We could use this event to launch the GA process :) As we did in 2014 ;)

We should start looking for a room and choosing a date now if we want to do this in December, though. Maybe in Brussels ?

Nothing has been decided yet when that should take place, but I like the idea as previous years we did not do much in December either.

Reminder : this month's Lab is tomorrow, 2PM, Mechelen!

Reporting for last lab is available on the wiki ! For those who were there, could check the reporting for the website subgroup ? Thanks !

Next lab will be on 27th January 2018 in Gembloux ;)

Le compte-rendu du dernier lab est sur le wiki ! Pour celles et ceux qui étaient présents, pourriez-vous vérifier le compte-rendu du sous-groupe concernant le website ? Merci !

Hello, the next Pirate Lab was supposed to happen next saturday 28th July, but many of the people who come usually already confirmed their absence. In order to avoid making people move to Gembloux for no reason, the Lab is cancelled unless a handful of Pirates really want to go.

Le prochain Lab était prévu ce samedi 28 juillet, mais comme beaucoup de pirates qui viennent d'habitude ont déjà confirmé leur absence, il est annulé sauf si plusieurs pirates tiennent vraiment à y aller. Ca évitera de faire le déplacement pour rien pour les autres.

Does anybody plan to come at the next Pirate Lab, which should be on saturday 25th August ? Please let me know :) so I can create the wiki page. However, I won't be able to come to this Lab, as I have already something that day... :/

Y a-t-il des gens qui comptent venir au prochain Pirate Lab, lequel devrait avoir lieu ce samedi 25 août ? Merci de me le dire, que je puisse créer la page wiki :) Je ne pourrai pas venir au lab malheureusement : j'ai déjà quelque chose de prévu le même jour... :/

Idem. I am trying to continue the work on the website though.

Will there be a lab in October? It's already end of September and there's no lab :astonished:
Time :clap: to :clap: get :clap: clapping :clap:

Well there could be a lab in September, but with the citizen list in LLN it's impossible for me this Saturday.

So I'm okay for 27th October :clap:

So what will it be then? :laughing: I'm counting two for Mechelen and two for Gembloux lmao :laughing:
Maybe next time we should ask for motivation or something? Like '"I choose A, 'cause B is impossible for me" or "I choose B, but I wouldn't mind A" or ...
Maybe that's a bit easier to find consensus :slight_smile:

Well, since I didn't vote : it'll be in Gembloux this time :p Main argument : last time it was in Mechelen. I hope there isn't any objection for this solution ?

I like your proposition Ilja, but loomio didn't offer this kind of poll.. (of course we can hack the system ⁾

With OpenSondage (aka framadate) we could do something like pic. Not perfect, but a little more granular. It'll take people of Loomio then ofc. Not sure if that's a good UX?

If there is a decision on date and time: I really like to join.
I'd like to discuss the next elections + approach & prep of next GA.

We will do this lab in Gembloux (see the discussion above). I'm currently checking with Vincent if the venue is available. We will have more information tomorrow.

Also, see the wiki page for details : https://wiki.pirateparty.be/Pirate_Lab/Meeting/27_10_2018 I suggest you to add topics you'd like to discuss on the pad

The venue for the Pirate Lab of tomorrow is confirmed. Please note that it's not a the same address as usual : Rue Léopold 6, in Gembloux (it's just 100m away from the usual venue). All practical details are on the wiki : https://wiki.pirateparty.be/Pirate_Lab/Meeting/27_10_2018

The lab starts at 2pm ! You can add what you'd like to discuss on this pad : https://pad.pirateparty.be/p/Piratelab2018-October

See you !

I added about half of the (very light) report of this month' lab is on the wiki, would it be possible if people who participated in the other subgroups (Elections Vlaanderen, Project AGORA) added their report please?

Next Lab is 24/11, in Mechelen. Find the practical information on the wiki.

Bonjour ! Comme le local habituel à Gembloux n'est pas disponible, on est à la recherche d'un local pour accueillir le lab de ce 26 janvier. Je pense que @patrickinstalle regarde aussi de son côté ? On en a parlé hier à notre réunion de Liège et on a quelques pistes potentielles, avec confirmation rapide à la clé. Une de ces pistes a un inconvénient : la salle doit être libérée à 16h. Serait-ce un problème pour vous de commencer le lab plus tôt, genre 12h, si on sélectionne cet endroit ?

Aussi, on a très envie que vous soyiez présents, on a besoin de votre feedback sur notre travail concernant l'écologie qui en cours durant tout ce mois, ça nous aiderait énormément.

Hello ! As the usual venue in Gembloux is not available, we are looking for a space to host the lab on January 26th. I think @patrickinstalle also looks from his side? We discussed this yesterday at our meeting in Liège and we have some potential leads, with quick confirmation. One of these venues has a disadvantage: the room must be vacated at 4pm. Would it be a problem for you if the lab started earlier, like 12:00, if we select this place?

Also, we'd love if you were present, as we need your feedback on our work on environment, which we're working on this whole month. It would be very helpful to us.

Ahoy, Il est possible d'occuper une salle à Tubize (Taverne de la gare en face de la gare de Tubize) l'après-midi de ce samedi 26 janvier 2019. La salle est gratuite mais il faut prendre les consommations dans le café. Je confirme (ou pas) ce dimanche.

