Greetings Everyone!
We are very happy to announce the creation of a Foodhacking Base at the 2011 CCC Camp this August 10-14. The Foodhacking Base will be part of NeighborCamp, the village hosting the Hackers on a Plane trip. To feed the folks travelling with HoaP, we’ll have a well stocked and well equipped kitchen. Now to plan how we’re going to use it the “hacker way”!
My role is to get cool people participating in this endeavour. So if you like cooking, fermenting, distilling or any one of a million things related to food and beverages, please get in touch! I'm already finishing the design of the kitchen and first list equipment list to have a basis for discussion. Once the show starts, I'm responsible for making sure everything goes nice and smooth and on budget. I'll be cooking and fermenting a lot, leading some of the shifts and workshops on every day basis.
Your part? Be creative and think of something :-)) Otherwise come and join us, have fun, do some really cool food hacks, nice and simple (we are still missing the go go dancers for the party :-)) gender doesn't matter after twelve no one cares!).
So here is the project wiki page and mailing list, sign for it, bookmark it or just pop in!

See you all at CCC,
Sincerely,

(Please distribute to any foodhacking or hackerspace lists you know of so we can get as many folk involved in planning as possible!)
PS A bit more info.
The deal is that we have a decent budget for equipment and ingredients. Our goal is to prepare food for the roughly 40 Hackers on a Plane (plus guests) at in the NeighborCamp village during the camp. In addition on 11th we will prepare party dinner for “whole camp”. There will be buffet style food at least three times per day, preferably 24/7, with plenty of vegans options all the time. That is what we get, that is what we give.
I'm now opening the project to discussion, hopping that people will step up and we will be able to make this event really rock and roll. I'm enclosing a list of activities which I would love to see happening within the food hacking center, please do add what ever you would like to be doing and we will see what happens.
I can imagine that we will split the day in shifts and there will be around 6-8 people on the shift, so we can take it easy and have a fun.
I should mention that the Hacker on the Plane group is budgeting 10 EU per day per participant for food, so if you are eating with us you should consider contributing in cash or supplies. Nobody will be turned away, but please discuss alternative options with me in advance if money is an issue. I'll do my best to have some great free food and beverages for helpers, give me some time to negotiate there :-))
Have a great time and I hope to see many of you in the kitchen or at least popping in for some treat.
Sincerely,
Frantisek Algoldor Apfelbeck
