! Important dates for mobilisation and campaign work /short overview / please come back
by Christoph Then 18 May '22

18 May '22

dear all in follow up to our the meeting on 16 May, I would like to highlight the following dates and ask if we all agree: (1) we plan to present the outcome of our report (officially called 'draft') on 13 or 14 of June (maybe 15) in a workshop with breeders (Plantum), Copa/Cogeca and experts from contracting states. This event will be online and likely to take place in the morning. This means we will alert and invite and maybe also allow some experts to read the report beforehand. We expect that this workshop will give more weight to our report. It will b a closed workshop, not open for the public. (2) we then will develop some media strategy to publish the report by taking into account the reactions from the workshop (3) we then will have a public activity in front of the EPO on 29 of June. We will hand over the report, highlight our petition and present some visuals (like 'crying barley plants') (4) we then send the final reports to the governments an visit some of them (starting in Germany). in case we agree, who would be willing to participate in the workshop? who would join the public activity on 29 of June? do you think we should mobilise in public for the activity on 29 of June? thanks for your feedback! In addition please also come back to the questions of Johanna on a physical meeting of our members. Christoph

IMPORTANT: Conference call 16.5.2022 - Minutes + physical meeting around 29 June?
by Johanna Eckhardt 16 May '22

16 May '22

Dear all, please find attached the minutes of today's conference call. Since we've been quite a small group, please come back to us with your feedback on the proposed timeline / events. Your feedback until the end of the week (22 May) would be very appreciated. As discussed at our Meeting of Members, we might arrange a physical meeting around the meeting of the Administrative council on 29 June in Munich. Please let us know if you would like to travel to Munich in June or if you would prefer to meet in Autumn. Christoph and I have to coordinate as well with Eva from Salvia who is going to join the activity and will meet us. So please get back to us soon! >From the minutes: Physical meeting of NPOS members . As discussed at our meeting of members, we could take the opportunity to meet in person around 29 June. If people already travelled to Munich, it would make sense to have a whole day of meeting - not just half a day. Plus, people could join the public activity. . Some options would be: . Arrive on 27th evening or 28th early morning, have a whole day meeting on 28th, join the activity on 29th and travel back in the afternoon. . Arrive on 28th evening or 29th early morning, join the activity, have the afternoon for the first part of the meeting, have 30th morning for the second part of the meeting. . Or else set up a physical meeting in autumn. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Johanna Mag.

Open Source Seeds Crowd funding Roggenzüchtung
by Johanna Eckhardt 16 May '22

16 May '22

[Crowd funding project from Open Source Seeds – campaign only in German] Liebe Runde, Open Source Seeds hat noch bis 3. Juni eine Crowd funding-Kampagne laufen, bei der sie 30.000€ für die Züchtung einer open source-Roggensorte am Dottenfelderhof aufstellen wollen. Christoph und ich hatten dazu mit Open Source Seeds ein Gespräch. Wir finden die Kampagne sehr unterstützenswert, auch wenn sie einen anderen Ansatz als wir verfolgen. Vielleicht wollt ihr die Kampagne auch unterstützen und Infos auf euren Kanälen teilen. Vielleicht wollt ihr auch Goodies fürs Crowd funding anbieten (z.B. Saatgut, Workshops, Vorträge, etc.). Hier geht’s zum crowd funding: https://www.startnext.com/GDW Anbei und weiter unten weitere Infos. Liebe Grüße, Johanna Mag. Johanna ECKHARDT Project Coordination Tel. +43 680 21 26 343 <mailto:johanna.eckhardt@no-patents-on-seeds.org> johanna.eckhardt(a)no-patents-on-seeds.org NO PATENTS ON SEEDS! <http://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/> www.no-patents-on-seeds.org <http://www.facebook.com/nopatentsonseeds> www.facebook.com/nopatentsonseeds <http://www.twitter.com/nopatentsonseed> www.twitter.com/nopatentsonseed From: Bella Aberle [mailto:bella@opensourceseeds.org] Sent: Wednesday, May 4, 2022 12:32 PM To: Johanna Eckhardt <johanna.eckhardt(a)no-patents-on-seeds.org> Subject: Infos »Ein Roggen, der uns allen gehört« Liebe Johanna, ich hab jetzt nochmal ein paar Infos gesammelt, die du teilen könntest. Erstmal habe ich dir einen kurzen Info-Text in die Mail gepackt, dann unsere Presse-Mappe, den Blog-Artikel zum Thema und natürlich den Link zur Kampagne. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, sag Bescheid! :) Liebe Grüße, Bella INFO-TEXT Crowdfunding-Kampagne »Ein Roggen, der uns allen gehört« – Worum geht’s? Die Initiative OpenSourceSeeds setzt sich dafür ein, Saatgut wieder zu einem Gemeingut zu machen. Um das zu erreichen, schützen wir Sorten mit einer Open-Source-Lizenz vor Privatisierung durch Sortenschutz und Patente. Bisher haben wir Tomaten, Chili, Mais, Kartoffeln und Getreide als Gemeingut gesichert. Aus dem freien Getreide ist das Projekt »Ein Brot für freies Saatgut« entstanden. Dabei verarbeiten Bäckereien open-source Weizen aus der Region. Das Projekt läuft bereits in Berlin/Brandenburg und im Rheinland. Inzwischen haben uns schon mehrfach Bäckereien gefragt, ob sie auch einen open-source Roggen haben können. Diesen Wunsch möchten wir gern zusammen mit dir erfüllen. Für diesen Zweck führen wir vom 3. Mai bis 3. Juni ein Crowdfunding durch. Mit einem großen Aufruf wollen wir zusammen 30.000 Euro sammeln, um die Züchtung einer open-source Roggensorte zu finanzieren. Das Geld geht direkt an die Züchter*innen auf dem Dottenfelderhof und unterstützt sie in ihrer Arbeit für eine große Vielfalt zukunftsfähiger Sorten. Lass uns jetzt zusammen direkt in die Zukunft der ökologischen Landwirtschaft investieren! Hier geht’s zur Kampagne: https://www.startnext.com/GDW Unser Blog zum Thema: https://opensourceseeds.org/blog/%C2%BBein-roggen-der-uns-allen-geh%C3%B6rt… <https://opensourceseeds.org/blog/»ein-roggen-der-uns-allen-gehört«-–-gemein…> Fragen gerne an: bella(a)opensourceseeds.org <mailto:bella@opensourceseeds.org>
