Here are more information from the IT & membership model of Koopernikus

1. Big news! On Sunday (May 30th) we celebrated the founding of Koopernikus with a delicious buffet & interesting presentations in La Cuisine in Zurich

2. The spark jumps beyond the founding group: We only invited a small group of food companies- but 5 of them registered after the event to want to become part of Koopernikus.

3. We presented the IT vision of Koopernikus with the 3 steps: (1) B2B marketplace, (2) networking of logistics, merchandise management systems & online shops of companies & (3) B2C marketplace

4. We have also presented the membership model in order to best finance Koopernikus. Members receive services in IT, logistics & communication. The monthly fee differs according to sales & company category

1. We welcome Laura back to our team! After a 1 year hiatus to await the technical development of Lightwave, Laura returns to help with project management, public relations and finances. 

2. Each of us has chosen his or her task from the list of tasks for the Koopernikus Platform & Lightwave in general. Isa, Laura and Johannes went through the selected tasks in order to get a feeling of what kind of processes we are facing.

3. Have sent an application to the Prototype Fund from the Mercator Foundation. To promote the development of the tools of the participatory budget based on a blockchain and to integrate it in the marketplace (B2C) over the long term.

4. Johannes exchanged ideas with Patricia Matzdorf from WWF / One Planet Hub. Patricia has offered as soon as we start test runs with the B2C marketplace and the participatory budget, she supports us as a communication multiplier in the WWF / One Planet Hub network.

1. We have made a time estimate and collection of tasks for the construction of the Koopernikus platform

2. With the financial group of Koopernikus we are planning the founding event for May 30th. There we provide a lookout for the It platform and a possible membership model

????‍5. Johannes visited the Transition Bülach team with Annette and Lucas to discuss to launch a pilot project 'FoodCoops in Villages'

1. Raphi and Johannes visited Beat and Mara from PicoBio in Dietikon to get to know them better. Beat gave us a tour of his impressive warehouse. Afterwards we had lunch with him and his daughter Mara with a long exchange about Koopernikus, digitization, communities, certification of food & the food market in general. 

2. With Beat we worked out that an interface between PicoBio's ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and the Koopernikus database makes sense to simplify data transfer.   

3. Members of Koopernikus use different merchandise management systems/ERPs. This means that in parallel to building the basic platform, we will need time and energy to program the interfaces to their respective merchandise management systems/ERPs (If it exists) for a successful data transfer. 

4. We have created a list of components that are needed to successfully launch Koopernikus to assess how much time and money we will need

1. Here is an overview of the members of Koopernikus

2. Our goal is to materialize something from Koopernikus as soon as possible. We take over elements from the Lightwave marketplace and Zollfrei Webshop and transfer them to Koopernikus and Gut Rheinau Webshop. We have set up a ticket system on Trello.

3. Johannes is adding organic certifications & a product description to the Zollfrei products

4. Johannes exchanged ideas with David from Gut Rheinau about the digital infrastructure and possible business models of Koopernikus. David sends the whole product list in order to have all the data together once.

????5. In order to plan sustainably financially, we will send Koopernikus a cost & time estimate for the construction of the basic platform and with extensions of modules (Invoice, Accounting etc.)

1. Big news! We officially founded with representatives from the entire food value chain the Cooperative Koopernikus with Gut Rheinau, BachserMärt, PicoBio, Samses, Rampe21, Ernährungsforum Zürich, Chornlade! We feel mega hyped & happy to work together within a larger team. It feels like a movement with meaning

2. At Koopernikus we are responsible for IT. Our plan is to get to know all personally, to code individual appearances and to create the Koopernikus IT platform from the intersection of needs 

3. The Koopernikus finance group discussed how to finance the development of the IT platform. One idea is to finance our team by receiving CHF 4000/month and CHF 4000 in form of food that we can resell within our community

4. Thanks to the input of Pospi & our long-term goal to switch to Holochain, we decided to switch from REST to GraphQL and to code & test a product service

5. Johannes added all producer data (name, website, address)of Zollfrei products into exel list

1. On Sunday Raphi and Johannes met with Fred von Chornlade. We were able to get to know Fred and the new location of their climate friendly grocery store in Zollhaus better. As soon as the move is finished, Fred are interested in working together on the digital appearance of their products on their own webshop, Koopernikus and Zurich marketplace.

2. Isa continued to work on the backend and the construction of the database with the elements of the seller, producer and product. As well developed a converter which allows the transfer of the Excel list with all the product/producer data to be easily fed into the database.

3. Tibor integrated a list view of products into the web shop with the possibility to switch between grid view of prodcut pictures or list view. This responds better to the needs of our customers.

4. Johannes is still in the process of adding all additional data for the Zollfrei products (producer, website, address). It is at product 170/900.
