Jeti: /* Teardown */

'''What Hackers Yearn''' for is to '''Improve'''. This page is dedicated to collecting user feedback related to the execution of WHY2025 as a whole. Constructive feedback is invaluable to the continuous improvement of the project and is welcomed from all participants. Please share your observations and suggestions in a '''clear and respectful manner'''. Your input will help guide enhancements for future generations of the event.

It is also possible to send feedback to [http://mailto:2029@why2025.org 2029@why2025.org]

== IMPORTANT ==

Do '''NOT''' review '''people'''. Any individual interaction you had with a human does not belong here, but should be taken up with [[Team:Cohesion]].

This page is strictly for addressing improvements for the next event. We encourage contributors to maintain a neutral, factual, and calm tone in their feedback.

== Feedback List ==

=== General / overall ===

* There should be a clear single method/channel of communication from orga, using the Heaven signal chat or social media for this is not ideal
** +1

=== Arrival / departure / parking / train shuttle / luggage shuttle ===

* On day 0 we queued to drive onto the field. We said said we had stuff for two different villages at opposite ends of the site, named the villages and showed them on map print outs. This information was accepted by a dispatcher. However, the bicycle guide refused to guide us to the second location, claiming it was impossible to get there. This is somewhat surprising, since others had been able to drive to that location before. It seemed there was a informational mismatch between dispatch and bicyle guide. (Both locations were accessible by asphalt roads.)
* train shuttle worked well, good job!

=== Badge ===

* Badge handouts were announced right before they happened which didn't allow people to plan their angel shifts and disrupted talks / workshops. A virtual queue would have fixed this and required less total manhours to organize / manage. +1

* There was an expectation that the badge was and I quote from what I have overheard "included in the price". This is not the case and has never been the case but it’s not clearly communicated. To my understanding there was a surplus at SHA2017 and MCH2022 so there never was a shortage of badges before which may have contributed.
** The above is misinformation: It was in fact communicated in written form that every attendee with a ticket receives a badge. The badge could not be ordered separately and was included in the ticket price.

* During the event (AFAIK) there were no badge angel shifts outside of queue angel. This is a chance from prior events and didn't allow people who normally would have helped to help in the same way.

* Due to the badges not being self-powered nor being distributed at the entrance they failed to function as badges. The SHA2017 badge was designed with having no power yet still being a nametag in mind. The WHY2025 badge did not seem to function as a nametag which should have been its intended design goal.

* At MCH and SHA you had people using the badges at the event itself to make games / hack / learn / teach. It was something which brought people together. There was very little being done / to do with the badge during the camp, not just because of the late arrival and limited distribution but rather because there is no way to get apps on the badge outside of the SD card... or if there is a way of doing so then its not documented on the wiki page as of writing. There was no app store app, no way to use the LORA hardware, and outside the event its impossible to use the badge without reflashing a new wifi SSID.

* You could not sit at the badge tent and solder on your antenna onto the badge or work on projects. At SHA and MCH you could just approach the badge people / angels and even get help with projects.

* Badge still has way too limited documentation to even work on it after the event.

* Team Badge have overworked themselves to get a badge available. Team over Badge next time. Which is also a Team:Cohesion issue.

* Would have been great to have a separate queue for villages that collected tickets and pick up 15+ badges at the same time. This would also have greatly reduced waiting times for individuals picking up badges and sped-up the whole process.

* Not enough badges for all visitors (not even close apparently).

* Badge queues were very long and poorly managed. This made it impossible for some people to collected a badge (for example because they cannot stand that long, require shade, have to take care of children, need to go to their next angel shift, etc.)

* The communication about the badge status was very sparse and lacking. If there is a problem, '''communicate''' about it and tell participants what to expect.

** +1. I am sympathetic to the team scrambling to get stuff done under difficult constraints, but especially in such cases good communication is important. Things like randomly posting a link to a page about the keyboard hardware felt frustrating when we were just waiting for more info about future handouts. In addition, a Signal group was a poor choice of channel for announcements for many reasons - no public access, no history for new joiners, redundant join/leave messages, etc. Keeping updates to a section on the wiki and/or a mailing list would've worked much better.

