Chaos already, more chaos to come.
2021, October.
Yay we’re doing this again! Time to get excited about being in a field of dirt with shiny people.
Time to think about what we want to do as individuals and as a community. As every year, we shape what is Nowhere!
What are the things we want to protect, re-discover, build? How do we want to play?
Maybe it's time to go again on NotSlack and Loomio to exchange ideas and talk to each other.
Maybe it is time to think about Volunteer appreciation!, budget or replenish your team? Before the chaos begins…
And if you're fed up with online exchanges, hooray, we have an All Lead Meeting (IRL) 3-5 December! A tiny retreat in the mountains outside Barcelona with shelter and food provided by Norg, what a treat!
- Also, did you consider making art?
- Did you consider resigning? You took too much space for too long and you know it.
- Did you consider fighting for this alternate reality/idea that is strangled by blockers?
- Did you consider doing this thing you know nothing about, but you’re sure it's gonna be loads of fun?

Want to make MoN better? Worse? Change what it does entirely? Fox is looking for a MoN lead to shape what it does at the event. Put on workshops, make it a nice siesta spot, have weird night time parties there, you can do anything if you want it. If you (or someone you know) can do it better then Fox wants to know!