Ahoy, it's possible to occupy a room at Tubize (Tubeke) (Taverne de la gare in front of the train station). The room is free but the drink should be taken at the tavern. I will confirm (or not) this Sunday.

in LLN, nothing available for free :-( as far as I can think

Tubize should be ok for pirates from Liège too, as we didn't have the information on our side either. So if you can confirm it @patrickinstalle it would be perfect, and thank you for your search!

We still have the Nulle Part Ailleurs. As long as people are drinking a little bit, the owner will open for us.

Can we have a decision on this, so we can publish it on the wiki e.g.. We can still do Mechelen if null part ailleurs does not work.

The room is reserved for the saturday 26 January 2019 from 14 to 17 o'clock n Tubize. The address is "Taverne de la gare" Plateau de la Gare 33, 1480 Tubize. It's just in front of the station (at the opposite of the bus station). For the pirates who leave near brussels and comes by train, the keycard could be used (list of the station could be found in http://www.belgianrail.be/fr/gares/recherche-gares/20/tubize.aspx). Be careful for the car parking they are generaly limited to 2h (blue area).
The room is free but we must take our drink in the cafe.

Merci @patrickinstalle :)

Next Lab is on 27 April in Mechelen.

Ahoy ! Is there anybody who plan to come to the Pirate Lab of this 27 April ? I can come, but I wouldn't want to go to Mechelen for nothing :sweat_smile:

Me: one-person subgroup
@hgo : one-person lab

One potential problem I see if no one goes is that it's always possible that people that we don't know will be there. We had that last time in Mechelen, what if this happens again and no one is there?

That's why I'd like to know if pirates will be there, otherwise we could cancel the event on the wiki, hoping that they will see it on time ^{^}

The on time is what I worry about if it's this saterday already :/

I know… But I'm sure of one thing : I don't want to come if I'm not sure there will be at least one attendee…

Yeah, I can understand that. Prob best to just cancel it asap then (remove from calendar if possible or make it very clear that it's cancelled + explanation why it's cancelled).

But it does show a problem to me if we can't guarantee continuity

Let me rephrase that. It's a problem if we can't guarantee continuity while people expect it (and currently it's expected)

Jean-François told me that he would maybe be there tomorrow, so that means we wouldn''t have to cancel the Lab :) He'll confirm his presence tomorrow in the morning.

I confirm that the Pirate Lab is… confirmed ^{^}

The venue for the Pirate Lab of May is confirmed. Keep in mind that we changed both the date and the location. It will be on 1st June (or 32nd May) and in Braine-l'Alleud, at the Taverne Georges (Rue de l'Ancien Bourg 7), at 5min walk from the station :

However, as far as I know we didn't book the venue… @josse (or someone else) could you do it ? Thanks !

Ahoy,

Next Pirate Lab is this Saturday 26/10 in Tubize (right next to the train station) : https://wiki.pirateparty.be/Pirate_Lab/Meeting/26_10_2019

There is a pad for those who want to come, please do tell if you intend to come, it's more practical for those who will be present :)

Our next Pirate Lab will take place on Saturday 30/11 in Ixelles/Elsene : https://wiki.pirateparty.be/Pirate_Lab/Meeting/30_11_2019

As usual, there is a pad in the link for people who want to participate :)

The report of this Saturday's Lab is on the wiki. Check/complete if you participated please :)

Next Lab should take place on January, 25th at the same place in Brussels. The venue still has to be confirmed though. The pad for this Lab is already open for your contributions!

Reminder : the Lab is in 1 week, Saturday 25/01

Rappel : le Lab est dans 1 semaine, Samedi 25/01

Next Lab was supposed to be 28/03, but you know, coronavirus, and probably no possibility to circulate at all at that moment.

What about doing this online? Using a video-conference tool like Jitsi Meet or another. I think @Ilja Baert already suggested the idea a few months ago, maybe now is the ideal time to try this out and learn about a tool that could be helpful?

Is there an open source program that works in the meantime? Our experiences last time were not the best. Could be because of hw factors too, but it would be good to test the right tool at forehand if we want to do this.

I don't remember suggesting this, but I don't mind taking credit :p

• For the IT-squad we've used https://talky.io/bemybigbrother in the past

• Jitsi meet indeed seems an option as well https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/

• We could even install Jitsi on parley (assuming it doesn't take up too much resources)

• Maybe other options...? Idk

If we want to be in time for the lab, we still have this week and next weekend to prepare, so I'm all for it.

The way I see it, it'll need to be

• easy accessible (preferably via webbrowser)

• easy to split into subgroups

• (and obviously, as josse also mentioned, floss)

I haven't really got any experience with such apps, so checking it out will be from scratch for me, but we'll see. I'll try to experiment a bit this week. Feel free to all do the same ;)

We also had someone new planning to come (they contacted the IT mailadres), so we'll need to let them know as well.

@Ilja Baert Before you start installing, talk to me on Jitsi. https://meet.jit.si/pirate

@Josse Ah, you have a room already? Awesome! I'll try to be there tonight around 18h!

I am ready to test jitsy via it's web interface. I join https://meet.jit.si/pirate

@Patrick Installé @Ilja Baert and myself just tested the videoconferencing tool mentioned above (Jitsi Meet).

Globally, it went fine. Some remarks we made are on the pad of the Lab: https://pad.parley.be/p/Piratelab2020-March

This means the Lab can happen at the expected date (28/03), just online, for people who want to join. The link of the videoconference room is this one : https://meet.jit.si/Piratelab2020-March

This info has been added already to the wiki page of the event.

So, see you during this month's lab!
