The aim of this project is to promote food, drink and bio related activities at the hacker events both on international and local level. By doing so they will become more integrated to the movement fallowing the hacker ethics and style. Please note that generation of variety of resources including monetary ones, which can be used for further development of these fields is one of the key element of this effort.

Summary

Growing interest in food, drink and bio related activities within the hacker movement calls for improvement of conditions for these topics and hacker events should be an example of that. Main aim of this talk is to propose basic models which can deliver these changes, open them to discussion and apply the resulting concepts on upcoming hacker events starting as early as 2016. We will evaluate structure and dynamics of camps and congresses which we believe represent examples suitable for further development. It will compile several years of past experience of several people and groups involved in food, drink and bio proposing ways how to plan and run these activities during the future camps and congresses. Taking up responsibility and adjusting to certain degree to legal requirements is part of the process. Accumulation of more human and financial resources to make these models reality is mandatory and it will be challenging. However if successful it will result in a snowball effect which will allow these sections of hacker movement to grow and prolifer supporting people who promote these changes. We hope that the orgas of upcoming hacker events will join us for this presentation and get involved with practical application.


The Practical Application

We should pick up at least three or rather five or six events during the 2016 summer and autumn including both camps and congresses of various sizes and put in practice what we elaborated in theory above. At all the events there should be food, drink and bio hacking area&hub, like for example Food Hacking Base or Milliways at CCC events. In addition at some of these events we will apply "ticket includes food, no waste please!" style. It seems like that during 2016 we will have to be bit brave and experimental concerning all the paperwork, however this experience should be used as foundations to acquire full legal status for the next years to come - and way how to get certified for other people and groups interested in this.
