Hi everyone,

I very much enjoyed meeting you all this weekend!

I agree with Christian's idea of working more across jurisdictions. For us (CC Switzerland) it would be great if we could work closer with CC Germany, French and Italy since we would like to make CC known everywhere in our country.

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?
