and my girlfriend representing Food Hacking Base (fhb) and Dancing
Drops (dd) (associated group of fhb) are planning food&beverage
hacking tour around Europe starting at 30c3 in Hamburg, lasting for
around 6 weeks, at least two people involved full time with preparations and on the road. We will be using
hackerbus (thanks to Moritz for lending it to us) and we would like to
hear some tips&tricks on the subject to do it cool and end up in
surplus at the end. We need to cover at least our costs of +-€3500,
preferably ending around €5000 in donations or over to get some profit. Many thanks for any
info, we will share it back!</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Our
main goal on this tour is to promote the food&beverage hacking in the hacker
movement, strengthening the connections/social networks within the
hacker community and collecting funds for future activities of both
groups dedicated to these fields.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Here is our plan and thinking please comment!:</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span

want to start the tour at the 30c3 in Hamburg (end of December) or just
after that and tour the West, maybe South and definitely central Europe
promoting food&beverage hacking, especially fermentations giving
workshops, organizing thematic dinners, helping up to build up and
improve relevant facilities (kitchen&brewing corners, bio-labs) in
the given hackerspaces, including the promotion of the experimental
incubator project building up the prototypes. We were considering 2-3
days per hackerspace, arriving on day 0 in the afternoon or evening,
making workshop on brewing next day (day 1), improving the place with
the members and doing variety of "non scheduled " activities on day two,
organizing community dinner on day three and hitting the road on day
four. That is the time plan more or less, it will differ based on the
hackerspace I guess. At the moment one or two days break between the
hackerspaces seems feasible, day 0 is part of this break.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Communication, coordination and selection where to go</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">We
plan to get in touch with hackerspaces which we know the people from
and let the people who we do not know to get in touch with us once we
officially "announce the tour", which is not the case yet. Based on that
we will make a list of bit over 10 hackerspaces which we want to visit
and coordinate the timing with them. We would like to have at least one
contact person in each place whose help we need to both coordinate and
promote our activities there and help us with visiting and getting in
touch with interesting places in the region. I also plan to be on the
hackerspace mailing list of that group at least temporarily.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Resources sharing</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">We
want to raise/collect the resources (money) by crowdsourcing campaign
and direct donations at the place. We will have some "gift stuff" like
matelade jars, logos, thematic postcards etc. The money collected will
be split between food Hacking Base group, Dancing Drops and the
hackerspaces (ratio has to be discussed) which we visit - we want to
support the places and related activities there. We are thinking about
sharing around 30% of profit from direct donations with the hackerspaces
where we collect the resources, not sure about exact number yet,
depends probably on the place.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Sleeping and transport</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">We
hope to couch surf with the people from the communities and use the
microbus which we will be touring in as a last resort sleeping solution.
The transport is the microbus as mentioned above, we are considering
getting trailer so we can carry more stuff in it having enough place in
the car by itself especially for sleeping.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Multimedia equipment and ingredients, stuff</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">We
will have a digital camera, laptop (or netbook), hopefully printer and
mobile phone (not sure what solution to choose here at all - we will
visit many countries and I do not like mobiles), the last especially
because of GPS. Concerning ingredients and equipment we will be caring
quite a decent amount of both with us, so we should be self sufficient
as much as possible.</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Posting and updating info about our campaign</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Well
it looks like that Food Hacking Base (fhb) discuss will be used for
email updates, Facebook account for both groups and Twitter for fhb
again. We will also write limited amount of blog posts. The manuals and
info will be on the wiki, possibly completely on fhb wiki. There will be
continuous crowdsourcing campaign too. Any other ideas how to promote?</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Really wondering about</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Did
any of you run crowdsourcing campaign during a major hacker event? How
was it? To do this part well is I believe highly important in the means
of positive financial outcome, do you agree?

thanks for any info on the topic, there are many of you who has similar
experience please share it. I've been doing some touring already before
but never for example with a car. We are more likely to spend around
€3500 for the whole trip (flying from South Korea and back taking most
of it, plus gasoline), and that is the minimum which we would like to
get back = cover our costs, anything extra would be highly appreciated,
the aim may be around €5000 so around €1500 profit is possible. Does it
sounds doable for cca 6 weeks hacker tour?</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Sincerely from Jeju, South Korea,</span></div><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span
