On Sunday, 6th of December, SHE is at Ganas, in Staten Island, NY.

To open the un-conference, a group of friends decides to connect with Robino, who is in Brussels, to see how did he find HER in Berlin.

Following the report of the call.

3:00pm – Skype Conference Call with Robin, in Brussels

-Robin:
Berlin SHE conference recap – goal is to plant seeds for nomadic hospitality
-There at least 40-50 people involved, staying in a place called Tea House – sot of a potential model for nomad base – business selling tea and food in front, sleeping space in back

-Question by Dan: further recap of Berlin conference?
Robin:
-Aim of creating infrastructure for a new culture, gathering ideas, brainstorming outloud

possibilities for making projects sustainable

proposal:
split into smaller groups

• goals:
  • getting understanding of different projects and how they work, learn from mistakes they made
  • find a sustainable approach to funding projects that goes along with our philosophy
  • feelings: how do people FEEL about us selling beer here?
  • one small group for zero-budget approaches
  • pavlik wants to find people who talk about their projects and see how they could work without money

• feelings towards money:
  • alex worked in building open source business and liked to be able to influence "the system" with no

-money ideas

• transpareny about finances are really important, how can we create transpareny in that projects
• pavl

Summary (by George J.):
We discussed "What is a Nomad Base" (or Nomad Place or Nomad Space) in two primary contexts: expectations and function within nomadbase.org.

• Function: After much discussion about what a nomad base/space/place could be and the differences between them, we agreed on a possible "minimal set" of things that a base is.
• Expectations: What does a nomad expect from a base/space/place? What does a base/space/place expect from a nomad? These expectations seem wildly different from nomad to nomad and likely will be from base to base, and between bases, spaces, and places.

We are organising a conference in Berlin where we will be discussing nomadic culture and possibilities to set up a better ecosystem to sustain nomadism in Europe and beyond, for example by nomadbases.

It takes place in Berlin, from the 20th to the 30th of November (or even longer if that is how it goes) . You can find more info at http://sharewiki.org/en/she

Planting Seeds for Nomadic Hospitality and Cooperation

Nomads and friends from all over the world are gathering to share experiences and address important issues that affect us. Explore different models for living and traveling together, create new knowledge, network and document practices experiences for everyone's benefit.

Open Space

Take advantage of the Open Space setup for the weekend to create space for addressing your questions with the aid of fellow nomads. Open Space allows us to have a flexible schedule over the weekend and to fall back on a loose structure for organizing the conference proceedings. At the beginning of the gathering the participants themselves decide what will be worked on.
