00:13:11 ants: Can we get a brief history lesson, on what's happened to the GoingNowhere SL?

The reserve money?

The files and documents that people use for production

The staff

Just wondering about how the important parts of the old company could be transferred over

00:14:38 Curious Creatures: cant hear him

00:14:50 Curious Creatures: can you speak a bit louder?

00:14:50 Victor Perron: I'm good

00:14:52 Toma Susi: Just a little quieter

00:14:53 Kez (They/Them): Speak up a bit

00:14:54 Victor Perron: just louder

00:15:11 Pablo reacted to "grateful for those f..." with ❤️

00:15:11 Pablo reacted to "grateful for those f..." with 🔥

00:20:14 Pablo: the form will be added to the website in a few minutes!

00:20:27 Victor Perron: everything is very timely here ^^

00:20:39 ants reacted to "the form will be add..." with 👍

00:21:22 Pablo: it's also been proposed that people leading some area of the event can become members

00:22:09 Atlas reacted to "the form will be add..." with 👍

00:25:31 Joao Torres: The price of the land is around 1M?

00:25:33 Toma Susi: Is that land going to happen before the 2026 event? :)

00:27:25 Curious Creatures: can you 'rent' it from the previous nowhere company?

00:27:41 Olli (NoInfo): Olli for Creativity asking: when do we know if we're going to have an event this year? Bc Creativity needs to start SOON to start the art grant process and have to motivate artists to start their projects. Thanks.

00:28:25 Curious Creatures: Clear

00:28:28 Curious Creatures: thanks

00:28:37 Curious Creatures: understandable!

00:28:41 Toma Susi reacted to "understandable!" with 👌

00:29:35 ants: Thanks for the explanation Pablo

Norg is terrible at communicating. So we know why the company wont run an event?

00:29:42 Kez (They/Them): Question for Ben since you was talking about departments - do the roles carry over from the old organisation or do we need to rerecruit every role?

00:29:51 Olli (NoInfo): Thanks. Will wake people up

00:30:00 Anna Tam reacted to "Thanks. Will wake pe..." with 🎉

00:30:02 ants reacted to "Thanks. Will wake pe..." with 😎

00:30:07 Victor Perron reacted to "Thanks. Will wake pe..." with 🎉

00:30:15 Atlas reacted to "Thanks. Will wake pe..." with 🎉

Replying to "Thanks. Will wake pe..." 00:30:26 Daniel Tenner: "We" the board are not running the event. "We" the community are :-)

00:30:27 Caroline reacted to "Thanks. Will wake pe..." with 👍

00:30:39 yllza reacted to ""We" the board are n..." with ❤️

00:30:42 Fran: For the people that we used to collaborate with the previous organization (I use to run the low income tickets) should we contact via https://nobodies.team to continue offering our help or contact direct to you or any other method? Just thinking in the amount of questions we are still receiving about the dates to purchase tickets or the low income process. I'm so happy we are going to have event this year!!!!!

00:30:57 Kez (They/Them): What do we need to do before we make a go/no go decision and who actually makes that decision, the voting members?

00:31:00 Julia // Juc: To start, creativity needs to know e.g. what budget we have, because that shapes the conditions under which we can let artists apply for funds. When could we know that?

Replying to "For the people that ..." 00:31:24 Peter D: Likely the Nobodies discord is a great place to start.

00:31:41 ants: I think all the leads could just transfer over?

00:31:44 Olli (NoInfo) reacted to "To start, creativity..." with 👍

Replying to "I think all the lead..." 00:31:53 Daniel Tenner: We certainly won't stop them :-)

00:32:01 Victor Perron reacted to "We certainly won't s..." with 👍

00:32:04 Curious Creatures: PS: please mute yourself if you are not talking

00:32:10 Fran reacted to "Likely the Nobodies ..." with 👍

00:32:21 ants: Build will join 100%

Replying to "For the people that ..." 00:32:27 Daniel Tenner: https://discord.gg/Xmj6YbFwSM

00:32:28 Kez (They/Them): Question for whoever is in charge of the website - why was the nobodies dot team url chosen when nowhere collective dot org is available

Replying to "For the people that ..." 00:33:26 Fran: Any channel in particular?

