I am Martina. I am a graphic designer with background in design strategies and human centered design, and have in the last couple of years used this knowledge to work with problems of sustainability in textile and fashion industry.
My focus is “communicating sustainability” with the purpose of altering behaviour and making a positive change.
Visually, I work with data visualisation and infographics. In my project - Counting the Closet - I go into people’s closets and together with owners we research and gather data about their clothes. As a conclusion to the research I provide the interviewees with a report on their possessions and behaviour. Here is an example of the research I did on myself: http://www.martinaskender.com/#/counting-the-closet/

Hey, sorry for my rudeness, its time to introduce myself. Timothée Gosselin, I’m one of the co-founder of the OSCEdays.
Background: Business school with a master degree in sustainable development in France & Québec. I did not really feel “straight in my shoes” in that environment.
I tried to start a collaborative, time bank blabla project after my studies but it went dead. While getting involved in different communities, I found a great playground and met some amzing people at MakeSense. I then was for 6 months the community developer of Future of Waste.
What am I: circular/systemic economics freak and multitask nerd
I’m always sticking my nose everywhere with the need to understand what is going on. My main experience is in circular economy or systemic thinking and I’m now getting into the wonderful world of free and open source, maker, decentralization… Last interests, blockchain and decentrialized autonomous organizations.
So yep. Here if you need help and happy to discuss with you.
Hi @crisgar, welcome to the community - can you tell us a little bit more about the Open Source and Circular Economy aspects of your project? Maybe you can develop your project into a challenge by working with the Athens team?
Dear all,
I Obin Guiako for OSCEDays 2015 in Abidjan. We chose the 13 and June 14 for our local event. I have already contributed content on our page under which we are dedicated. She is French being in a Francophone country.
Hi @Obin_Guiako, welcome - I’m looking forward to see what develops in Côte d’Ivoire!
It’s helpful to provide a direct link to content to make it easier to for people to find what you’re talking about, so that they don’t have to search for it from the main page. So for example, you could link to the Abidjan category or the topic with important organisational information.
Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself, what you’re interested in, or something about BABY LAB? Why did you decide to get involved in OSCEdays?
I am Romain, 28 years old, i joined OSCDays team to help inclusive economy & open source movement to move forward. I had the pleasure to meet @unteem & @Lars2i 1 year ago.
I’ll be part of the team in Mouans-Sartoux, France. I couldnt contribute as much as wanted to OSCDays the last months, because i was kickstarting Social Media Squad. We are working on a manual to support #OSCDays on twitter. We tell you more very soon
Shortly about me, I cofounded Jerry Do It Together 3 years ago : Jerry DIT is global initiative that aims at catalyze citizen collaboration to collect old computers & remix them into funcky IT infrastructures. These computers or servers are powered by Linux to equip local iniatives & give access to locally thought IT services. Jerry DIT movement is embodied by local communities of contributors called JerryClan. More than 150 Jerry computers were built in 12 countries by hundreds of citizen.
I contribute by designing manuals, animating workshops in France, I also facilitate dialog & collaboration between JerryClan hacktivists around the world.
I see #OSCEDays as a great playground to catalyze collaboration between JerryClans members. Our challenges are mainly about knowledge & inspiration sharing, to speed up replication & keep DIT spirit up ! We need a roadmap for www.adoptajeery.cc, our web application.
In the next days, i will do my best to mobilize JerryClan members, so we can work all together @ OSCDays.
Babylab are part of JerryClan Ivory Coast, they already organized Jerry workshops to democratize ICT ! ça va Obin ?
I am Silvia, a manufacturing engineer working as a consultant in sustainable manufacturing and the circular economy. My main focus is bringing these concepts to the understanding and practice by the engineering and manufacturing communities.
I was lucky to discover timely the OSCE community and became one of the organizers for Indianapolis, IN in the US. I am delighted to be in your company. I believe open source, voluntary collaboration and global networking is the future. I also believe that it is through this community and others similar to it that the world will change for the better, we will solve the climate change, economic, social and all other crises generated by and confronting humanity.
Great success to all with the events! It will be a very exciting few days for the OSCE community and all the people watching, tinkering, making, learning, creating and just plain having fun.
Special thanks to the exceptional core team and all their efforts.

Hi, I’m Niels, I’m 34 years old, coming from Halle and Berlin, working at the University of Halle-Wittenberg in Bus. Economics, especially Sustainable Management (Lehrstuhl BWL, insb. Betr. Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement). I’m doing my doctorate there, looking for possibilities to bring together Web 2.0 and Sustainable Development in enterprises.

Hi I’m Mix. I’m from Enspiral in Wellington, New Zealand. I met Sam and Tim (and OSCEdays) through POC21. I make a living though open-source code, and am an ongoing contributor to projects like Loomio, Cobudget, and Hypermarkdown - all tools for opening and distributing core societal infrastructures.
I’ve got a background in Education, Mathematics. In my spare time I’m a sci-fi and gaming nerd.
Welcome! over many meals and beers at POC21@mixmix helped @unteem and I learn a whole lot about governance and collaboration on open source projects, and how things get done at Enspiral. Hopefully this is just the beginning and we’ll get much more POC/OSCE/Enspiral crossover over the next months!
Yes I have started building a site www.themerakipeople.com for our effort. Now I need to build an e-shop for our first trading. I want to develop a platform that people can use as a community distribution centre … Mass order and mass deliver in order to support our effort. My aim also is to provide income opportunities to the respective communities …
by creating a Physical Trading Place
