Moritz

Oli is a member of nerds4refugees and helps to organize the migration hub, he also has many contacts
he once started to tackle the problem of collecting the existing solutions out there
he since abandoned that task but still has many leftover lists that he will provide us with, for example, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RXYlXqX29OscU1oLSZZEyiF4ZaVDvS3g1z2jUF9spuQ/edit#gid=241396611&vpid=A2 and https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jbWZl88Zg-7HW_XKnUuEm9-U6k_XFq1KYqUm5pE2_eQ/edit#gid=2120537638&vpid=A2
the nerds4refugees tried to organize this in a public trello project
there are interesting groups on Facebook that we should tap into, such as https://www.facebook.com/groups/refugeereliefactionforum/ and the nerds themselves, of course
Oli is convinced that a European solution is needed and he strongly encourages us to reach out to other countries through the various available channels
there must be other collections (in other languages) and maybe even open source solutions
there are some translation services that we could enlist for our categories: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1004091172946396/, https://www.transifex.com/

Moritz was introduced to Samir by Katharina who knows him through a mutual friend at http://socialprohub.org/, Isabell(e) of https://4onemankind.org/
Samir has a very interesting project that he would like to work full time on in the context of a social enterprise
basically he wants to implement a flexible, extensible, secure software system that is adaptable based on the underlying data model
this could be a huge cornerstone of the social app platform, however, also needs a lot of development time
his general mindset aligns very well with ours and that of the refugee hackathon team, he wants to build open source software but paid licenses for business, he wants empowerment and sustainability, and he wants to conduct interviews and research like Rahman Satti has done

we have even more data
the Sahana template for organizations could be useful for our database structure
we need to start thinking about an online presence quickly
we need someone who does (mainly) partner mapping, management, and communication and who can keep track of events in the various communication channels