Replying to "Question for whoever..." 00:33:31 Daniel Tenner: We had to pick a domain to start with. We can change it later - we decided to get something that worked and move on with the legal bottlenecks.

Replying to "Thanks for the expla..." 00:34:37 Pablo: this is a complex topic which i dont know enough of. but i understand it was shared in recent meetings Norg held around December

Replying to "For the people that ..." 00:35:39 Daniel Tenner: We will create new channels as necessary and as the discussion grows - for now #general is a good place to start!

00:36:06 Fran reacted to "We will create new c..." with 👍

Replying to "Thanks for the expla..." 00:36:13 Erin: it was communicated in a town hall last autumn and summarised in a newsletters. also discussed with at some crew meetings.

00:36:15 Kez (They/Them): I thought the next call was go/no go

00:36:23 Kez (They/Them): Is it not??

Replying to "Thanks for the expla..." 00:36:26 Erin: happy to have a chat with you offline about this if you want, ants

00:36:36 Jüstin: DOES everyone in the room want it to happen, Chris?!

Replying to "DOES everyone in the..." 00:36:44 Kez (They/Them): noi

00:36:44 Jüstin: Have we asked?

00:37:01 Julia // Juc: Is the goingnowhere.org website officially part of the "new" event, or not? (Notably lots of info there e.g. for artists applying now that would need to be updated then pending whatever changes under the new organisation.)

00:37:09 Joao Torres: I think we're all working with the assumption that it's a go, or isn't it? 🙂

Replying to "I think we're all wo..." 00:37:23 Daniel Tenner: Yes, correct

00:37:25 Joao Torres: As I understand it, it's a go

00:37:31 Daniel Tenner reacted to "As I understand it, ..." with 👍

00:37:34 Joao Torres: Unless we reach a roadblock that prevents it from happening

Replying to "Is the goingnowhere...." 00:37:38 Peter D: no. legal separation for now.

00:37:56 Curious Creatures: from a camplead perspective, i am operating as we have a GO and working on making Curious Creatures happen. if somehow it turns into a break year it is something we will deal with, if that happens.

00:38:07 Pablo reacted to "it was communicated ..." with 🙏

00:38:09 Kez (They/Them): Right, but why is the old website not just being duplicated by the comms team as we speak? This website was built without any input from us

00:38:13 Julia // Juc: If someone were to copy all the content to a Word doc and rewrite it with an AI...?

Replying to "I think we're all wo..." 00:38:29 Olli (NoInfo): Guess we have to

00:38:51 Anna Tam reacted to "from a camplead pers..." with ❤️

00:38:54 Pablo reacted to "from a camplead pers..." with ❤️

00:38:58 Atlas reacted to "from a camplead pers..." with ❤️

00:39:01 Johann Cambio: Will the old company be terminated and totally integrated in this Organisation?

00:39:03 Marty Glowy reacted to "from a camplead pe..." with ❤️

Replying to "Right, but why is th..." 00:39:22 Curious Creatures: i think they need to start somewhere. stuff can change in the (near)future

00:39:27 Frambu reacted to "from a camplead pe..." with ❤️

00:39:28 Victor Perron: Sounds right !

Replying to "Will the old company..." 00:39:35 Peter D: legal separation indefinitely.

00:39:40 Joao Torres: It will be terminated but won't be integrated

Replying to "Right, but why is th..." 00:39:43 Daniel Tenner: Exactly

00:39:49 Joao Torres: They'll be totally separate

00:39:51 Julia // Juc: Can FIST be used again, or is it too connected to the old structure?

00:40:19 Joao Torres: But on the execution part, it can involve the same leads and people that were involved

00:40:35 Jüstin: From Übertown's perspective, we have various reservations and practical reasons we might want/need to take a fallow year.

