Closing email for the CCC 2023 camp event
Greetings to all, it has been over a month since the camp has ended. We had several IRC meetings since then, always at 19h00 on Sunday evening, something more of us, well sometimes less. It seems like based on the reactions, most of the people considered the event as a success. We finished our build up and set up activities quite on time, however it would be definitely good if next time we have at least one pair of hands ready for build up like from day -4 or so. Bigmac with Pontus did lots of driving for shopping and taking care about trailer, with Eric we did most of the wood work with thankfully Keil helping later on. There were pairs of hands in and out but still we were bit short for sure. During the event things went quite smooth, it could be definitely cooler and of course we could have fresh water line in and draining out. However we have managed to install fresh water IBC supply and draining IBC. This combined with washing station run by angels did the job but binding fresh water to feed the pumping system was a job with big J for sure. I think big thanks should go to Jennifer for her help with cooking and also workshops during the event, she did a lot and it definitely helped. I would say that this time it was mostly me or Eric running around and doing what needed on the ground with Bigmac jumping in when suitable. Eric was also in charge of money as treasurer. It seems like that we have broke around event for the event, which leave us with more or les 700 € surplus accumulated from previous events. I, Algoldor would like to claim some fuel money as mentioned before. I'm sorry to keep it in a way but I can not really afford at the moment to erase it, even if we did not generated really surplus during the event. My trip to France from where I brought part of our gear and tent was around 550 € in fuel and toll, Czech to Germany was roughly around 220 €. If I could get around 300 €, that would be great but at least 200 € would be really nice. Of course I would have to drive anyway but well with the trailer and all that loading and unloading, it would make me happy. If you have opinion against then please voice it. To my knowledge we did not have any major issue or problem during the event, no big injuries, expositions or some not so nice digestion experiences because of our food, so it went quite smooth. For the tear down wee were again at least one or two people short but it was done. I've left in the morning on day 6, rest of the team I believe the day after. For the moment there is a trailer with our gear at Ninu's and Wabu's place, we have promised, me, to pick it up before the congress. So this was just a short recapitulation of what went on. If you would like to stay in touch with the rest of the group please pop in on Sundays around 19h00 to our #foodhackingbase IRC channel, oftc network or send an email about something interesting to the mailing list, Facebook group is also an option. It would be good to keep things alive because in around three months we have CCC Congress and well it will be first time in Hamburg after the reconstruction of the Congress Center so I think we need to be really in a shape to guard our spot inside rather than being under the tents again.
Take care everyone and thanks for being there, it was a really nice event! Sincerely for fhb,
