20200223 : dcht00 on #ecohackerfarm , in response to aimeejulia fosdem 2020 report - i read the FOSDEM notes and agree, everytime I went there, it was basically about getting the flue, and ratting around the hallways of that strange uni, to find all interesting sessions closed (overbooked)………. the model that I did find a bit better was to run around and make sure not to get baited into more than 5 min conversation with anyone, as the geeks at stands there will trap you and will keep telling you about their project into all details for an hour if you let them… what would be good, or perhaps great, would be to try to spread hackbases in general to these projects, to make retreats etc. i discussed this with several projects when i was at FOSDEM … the problem is to actually “close” this and make it happen…for this we would need to figure out clearer formats, share notes (how to do financials, etc) and probably bounce projects between eachother. because it would make sense for them to travel not always to the same place. we could all probably share a fiscal sponsor as well (my company, for example, could potentially bill something, for example)…it would be high-time to co-develop this model, and see how we could flyer it and push it. this is what hackbases should really be doing … i thought they will at start, but kind of lost track of this, as CHT became more experimental.