I'm concerned I'm hearing a lot of assumptions about everyone wanting to go ahead.

Replying to "Can FIST be used aga..." 00:41:00 Olli (NoInfo): Please let's keep fist. Way better than it's renowned for.

Replying to "Can FIST be used aga..." 00:41:04 Atlas: its under AGPL3, so we can use it imho

Replying to "From Übertown's pers..." 00:41:07 Joao Torres: I don't think anyone is talking for "everyone"

00:41:19 Julia // Juc: So whom of you specifically would Creativity people talk to to clear up all the questions around budget etc.?

Replying to "From Übertown's pers..." 00:41:23 Joao Torres: But there's a belief that there's enough critical mass to run an event this year

Replying to "Can FIST be used aga..." 00:41:44 Atlas: sorry, talking in jargon, it's under an open license so we are free to use it again

Replying to "So whom of you speci..." 00:41:44 Peter D: Budget would be me.

00:41:45 Peri Perez Medina reacted to "So whom of you speci..." with 👆

Replying to "I think we're all wo..." 00:41:58 Erin: Can you please confirm that you have stated here that there is going to be a Nowhere 2026?

00:42:11 Kez (They/Them): Who do I talk to about the website specifically?

00:42:25 Kez (They/Them): I'm right here?

Replying to "I think we're all wo..." 00:42:26 Daniel Tenner: No, we have stated we will have an event in July

00:42:29 Anna Tam reacted to "From Übertown's pers..." with 😭

00:42:31 ants: Ubertown is dead anyway... the Kiwis have bailed

Replying to "I think we're all wo..." 00:42:34 Erin: ok

00:42:36 Peter D: GPDR is a huge legal consideration when transferring anything from the SL to the association

Replying to "I think we're all wo..." 00:42:48 Joao Torres: That's not what I said, I'm saying I think there's critical mass to run an event kinda like the previous Nowhere this year 🙂

Replying to "Can FIST be used aga..." 00:42:48 Atlas: and it can be adapted to changes in structure, naming etc

00:43:02 Daniel Tenner reacted to "its under AGPL3, so ..." with ❤️

Replying to "Can FIST be used aga..." 00:43:06 Peter D: that's amazing!

Replying to "Who do I talk to abo..." 00:43:14 Daniel Tenner: Right now, Pablo

Replying to "I think we're all wo..." 00:43:14 Ben Donaldson: I would say we are AIMING to have an event in july

00:43:18 Julia // Juc: What is next weeks meeting about?

00:43:24 Jüstin: "burning questions"… very good

Replying to "Who do I talk to abo..." 00:43:32 Pablo: it's also open-source https://github.com/nobodies-collective/website

00:43:39 Kez (They/Them): No we are not allowed to do that

Replying to "Who do I talk to abo..." 00:43:40 Pablo: @Kez (They/Them) you can reach me anywhere

00:43:50 Kez (They/Them): This is what I am trying to say

00:43:58 Pablo reacted to "sorry, talking in ja..." with ❤️

00:44:09 Kez (They/Them): We have had so many messages from confused people

00:44:26 ants: Norg Comms Leads... we need to ask them to get involved here... they will know about the website etc...

00:44:27 Erin: We (directors of the sl) are in the association. we are also the community

00:44:47 Erin: like bit crap to have this us v them comments when we are here and part of this new venture as well

00:44:57 Pablo reacted to ""burning questions"..." with 💯

00:45:07 Atlas reacted to ""burning questions"..." with 💯

00:45:37 Pablo reacted to "We (directors of the..." with ❤️

00:45:41 Johann Cambio reacted to "We (directors of the..." with ❤️

00:45:43 Ben Donaldson reacted to "We (directors of the..." with ❤️

00:45:53 Another Pablo reacted to "We (directors of the..." with ❤️

Replying to "Norg Comms Leads... ..." 00:45:54 Shauna Blackmon: We're here! 😚

00:46:03 Curious Creatures reacted to "We're here! ..." with ❤️

00:46:09 Edo: Is this the place and time to speak about eventual volunteers supporting accommodation and feeding? Since we have land we can create something solid, involving, and pleasant so to have a higher subscription rate (volunteers wise)

