Dear open innovators,

Thank you all for an inspiring attempt at the NDSM to discuss open source urbanism. I hope you all enjoyed this break out all though it seemd very short, but that was obviously because I was talking too much. So thank you Hans, for your proposition to continue this session in three weeks at the new spot Westerdok.

Special thanks to Klaus. Your presentation was super, everybody was talking about you. It is so good to learn from Mellow Park and Berlin Tempelhof, so we are inviting ourselves to Berlin soon. Yey!

And thanks to Hetty for having us in your beautiful self built workspace!

quick recap of yesterday's gathering

• The sunny riverside terrace was perfect for our story tellers (movie will follow!) - prepared by Maarten Bruns and produced by Jerry de Mars
• It was hot hot hot at Noorderlicht café when Klaus Obermeyer from Urban Catalysts showed us the difference between the interpretation of 'planning' by project developers, government and end-users of urban spaces.
• Jan-Willem Broekema enlightened us on the purpose of 'open' in open source and the whale-connection.
• Everybody brought an ingredient for the soup - Sanne, Nancy and Eva put it together
• contributions (30 euro) exceeded the coffee fee for Noorderlicht (25 euro.
• The break outs resulted so far in a tune to go with our movies; new meetings at De Waag, TNO and RedNose for open learning material - at STIPO and Pakhuys de Zwijger for open source urban development.

Special thanks to Jolien from café Noorderlicht for hosting us!
