Hi. At the stand in Antibes we had a very popular stand. Joseph was there and he sold out all his books ment for the whole european tour!!! Thomas had a very popular watermelon test and we have spoken to many many people and motivated them to become member of GTS. People loved the seed train idea and promised to get involved…
So i don’t know if some moderator has some superpowers to check if there’s an uptick in new members…
We did our stinking best to involve people from Italy especially, because they’re poorly represented so far. We were dishing out loads of grexes, especially to people from the African continent. Some connections were established with Moroccan seed organizations and many others for sure, but i don’t know which ones. I was from the 1 on 1 department trying to involve gardeners and farmers alike to embrace adaptation gardening.
You made the job very easy for the rest of us Hugo with all the talking you and Mare did. I would love to see more people get involved. My intuition and experience tells me many people often need some personal contact and help to take the step and get involved in a new community. So if you got personal contact information for particular people you talked or met with, I suggest you reach out to them and invite them personally to join.

I did a lot of talking, but didn’t take emails or cards, people said they would join. I just thought in the moment they would. But then life happens and some forget it…
We distributed around 68 copies at the Antibes conference. 2/3 in french. I prepositioned about that many in other countries. Again, i’m running out of available copies. I speak in many different venues. It’s really training me in storytelling. I feel super supported by all the people and organizations working in the background on logistics. Thanks everyone.
Camille from New Caledonia and Alexandre from Tahiti met in Antibes have registered on GTS… they haven’t appeared yet they follow the courses, read us…then one day they will make their appearance as we did
