[mch2022-orga] Fwd: Bring and Donate

[Niels Hatzmann]

Hi,

This is really cool! There are lots of nice initiatives, I think quite a few isps donated stuff to keep Ukraine online and there are some talks about it which should be super interesting.

Together with Ukranian friends we’ve organized a transport link with Kharkiv (on our way now). The entire thing is crowd sourced, which is a very strong system compared to the classic top down stuff.

As MCH works in the same way I’d suggest to hook up with one of these bottom up initiatives. Also happy to help and contribute to the tent!!

All the best,

Niels

>> Following EMF Camp having a Bring and Donate tent and that it was really popular and become quite a talking point afterwards with people sharing what they had found there, plus the money it helped raise…. I’d like to propose something similar for MCH.  In simple terms, donate your own hacker junk, if you find other people’s hacker junk you have a use for then donate an appropriate amount to charity and take it.

EMF used a 3m x 3m tent that was insufficient for the volume of items.  Therefore it will probably need something larger such as a 5m x 5m tent (or larger) with sufficient tables to go around the edges and some of the middle (depending upon size).  A sign would be good to indicate what the location is / its purpose.  There also needs to be a charity selected, EMF donated to the Red Cross I suspect in support of their work in Ukraine.  I don’t know if MCH has an affiliated charity that should be used, or how a different charity would be selected that might be more appropriate for Netherlands, or if we stick with the Red Cross.