* During build-up, almost all other teams were scrambling to find a pair of hands to get essential stuff done, while watching lots of people pouring epoxy in the badge tent. Which was, lemme me blunt here, one of the lowest priority of all the things that have been done during build-up.

=== Bars and food court ===

* Menu was much longer and more complex compared to MCH. A lot of items were almost never sold, like nachos and chips.
* Slight differences in the menu between the bars caused customers to ask "Do you have ...?". Also complicates restocking logistics.
* The amount of Rum in the "Tschunk" was '''halved''' without updating the price. They decided it was better to modify the recipe to make it almost non-alcoholic, rather than say "Sorry, we're out."
** +1, the Tschunk contained barely any Rum.
* Bar is not a Merch Store, "Special/Ceremonial Cup" should be sold in Infodesk. It was also badly advertised, only people who "knew" of its existence could buy it. +1
* How was the cup not a deposit... I didn't even realize you wouldn't get any money back. Made it extremely bothersome to buy drinks for other people. +1
* Why wasn't statiegeld/pfand collected? Many glass bins full of mate-bottles. I don't want to know how many plastic bottles and aluminium cans were thrown out. This could have been prevented.
* No Club Mate Beere?
* No normal (0.5L) bottles available on the last day?
* Do we get mate from the source, or a Dutch overprices company?
* No mate during buildup again?
* Not written instructions for angels. The “game of telephone” style handing of incorrect instructions down from one angel to the next caused food to be prepared incorrectly. Written instructions should be posted right at the frier and microwave.
** +1
* Handling of vegan food was bad. Burger stall incorrectly advertised vegetarian burger as "vegan" originally, and could not provide any vegan burger at all because the buns contained milk(!). Fries/snacks stall staff did not know what they were selling or what it contained, and communication was difficult. Only positive note goes to the pasta stall where the food was good, and the operator was highly competent and knew exactly what they were selling (I would like to see them at a next event).
* Bottle collection procedure was very unclear.
* To add to the above: between bar and foodcourt no crates in sight on several days. No crates at any of the waste collection points. No instructions or procedure arranged. So people grabbed the glass-waste bin from the showers and put it in the middle. End result: 24x 240L glass trash bin completely filled to the brim. Assuming roughly around 5000 pfand-bottles (Mate, beer etc) were trashed. And team Waste had a ton of heavy lifting to get all these bins off the field and back to the recycling company. This could have been prevented.
* The same with plastic bottles and cans. Team Waste managed to save a *trailer* full of cans and bottles. About 24 big bags (240L). That could easily have been double. And if people actually organized it, it would have been less work.

=== Cohesion ===
* I like the idea, but not the implementation: Geraffel was put at the arse end of the field (OK fine, epicenter of noise gradient and all that), then got told off for playing music during the day.
* Very little communication/information. People barely knew the team existed and could be contacted, social rules like the Photo Policy were not communicated and very widely ignored. Other events signpost these things all over the site and it does help

=== Content / talks / heralds / speakerdesk / AV / recordings ===

* Party Stage was the perfect location for the "History of Hardcore" talk. More 'serious' talks could be held on the music stages at events going forward.

=== CTF / token game ===

=== Decoration / design ===

* Team did an amazing job. The field felt welcoming and interesting. Thank you so much for all the effort that went in. +1
* Next time we need to find a sponsor to print flags for all visitors, and have it available as merch for purchase. It was sad to see so much deco being liberated too early in the event. We need to also work on the communication around this.

=== Family / kids ===

=== Finance / coins / payments ===

* Like the concept of an anonymous payment card that '''just works'''. Absolutely love the design of the WHY2025 card. And very happy to play with a blank Ultralight AES card afterwards.
* option for payout of remaining funds wasn't communicated properly (even the website claimed it wasn't possible at all). Cash payout would be nice, but would understandably be a big extra thing to manage

=== Information / infodesk / wiki ===

* The wiki seems to have never been updated after the event started. I have attempted to find information about something several times and ''none'' of those times was it on the wiki. Instead everything seemed to be in random Signal groups and wherever else, that I didn't even know about until much later.
* It was very hard to find information on anything (like infrastructure, badge handouts, etc.) in general, and even infodesk angels often didn't have the answers.

