Remember all the pre-#34c3 shitstorm about the Wau Holland assembly declaring their space a "CoC-free zone"?
Today they had a really constructive talk with queer activists, moderated by the Awareness Team.
The result? A common declaration (see http://www.wauland.de/de/index.php) and working together in the future.
This is congress culture at its best: *communication* between groups of different ideologies that leads to a common understanding of problems, and cooperation.
@natanji would this of happened without the activists direct action?
@StuC I don't think so. To my knowledge, the initial escalation happened after Andy Müller-Maguhn didn't want to discuss the topic of a CoC when some activists tried to talk to them at the Wau assembly, prompting the activists to their sit-in. Sometimes, escalation can help.
