeting, there is no problem with that. @francescadechiara will be here from 4.30-5.00. I just have a call from 4 to 4.30.
Talk soon!