=== Merchandise ===
* It would have been nice if the merch that was ordered months ago would have actually been available at the field.
* Flags as preordered merchandise. Would create the possibility for hackerspaces and individuals to bring back home some of them. +2

=== NOC / Network ===
* From buildup, through the event, through teardown: the networks worked!
* It was a pleasure to work together, to deduplicate work and equipment.
* In our location, Wifi coverage was poor although we were next to a Datenklo

=== NUTS / power / water ===

* Showers with adjustable heat (showerheads which mix cold and hot water) to avoid burns.
* Wood pallets outside both showers and toilets to reduce mud. (+1, from day zero would have been helpful)
* Even if not in all bathroom points, more drinking water points other than the one in heaven should have been available from the beginning. +1
* Disable the watertaps at the same time as all the other bathroom facilities. Or communicate when the water is going out. Now villages were only able to fill small containers at the toilets. Or needed to walk all the way to Heaven.
* Slightly more cleaning would have been great. The showers were extremely full of mud even inside at times. Given they only used a hose as far as I saw, should have been possible to also have some angels do this in addition to the cleaning crew.
* Adding hooks to the showers was a very welcome addition, thanks!
* It wasn't clear where to get drinking water during the first few days. This should be communicated better, e.g. with signs and on the map. +1
* I liked the number of toilets: never had to wait +1
* furthermore, the toilets seemed to be cleaned often which is good. +1
* There always was toilet paper available in the stalls, greatly lessens anxiety. +1
* water pressure and temperature in the showers was great! Also: never had to wait, which is great! +1
* There always was plenty of soap available at the sinks, during peak time and at night. +1
* Dedicated dishwashing location. +1
* More drinking water fountains across the terrain
* "upgrading" facilities to "drinking water" is questionable. What of all the potential risks was actually tested and could be guaranteed? Separate 100% clear drinking water spots would be better -1
* Shower temperature constantly fluctuated and never stabilized

=== Off-site logistics ===

=== On-site logistics ===

=== POC / DECT / Fieldphones ===
* micropoc worked just fine: I could easily and quickly register the DECT phones for my village and the network worked whenever I wanted to use it.

=== Productiehuis / C3VOC ===

=== Projectleiding ===

=== ROC ===
* Very clear audio and reception

=== Safety / security / first aid / fire ===

=== Supermarket ===

=== Sysadmin ===

* Setup "live.why2025.org" as an alias for people to easier find the livestreams next time. Right now you needed to go to "streaming.media.ccc.de/why2025".
* IRC is less popular in new generations of hackers and at least Mastodon+Matrix integrations would have made Signal angel role useful.

=== Terrain ===

* Noise gradient should be evaluated better: the main party stage was more audible from the family village than from the Belgian cluster, which was way closer.
* Fridge container orientation: the compressor should point away from campers, it was the single most noisy item from Batavus On tour village point of view.
* Infodesk not located at the entrance like at MCH, causing it to be less visible.
* 4000 people but only a single "Hardware Hacking Tent". It was constantly full, and no other places to sit and solder.
** Plenty villages that'll happily let you use their spaces. It makes sense for this kind of thing to be community-provided (the Hardware Hacking Tent was too - while a official workshop spot, it only exists because of of the HHA team willing to equip and run it)
* "Hackcenter" only had space for 20 people, tiny tent, zero cooling, and no advertisement. Not even a sign... We thought it was someone's Village until day 4.
* No place to party/music all night. It would be cool to have a distant (from tents) area where we're allowed to have music going all night long.
** -1, loud music anywhere on the field travels far and I appreciate being able to sleep. I liked the 23:00 cutoff.
** -1 agreed. "distant" location is not really possible on-site
** +1 AGREE, the noise cutoff was really annoying, other events the music continues until 2am atleast, I don't see why we can't have somewhere on site where we can play music at a reasonable volume. 23:00 is too early for a festival.
** +1, made the event substancially worse, if we have color-coded fields to match volume levels why do we still have to shut the music down completely at 23:00 in the red area?
** -1, i was very happy to have a camp where i could sleep without earplugs. Also it would be impossible due to very strict permits this time around.
*** also this was not followed on the last night after closing in which the angel party continued in the main bar until very late???? have some consistency please. it just feels mean otherwise.

