			* small Comments by Ben after the meeting:
			::- There was talk about adding a "three bucket" system in addition to the sink to streamline cleaning the dishes and relaxing the lack of space around the sink. That would be a system of three bigger containers, one for rough cleaning, one for complete cleaning and one for rinsing. Especially for lightly soiled dishes this could really help.
			::- I like the idea of "FAQ posters" very much, explaining the basics to people would free up time and might help with donations
			::- Having the rules formulated on posters (clean up after yourself) will help a lot I think
			::- The presentation desk as a central entry point for new people and as a handout space for food is a good idea, unfortunately we didn't really do that most of the time. I do understand that it is also due to a lack of people. We might try to appoint someone responsible for this, I think we might find someone.
			::- There are usually people who are not sure how to help, preparing a list of open tasks could help giving quick answers.
			::- I would like to streamline the "cooking large quantities, handout for donations" idea a little. Having semi reliable times for food and combining that with the presentation desk might help. This would also allow us to "block" the required resources for specific times only, making it clearer for everyone when they can't use certain things and at the same time that use is encouraged at all other times.

We may want to go through the pile of pots and lids and discard the extra lids and the pots which do not work on induction plates.

			* spices - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]). We may need to go through our spice rack, throw away the old ones and regroup the ones we have in several pots.

	* plastic bottles - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) Probiotic drinks need plastic bottles, which we now need to buy (orga went to glass bottles only). We bought the cheapest mineral water we could bet at Globus (0,11€), but there is a 0,25€ deposit on each bottle. As we used about 160 bottles, this amount to 40€, which we could have gotten back at Globus if we had not torn away the labels on the bottles.		* plastic bottles - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) Probiotic drinks need plastic bottles, which we now need to buy (orga went to glass bottles only).

	* ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) One thing I noticed is how often people ask the same things over and over - we should have some posters that describe the core principles of Fhb, like "1. You can use what you want, please clean it up afterwards. 2. If you use ingredients, please make a donation. 3. If you cook, please cook for more people."		* ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) One thing I noticed is how often people ask the same things over and over - we should have some posters that describe the core principles of Fhb, like "1.

			* (Suggested on IRC): have different coloured lights to help identify the various workshop tables.

			* (Suggested on IRC): have T-shirts or aprons for FHB members.

	* sink water heater - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) We apparently got the water heater which failed after a few days at 35C3. This year, it failed after a day and we were told by C3Power that we were only entitled to cold water anyway. As washing is a huge problem at congress (my thanks to all the volunteers!), we took upon ourselves to exchange the heater. I would rather not have that at 37C3 and budget a replacement heater before the event. We may not be able to get one at 37C3 as there are more days when shops are closed.		* sink water heater - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) We apparently got the water heater which failed after a few days at 35C3.

	* organisation of our events - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) Several events happened at the same time on 36C3.

I was informed by visitors about that problem and entered a second location "foodhackingbase2" on day 2, but we need to pay more attention at 37C3 and define at least 2 locations: like "kitchen" and "workshop table", for example.		* organisation of our events - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) Several events happened at the same time on 36C3.

	* pots and pans, hot plates - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]). At least one hot plate did not work, please check them beforehand. We also had less pots and pans, but this proved rather beneficial as it forced people to wash what they needed before cooking.		* pots and pans, hot plates - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]).

	** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) Leipzig (and Hamburg, see below) both have supermarkets that are open on the weekend as well. They can be found in the central station and transporting stuff might be more of a hassle, but it would allow us to get the most basic things at least.		** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) Leipzig (and Hamburg, see below) both have supermarkets that are open on the weekend as well.

	** ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) We would definitely need to check.

			** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) Oh, ok... well. That would be a big problem indeed.

	* organisation of our events - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) Several events happened at the same time on 36C3. We need to enter them on different rooms or only the last entered event will appear on the general program. I was informed by visitors about that problem and entered a second location "foodhackingbase2" on day 2, but we need to pay more attention at 37C3 and define at least 2 locations: like "kitchen" and "workshop table", for example.		* organisation of our events - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) Several events happened at the same time on 36C3.

	** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) I actually have emptied the donation boxes fairly regularly. Also I emptied them every night before I went to bed, which was usually around 2:00. I then didn't come back usually until 12:00, so if people made lots of donations in the morning, this could have happened. I'm not sure how otherwise this would have ended up like you describe.		** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) I actually have emptied the donation boxes fairly regularly.

	** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) I also found the pouring away of the water quite a sad thing to do (I know there was no alternative, it's still sad). Having said that, I used google and it turns out that there's no way to buy these bottles alone at a cheap price it seems.		** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) I also found the pouring away of the water quite a sad thing to do (I know there was no alternative, it's still sad).

	** ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) I searched as well and came to the same unfortunate result. Moreover, we need bottles for sparkling water, as they need to resist pressure. We could consider buying them abroad, then there is no deposit. We would still need to pour away the water, though.		** ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) I searched as well and came to the same unfortunate result.

			** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) That sounds like a plan for the moment!

	* sink water heater - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) We apparently got the water heater which failed after a few days at 35C3. This year, it failed after a day and we were told by C3Power that we were only entitled to cold water anyway. As washing is a huge problem at congress (my thanks to all the volunteers!), we took upon ourselves to exchange the heater. I would rather not have that at 37C3 and budget a replacement heater before the event. We may not be able to get one at 37C3 as there are more days when shops are closed.		* sink water heater - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) We apparently got the water heater which failed after a few days at 35C3.

	** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) Well, one notable thing to be aware of is that I have hear rumours (more than once though) that 37C3 might not be in Leipzig but in Hamburg.		** ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) Well, one notable thing to be aware of is that I have hear rumours (more than once though) that 37C3 might not be in Leipzig but in Hamburg.
	** ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) Good to know, but then Hamburg is smaller.

	* drying plates area - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) I bought two plates racks for the drying area. It was an improvement, but we may want more next year. They cost a couple euros.		* drying plates area - ([[User:Lefrog\|Lefrog]]) I bought two plates racks for the drying area. It was an improvement, but we may want more next year.

			* ([[User:DenkBrettl\|DenkBrettl]]) One thing I noticed is how often people ask the same things over and over - we should have some posters that describe the core principles of Fhb, like "1. You can use what you want, please clean it up afterwards. 2. If you use ingredients, please make a donation. 3. If you cook, please cook for more people."
