Introduction

In order to encourage discussions between participants in the Open Food Facts project, we are once again organising two days of getting together, the "Open Food Facts Days", on Saturday 1 - Sunday 2 October in Paris (at the Académie du Climat, 2, Place Baudoyer in Paris 4e (between the Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville metro stations)) and by videoconference (link to come).

Saturday will be dedicated to presentations and workshops proposed, presented and led by the participants of the project (contributors, developers, re-users etc.).

The General Assembly of the association will take place on the morning of Sunday 2 October from 10am to 12pm. And the afternoon programme will be free in order to be able to continue the exchanges and reflections on the points identified during the presentations, workshops and the General Assembly.

Registration

We hope you can join us on 1-2 October. Please register for the Open Food Facts Days (free registration) so that we can best organise this event and send you all logistical information.

Mini-grants

Open Food Facts is firstly a community of people. Thanks to our sponsors, we can provide grants to let people from all over the world attend to the Open Food Facts days.

These grants can fund travels and accommodation. Our funds are limited.

Deadline for application: A committee (composed of the board and the permanent team) will select the candidates by the 25 of August.

If you are interested in requesting a mini-grant, please fill out the following form.

Programme

Saturday's agenda is wide open: could you present what you do on Open Food Facts? Would you like to lead a workshop on a particular topic? And conversely, are there any topics you would like others to present? You can send your proposals to contact@openfoodfacts.org, or add them at the end of this page, or share them on Slack (Slack is a discussion space between contributors, sign up to join) in the #journeesoff channel.
