Recapture and Ideas
To save memories, observations and findings from last year and also collect ideas for the next event.
38C3 - Recapture:
Memories
- Shared infrastructure!!!
- Disco teapot.
- The projector at the ceiling.
- Books and how they were treasured.
- A “spontaneous” literary session, which actually brought a couple of beings together. There was already a session. As it was not possible to create a second session at the same time in the Fahrplan, they created a room House of Tea 2 to announce it. It was nice to see, at least four or five beings still found themselves and joined more or less spontaneously.
- The amount of cushions and carpets was fantastic, always something available to cozy up on, especially the larger pillows!
- Our decor was just about perfect, veery cozy!
- The music was fantastic, thank you Jérémie <3
Observations
- It was hard to realize how many sessions happened in our space, because they blended in so much. Which is good, but it does not make it easy to find them.
- There was at times barely enough space to have self-organized sessions. This is fine, but we should communicate that HoT is a rather crowded space for self-organized sessions
- Ventilation was NOT good.
- Helped a sight impaired being. Explained the concept of joining a table and be served some tea there. Offered a cup and gave it to them. Then guided them to a place right next to where we stood to not need to navigate through our space and later back. Helped finding a cushion on the floor and gave orientation about position and size of the table. Immediately the beings at the table took over and welcomed them. I told them to raise a hand, if any problems emerge. This was welcomed with great relief, but comes with a commitment after offering it. Later I asked, if I can leave and the beings at the table said they already spoke about how to get out and it is fine. And by the way, the replacement floor guidance system is working very well (from a not very representative poll of one).
39C3 - Ideas:
What projects to show. What deco to bring. What to change. What to keep. How to do things.
- Are power banks for deco compatible with fire regulations? If so, do we want to organize a recharging infrastructure and take care about it?
- A sign we can put on the tables (or hang from the cables) to announce sessions. Who wants to talk about a certain topic, puts it on a table and waits for beings to join the discussion. May be possible with LED. Or just a laminated paper to write on, sticked into a small holder.
- Additional Gaiwans and an info sheet for 工夫茶/gōngfū chá for the more rare Chinese teas
