I think we should submit something, and can probably attend too. Andreas, will you be available to attend, if we are accepted?

I need to discuss about our family vacation time. I'd be happy to attend if there is no overlap.

OK. Let's submit something now, assuming that at least one of us can attend, and maybe someone else from the community. As the topic is "Wie Stiftungen das Miteinander stärken" (How foundations strengthen togetherness), I suggest we submit a talk about how TDF brings people from around Germany and the world together to work on a common project, regardless of their age, location, gender, qualifications etc. We can point to success stories of collaborative work, but also highlight the challenges and things to improve.

What do you think?

The format of that proposal would be more a classic one with a presentation, if I don't missunderstand your description. That could be one of the allowed two proposals in my opinion.

It would be great if we submit also another one with a more interactive format (as mentioned on the website 'stiftungen.org'), like workshop, world cafe or the like. That would make it more likely that we get a slot.

That would be great too, indeed. I'm really short of cycles this week with LibOCon videos and the Month of LibreOffice, but if you can draft a quick idea here I can submit it before the deadline on Friday! :-)

As we have limited time (deadline in two days) I've submitted a talk with a Q+A/discussion round. The talk explains how we (TDF) bring people around the world together to work on a common project, that benefits millions of people, and the challenges and opportunities we face.
