At the last workshop we brainstormed the following ideas, around 4 weather
patterns, on the vision for the space now and in the future.
1. Windy day, the momentum and enthusiasm gathering now : all about the
momentum that is gathering at the moment around the project for a Social
space for galway...
2. Cloudy day, the gray areas we have to make decisions on : all about the
gray areas we don't have answers for yet...
3. Sunny day, the great stuff that will happen in the space : a practical
vision of all that is going great and working well about the social space
when it will be up and running...
4. rainy day, the stuff that could go wrong : a practical vision of things
that is going wrong and not working well about the social space when it
will be up and running...
