Ronny & Katleen have an idea around birdsong at La Baraque.

NB in 2025 also prepare collective research project that would ideally form a bridge to the next structural application.

Nomadic life of Jubilee

Two possiblilities: nomadically having meetings at various locations/partners, or one partner/locations for that ie Agency. Agency is probably more interesting. Small problem: cooking is not possible. La chose royale @Effi & Amir: was good location for Reading Room, will be a good location for Board Meetings & GA's.

Ciel: Ronny & Jesse are now both part of Agency, potential danger to mix up the two, but she doesn't see a problem right now Max: We could always work here.

Employment Jesse: Jubilee + Agency

2,5 days per week in total, 0,5 per week for Agency. J needs to note the worked hours for Agency. October full for Jubilee, for grant writing (Katrien writes the application for Agency).

Program Archipelago

Ciel: I'd like to test a new map - for instance with my students - with the present code/infrastructure. Teaching in Feb. Quantity of students (approx 300) is a question - how to facilitate the conversation?