Replying to "like bit crap to hav..." 00:46:28 Toma Susi: I think the underlying legal reasons that cannot be talked about too much are confusing folks

Replying to "Is this the place an..." 00:46:30 Daniel Tenner: It's probably a bit early for that - first we need to get the event to happen this year

Replying to "like bit crap to hav..." 00:46:39 Toma Susi: And also the dance around the name etc

00:47:02 Toma Susi reacted to "We (directors of the..." with ❤️

Replying to "like bit crap to hav..." 00:47:11 Erin: I meant specifically the comments from joao not the entire conversation.

00:47:25 Toma Susi reacted to "I meant specifically..." with 👍

00:47:42 Toma Susi reacted to "We're here! ..." with ❤️

Replying to "Is this the place an..." 00:47:58 Edo: It's gonna happen 100% now that we have a certain force involved

Replying to "We (directors of the..." 00:48:00 Joao Torres: Could you talk on official terms in name of the SL here?

Regarding updating the website, for example, do you think that's something that should / could be done?

00:48:08 Anna Tam reacted to "It's gonna happen 10..." with ❤️

Replying to "Is this the place an..." 00:48:16 Edo: Well chat later on

00:48:17 Joao Torres reacted to "I think the underlyi..." with 👍

Replying to "Is this the place an..." 00:48:19 Daniel Tenner: <3

Replying to "We (directors of the..." 00:48:29 Erin: no. this is not the sl meeting. we are attending as members of the association and community to learn what the association is doing

00:48:31 Julia // Juc: Can we go out of this call telling ppl that Nowhere is going to happen this year?

00:48:33 Caroline reacted to "We're here! ..." with ❤️

Replying to "like bit crap to hav..." 00:48:49 Joao Torres: I'm not sure how it came across, but I'm also trying to navigate this legal separation, which is a bit confusing

00:48:58 Psilo: So to be clear, the NCA needs more members, but what does it really imply?

Replying to "Can we go out of thi..." 00:49:31 Joao Torres: I think you can tell that there's a strong intent on making it happen.

But that would depend on "us" making it happen.

00:49:37 Kez (They/Them): Are we not already members because we are on this call?

00:49:37 Olli (NoInfo): Don't get me wrong. But I feel a lack of steam in this.

00:49:37 Atlas reacted to "We (directors of the..." with ❤️

00:49:45 Olli (NoInfo) reacted to "Can we go out of thi..." with 👍

Replying to "We (directors of the..." 00:49:45 ants: Hey boss 😍

Replying to "Are we not already m..." 00:49:53 Joao Torres: Not officially, no. This call was open for everyone.

00:50:02 Atlas reacted to "We're here! ..." with ❤️

00:50:12 Kez (They/Them): Right but I voted for the board, so am I a member or not lol

Replying to "Can we go out of thi..." 00:50:17 Peter D: And to be blunt, there's a lot to do and quite quickly for 2026 to be possible.

Replying to "Are we not already m..." 00:50:18 Pablo: the people who voted in the election will all be onboarded, and we will propose criteria for a 2nd wave of memberships

Replying to "Are we not already m..." 00:50:20 Daniel Tenner: There's an official process in the statutes that we have to follow

00:50:28 Olli (NoInfo): Feels like being in a limbo.

00:50:31 Anna Tam reacted to "Can we go out of thi..." with 👍

Replying to "Right but I voted fo..." 00:50:53 Pablo: if you voted, yes, youll be onboarded next week

00:51:32 Julia // Juc: Is the board gauging if there is enough support from the community to make NW happen and will decide based on that until next call whether its happening?

00:52:12 Peter D: There's a chicken and egg situation with membership. Legally, folks couldn't join the association until it existed. Now that it exists, those folks who were part of the voting process will be invited. (being extra technical about the language here)

00:52:22 Toma Susi reacted to "There's a chicken an..." with 👍

00:52:29 Caroline reacted to "There's a chicken an..." with 👍

00:52:29 Daniela M Siem reacted to "There's a chicken an..." with 👍

Replying to "Is the board gauging..." 00:52:44 Peter D: Fundamentally yes.

