I think next time we could expand the 5-10min speeches part.
There were slots for 10 five minutes speeches planned but not enough people volunteering fro speeches. That's why some speeches then expanded to take 10 minutes.
It's a pity so few people took any photos at all.
As far as photos goes I think there was at least one person who made a decision not to be on the final group photo. The person probably also wouldn't want to have been on photos done by individuals.
The formal legal default in Germany is that it's not allowed to make photos of people without their consent.
Maybe we could solve this with a tag system next time around. A no-photo tag and another tag that signals to be happy to be photographed.
The formal legal default in Germany is that it's not allowed to make photos of people without their consent.
I find that unlikely because that would make most of street and news photography impossible. If, say, Der Spiegel publishes a photo of a protest somewhere in Germany, did it really get consent forms from all the people in the picture?
The European Community Weekend in Berlin is over and was a full sucess.
This is no report of the event but a place where you can e.g. comment on the event, link to photos or what else you want to share.
I'm not the organizer of the Meetup but I have been there and for me it was a great event. Meeting many energetic, compassionate and in general awesome, people. Great presentations and workshops. And a very awesome positive athmosphere.
Cheers to all participants!

PS. I get it that there will be an upload of the presentations by the organizers and maybe some report of the results some time later. Those may or may not be linked from this post.
