Ouishare in Asia

Congratulations to the Ouishare team for the extraordinary 2017 edition of the Ouishare Fest. This has been a both an inspiring and humbling experience, it is very refreshing and energizing to know that such a vibrant community is thriving across the globe and thanks to events like Ouishare, they are able to connect and grow stronger.

Sylvain Mahe and myself are based out of Asia, Sylvain in Singapore and myself in Hong Kong, and both of us were attending this year's edition of the Fest. We have been following the Ouishare movement for a while now and we are super keen to grow the community here in Asia, in both countries.

Sylvain and myself are also colleagues and work for an tech innovation consultancy and we are building an Impact Lab which purpose is to leverage the collective genius to address some of the largest challenges and opportunities of our time. It will work to harness the transformative power of technology to create enduring positive impact in our world. The Impact Hub is a direct embodiment of our company values and a vision for a shared future...

In this larger context, we are wondering if Ouishare recommends to kick start a Ouishare community in a new geography in a certain way? Do you guys provide any kind of guidelines, do you have recommended approach? We are already hosting a few Meetups events in our premises and we were thinking of starting simply by hosting a new Meetup to map and connect the community of like-minded people locally. If anyone has any feedback on how best to initiate a new Ouishare group in a new location; any tips at all, we would really appreciate!

Thanks a bunch
Cheers
Cedric & Sylvain
