Hi everyone,

Thanks for a great summit this weekend, really nice to meet so many of you.

I would like to suggest the idea of making CC Salon events/lineups across juristictions. We've tried it once in the nordic countries and that worked quite well.

Joint funding, joint logistics planning, joint marketing materials etc.

Thanks Mathias & Pro. Any thoughts on what information we should note
regarding micro-projects? Would something like this suffice, or are we
looking for more details? What details?
