I was too tired yesterday, but here is a summary of #NOAW day 2 (the final day). First, @mfeilner gave a talk on his #fédipub idea: https://mastodon.social/@mfeilner/116261607946162297.
I really liked the idea of 'levels' for public institutions. For me, something like this could be useful:
1. Having a Mastodon account.
2. A public press release and cross-posting.
3. Not just broadcasting, but also engaging.
4. Running your own instance.
5. Having other accounts on this instance for other departments.
6. Having an account on other appropriate Fediverse services.
This is to be continued.
For this, @KIT_Karlsruhe and @landesregierung are already at level 5.
@DeutscherWetterdienst is probably only level 2.
Perhaps a better version of this metric could help guide public organisations towards better usage.
After that, we had a brief discussion about organisations and financial sustainability.
In my opinion, there are a lot of possibilities in this area and a lot to be done. It's great to have @swf; something like that in Europe would be great. Different organisations are probably needed to advocate for these new Fediverse services, take part in coalitions for EU funding, and help smaller organisations with the public tender process.
There is still so much to do, but the potential future is really interesting.

Thank you to everyone at @FediVariety who helped organise this event! I had a great time and enjoyed many interesting conversations.
We need organisations to facilitate this kind of event and conversation for further sustainable development.
I felt really welcome at the event. The location was lovely, and the open format allowed for lots of interesting conversations, while still providing enough opportunity to meet new people and have detailed discussions. There was also plenty of nice food!
I would definitely go again.

A few final thoughts on next events:
@jze @anjavoss There are some ideas from @FediVariety to hold similar events all over Europe. I think Kiel also has some nice event locations right next to the water. Maybe this would be of interest to Schleswig-Holstein?
@sabrinkmann @jze @anjavoss @FediVariety
we for sure are looking for places, spots, environments, conditions to create that specific #NOAW atmosphere wherein things CAN happen.
Yes. Reach out!
