Please add what did and did not work and suggestions for future events.

What went well

  • The label printer was nice and found some good uses.
  • Ice cube maker was nice again, I guess we could even sell them, quite some people came by asking for ice.
  • Food was good
  • TV as nice for the presentations, could have been used more, but there wasn't time to set it up correctly.

What did not work so well

  • People showed up expecting food when there was none (or asked when there will be), some suggested fixes:
    • Black/Whiteboard to note down expected times for which meals
    • TV/laptop/tablet with expected meal times (possibly network enabled)
    • push notification when what food is/will be ready / is gone (irc/matrix/mastodon/signal/telegram/whatsapp channel, might be a hidden channel as donation perk)
  • Only a few people do most of the work, FHB can work more efficiently if the load is shared more.
  • Operating result of FHB is still low compared to pre-covid
    • Costs are higher (especially all the wood we use) If we have more storage/transportation capabilities we can make or buy some second hand furniture.
    • Income is lower (but almost double of MCH)
      • We didn't have the samples table to advertise and get more donations in
    • Lights, power cables and strips were forgotten, so new ones had to be bought again.
    • Consider cheaper drinks at workshops. All the ciders cost quite a bit.
      • Algoldor There should be wider selection of drinks, preferably made by fhb and workshop giver should decide what he or she would like to use and how much. Ciders could be done for professional prices, which is around 1.5 to 2 eu cheaper, so around 6 eu per 75 cl but not less. Usage of beverages at "fhb events" like cheese tastings should be discussed before the event so we have some guidelines for the next one.

Suggestions for future

  • Laminating machine to laminate workshop printouts so they can be reused, or for the workshop schedule outside.
  • Sell FHB coin for donations? seems to work for Milliways.
  • FHB stamp for hacker passport? there were some people asking for a stamp.
  • Might be nice to have some poster like things explaining how the Food Hacking Base operates, so it's more clear for people without having to ask what to do.
  • Might be a good idea to add to a/the black/white board which tasks need to be done, so volunteers can help out without having to ask around for something to do.
  • Only allow vans if they are food hacking related if they are normally not allowed in villages to prevent discussions with orga.
  • Create a list of things owned by FHB (and maybe label them?) Hopefully helps with forgetting things / buying things multiple times / things ending up in the wrong place / find out missing things.
