👩🏻‍💻 Collaboration of Forró list initiatives - less djungle of event lists by working together

1) 🤌SUMMARY: *Have Forró event listing individuals get to know each other, to give them a chance to distribute efforts and/or find sweet spots for collaboration or merging and thus creating better & reliable overview. 2) 🗯️DETAILED IDEA: *CONTEXT:* There are several individuals in Europe who started to curate lists of Forró festivals or events. Currently we are aware of 5 simple festival lists plus two major development projects with focus on Forró. Each offer has it´s advantages and disadvantages (simplicity, completeness, reliability, findability on the internet etc.). Some lists "die out" after a while as they depend on individuals´ efforts. Nonetheless we assume they share a common goal to create an overview for forrozeiros as complete and reliable as possible. *WHAT is the objective?* - Get to more consistent service for dancers and professionals - Avoid double work / Unite the good intentions of Forró listing iniatiatives and bring individuals together - for better service with less work for the individual - Generally fuel the idea of cross-national collaboration in the Forró scene *Steps:* - Identify & approach individuals who are curating online lists or services - arrange a meeting to exchange on each one´s intentions and vision - find out together if and how to collaborate - follow-up in case support is needed in moderation or emerging projects 3) ℹ️*NOTES / WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS IDEA GETS UPVOTED* The outcome of this initiative cannot be foreseen, as it will depend on the individuals ideas and motivation if and how they want to work together. It could lead to a merging of lists, could lead to forming teams, could be working together for better APIs, could be anything else. It is part of this proposal to discover the opportunities for collaboration by getting to know each ones intentions and each ones struggles to achieve their intentions.