* it was nice that noise rules were followed quite well this time (unlike e.g. MCH where main stages switched to silent disco while sponsors kept blaring music into the silent areas)

* I missed routing signs for bikes coming in. Google Maps got me to the wooden bridge which was fenced off, and nobody there to either let me in or give me a hint. I may have let myself in at that fence, because it was very unclear which detour to take. The climb was only moderately scary.
* Seperate smoking and non-smoking fields, designated smoking areas away from event spaces. A blanket ban on smoking and vaping for the entire event is probably not feasible (unfortunately).

=== Tickets / entrance ===
* Putting the desks on the other side might have looked more welcoming, but all was fine for my check-in.
* Camper tickets were not scanned?

=== Villages ===
* Well done! And it was fun to help out villages doing extra luggage shuttles after we were done doing Waste stuff.

=== Volunteering / angels / heaven===

* Food tickets given to volunteers expiring, without any communication of them doing so.

[[File:Angel Waterbottle Comparison WHY vs MCH.jpg|thumb|Angle Waterbottle Comparison WHY vs MCH]]

* Waterbottle had boring text "'''Thanks For Volunteering'''", instead of WHY wordplay like "'''We Hydrate You'''", "'''Why Hydrate Yourself?'''" or "'''Wet Hackers, Yay!'''".
* Clip/Hook on the waterbootle was 3x smaller, making it unwieldy and difficult to connect. The MCH hook was bigger and easier to quick-connect.
* Drinking part had leak problems, which was not present on the previous bottle.
* The clip caused burn/melt-damage on the waterbottle, as can be seen when zooming in where the clip touches the orange waterbottle.
* No mate during buildup.
* No safe food, or unclear about the contents.
* Severe food safety issues in heaven. Bread toppings (including cheese and meat!) left open on a table outside of a fridge for hours, even overnight, with insects roaming around. No proper cleaning agents or supplies available for cleaning surfaces like tables, only some random supermarket cleaning sprays (this is not good enough for a central eating area!).
* Vegan food availability was unclear and could not be relied on. At times, the "vegan options" were completely inadequate for actually keeping people fed while doing potentially physically intensive volunteer work, with lacking nutritional value. Problem persisted during teardown. "We can't predict what the caterer will deliver" is not good enough for people with dietary restrictions.

=== Warehouse ===
* When Boels screwed up, warehouse delivered us a replacement the same day.
- what did boels screw up?
* I appreciate being able to discuss the underlying requirements instead of automatically being handed a solution. When I asked for a bunch of extension cords, it turned out there was a better solution.
* Delivery service made camp a lot better for me as teamlead. I fixed several problems with one phone call and a happy angel heading out on a bike or gator!

=== Waste / garbage collection ===

* I have no knowledge about the state of recycling in NL, but having only separate bins for glass and then ones for everything else felt quite bad. At least separation of paper/carton would have made sense I guess. Also having separate containers where people could "donate" plastic bottles / metal cans which have deposit would have made sense and also could have brought a nice sum of money for the event.
* Field was nice and clean until teardown with enough containers to get rid of waste. (+1 for adding at least a paper and deposit container)

=== Teardown ===

* "No cars on the gras" policy: Villages that respected the rule of not driving on the grass were effectively disadvantaged. On Wednesday, many cars ignored the rule and drove onto the grass, which meant those villages didn’t have to carry their equipment over long distances. Meanwhile, villages that followed the rule had to transport their gear much farther, which was exhausting given the hot weather. Suggestion: Instead of creating a situation where following the rules feels like a disadvantage, we could reward compliance. For example, check which villages adhere to the rule, and if they do, give them vouchers for a priority ticket queue for the next event.
* Toilets were shut down too early making getting water during the warm teardown harder
* Transporting crates with empty bottles in hand trucks is also very unsafe. If they fall over it would be a mess for barefooted people. Bringing them in and out with cars is much safer.
* Way too many people left a day early. That was a bit sad. For everyone reading this: stay the entire camp ;)
* We should communicate better that flags and other deco is there for the event and should not disappear during the event. Previous events and other events by other parties may have 'trained' our visitors to think they are helping out by removing such decoration early. It was a bit sad to see people rip things of the waste gator. They got told off. But the flags on the main road disappeared on day 2 of camp, and that was entirely unwarranted.
* Remove toilet accessories (paper/soap/brushes) beofore toilets are removed, otherwise they get dumped out on the field.
* Remove zipties of the main tents before tearing the tents down, the tent guys just cut them and leave them on the field.