Replying to "Is the board gauging..." 00:52:56 Jüstin: How?

00:52:57 Julia // Juc reacted to "Fundamentally yes." with ❤️

00:53:41 Kez (They/Them): We don't technically have a community yet…

00:53:59 ants: Is this a one off? Is the SL finished? Or is it just 2026?

Replying to "Right, but why is th..." 00:54:04 gregomon: "Field of Dreams"

Replying to "Right, but why is th..." 00:54:19 gregomon: Build it and they will come . . .

Replying to "Is this a one off? I..." 00:54:29 Kez (They/Them): Nowhere SL should be closed when that gets sorted, then it is gone forever

Replying to "Is this a one off? I..." 00:54:29 Joao Torres: SL is finished. Association would be the org behind the event from here on.

00:54:35 Julia // Juc: I guess whoever sets up a ticket sale in the end is deciding whether it is happening :D

Replying to "Right, but why is th..." 00:54:50 ants: It's spelled C U M

00:55:06 Olli (NoInfo) reacted to "I guess whoever set..." with 😂

00:55:09 Toma Susi reacted to "I guess whoever set..." with 😂

00:55:15 Victor Perron: The bank account is a question of days

00:55:19 Kez (They/Them): Clarity of mud

00:55:53 Joao Torres: As I understand all these conversations can continue on the Discord

00:55:54 Julia // Juc: Any stuff we need to get done until next meeting?

00:56:03 Chris Olsen: Discord: https://discord.gg/6Wrp4zSg8C

Telegram channel for updates: https://t.me/nobodiescollective

Replying to "Right, but why is th..." 00:56:17 Daniela M Siem: Maybe bc data protection or privacy reasons?

00:56:27 Fran: thanks!!!!

00:56:28 Peter D: yes, discord please, request channels to be created, and we'd love to distribute the work to do to qualified and dedicated members of our world!

00:56:31 Curious Creatures: For me it is clear that the nowhere SL board/leadership is indeed part of us, and it is not us vs them. sorry if some part of the community makes you feel that, but know that there are many people who understand it and are grateful of the huge efforts done before, and understand you also want to make the future of nowhere (or new name event) happen :)

00:56:41 Shauna Blackmon reacted to "For me it is clear t..." with ❤️

00:56:42 Anna Tam: Thank you for working super hard to make all this happen ❤️

00:56:45 Victor Perron reacted to "For me it is clear t..." with ❤️

00:56:51 Psilo reacted to "For me it is clear t..." with ❤️

00:56:51 Shauna Blackmon: Thanks everyone, you're all great <3

00:56:51 Toma Susi: Thank you so much for for everyone who carried Nowhere until now and who are taking it forwards!

00:56:58 Joao Torres: I didn't mean to make anyone feel like they're not a part of it, and it wasn't my intention to demand anything either.

00:57:03 Joao Torres: I'm sorry if it came out like that.

00:57:06 Miguel: Thanks!

00:57:06 ants: This is great thanks for the worktouve done as far ive been waiting for years for more democracy!!

00:57:07 Toma Susi reacted to "I'm sorry if it came..." with ❤️

00:57:08 Somiatruites: Thaaaanks see u soon!

00:57:12 Daniel Tenner: <3

00:57:13 Chris Olsen reacted to "This is great thanks..." with ❤️

00:57:21 Daniel Tenner reacted to "I didn't mean to mak..." with ❤️

00:57:23 Johann Cambio: Let's rock! Thank you guys

00:57:28 Joao Torres: I was just highlighting that the old website as is doesn't really mention any of this and it can be a bit confusing.

00:57:30 Uri-Lev Tagger: Perhaps you could leave the session on (without recording) so ppl still have access to the chat

00:57:36 Caroline: Thanks so much ❤️
