emf2018:report

This is an old revision of the document!


EMF2018 was an absolute belter, and the consulate did super well.

Things that were great

The hard border, political jokes and barrier were excellent.

The asylum applications & associated performance theater were amazing fun.

Things that were good

Ideas we need to develop

Communal Tents

Do we need to consider what tents we bring to events in the future?

The simple & quick construction of the Event shelter and the space offered by the double plastic tables were a real winner this year.

Maybe buying another one that's waterproof and roughly 5x5m would be a good thing to do.

Shared Workspace

We need to be more disciplined at keeping our communal area tidier so we can get actual things done.

Dedicated Music Machine

It was a little annoying using personal devices for music this year. Coin-op youtube jukebox anyone?

Events at the Consulate

Do we want to run events at the consulate? Solidify our evening parties into something much more?

Communication between events

Some of us are on IRC. Do we want to look at slack/discord/matrix/rocketchat/telegram/something else in addition to IRC for us to keep in touch / grow more?

What about starting a mailing list again?
