Ideas for improvement from last meeting of camppp7e1

• Communication:
  • sending invitations to previous attendees
    • I'm not sure how we should do it, the ticketing system intentionally doesn't store information after the end of each event ~dnet
  • ask what attendees can contribute during registration
    • https://github.com/hsbp/ticketing/commit/20f863a ~dnet
  • bring a chalkboard for shopping list and announcements
  • stream talks (at least) locally, so that people doing things like cooking at the camp-site can also listen to them
    • HAVOC will try this, especially since we already have a voctomix setup, however if we need more than just audio, a TV would be great for afternoon talks, when a beamer won't be much visible ~dnet
  • have an introductory session in the beginning as the first plenum
• Camping:
  • take care of yourself, bring cutlery and dishes, don't assume it to be provided
    • Ecoizm (Zöldbolt, eco store in Budapest) offers biodegradable plates and utensils, we could buy some for those who'll inevitably forget this ~dnet
  • distribute checklists based on congress, camping and nerds traveling guides
• Trash:
  • give a trash bag along with the wristband to everyone in order to help and encourage people collect trash
  • have a trash policy, collect it selectively
• Campsite:
  • mark tent poles so that they can be seen in the dark
  • having more blinkenlights
    • H.A.C.K. can offer LED display, flipdots, https://github.com/hsbp/colorimage-bp-led8x8 ~dnet
  • having a pool
  • having a bar
  • having local specialties

Further ideas

• Lost and Found desk:
  • Items left behind from previous years, if the owner is still not found, could be put in a box in a visible place
  • Maybe a policy for how long they are kept