** +1

=== Arrival / departure / parking / train shuttle / luggage shuttle ===

* On day 0 we queued to drive onto the field. We said said we had stuff for two different villages at opposite ends of the site, named the villages and showed them on map print outs. This information was accepted by a dispatcher. However, the bicycle guide refused to guide us to the second location, claiming it was impossible to get there. This is somewhat surprising, since others had been able to drive to that location before. It seemed there was a informational mismatch between dispatch and bicyle guide. (Both locations were accessible by asphalt roads.)
* train shuttle worked well, good job!

=== Badge ===

* Badge handouts were announced right before they happened which didn't allow people to plan their angel shifts and disrupted talks / workshops. A virtual queue would have fixed this and required less total manhours to organize / manage. +1

* There was an expectation that the badge was and I quote from what I have overheard "included in the price". This is not the case and has never been the case but it’s not clearly communicated.

* Badge still has way too limited documentation to even work on it after the event.

* Team Badge have overworked themselves to get a badge available. Team over Badge next time. Which is also a Team:Cohesion issue.

* Would have been great to have a separate queue for villages that collected tickets and pick up 15+ badges at the same time. This would also have greatly reduced waiting times for individuals picking up badges and sped-up the whole process.

* Not enough badges for all visitors (not even close apparently).

* Badge queues were very long and poorly managed. This made it impossible for some people to collected a badge (for example because they cannot stand that long, require shade, have to take care of children, need to go to their next angel shift, etc.)

* Infodesk not located at the entrance like at MCH, causing it to be less visible.
* 4000 people but only a single "Hardware Hacking Tent". It was constantly full, and no other places to sit and solder.
** Plenty villages that'll happily let you use their spaces. It makes sense for this kind of thing to be community-provided (the Hardware Hacking Tent was too - while a official workshop spot, it only exists because of of the HHA team willing to equip and run it)
* "Hackcenter" only had space for 20 people, tiny tent, zero cooling, and no advertisement. Not even a sign... We thought it was someone's Village until day 4.
* No place to party/music all night. It would be cool to have a distant (from tents) area where we're allowed to have music going all night long.
** -1, loud music anywhere on the field travels far and I appreciate being able to sleep. I liked the 23:00 cutoff.
** -1 agreed. "distant" location is not really possible on-site
** +1 AGREE, the noise cutoff was really annoying, other events the music continues until 2am atleast, I don't see why we can't have somewhere on site where we can play music at a reasonable volume. 23:00 is too early for a festival.
** +1, made the event substancially worse, if we have color-coded fields to match volume levels why do we still have to shut the music down completely at 23:00 in the red area?
** -1, i was very happy to have a camp where i could sleep without earplugs. Also it would be impossible due to very strict permits this time around.
*** also this was not followed on the last night after closing in which the angel party continued in the main bar until very late???? have some consistency please. it just feels mean otherwise.

* it was nice that noise rules were followed quite well this time (unlike e.g. MCH where main stages switched to silent disco while sponsors kept blaring music into the silent areas)

* I missed routing signs for bikes coming in. Google Maps got me to the wooden bridge which was fenced off, and nobody there to either let me in or give me a hint. I may have let myself in at that fence, because it was very unclear which detour to take. The climb was only moderately scary.
* Seperate smoking and non-smoking fields, designated smoking areas away from event spaces. A blanket ban on smoking and vaping for the entire event is probably not feasible (unfortunately).

=== Tickets / entrance ===
* Putting the desks on the other side might have looked more welcoming, but all was fine for my check-in.
* Camper tickets were not scanned?

=== Villages ===
* Well done! And it was fun to help out villages doing extra luggage shuttles after we were done doing Waste stuff.

=== Volunteering / angels / heaven===

* Food tickets given to volunteers expiring, without any communication of them doing so.

[[File:Angel Waterbottle Comparison WHY vs MCH.jpg|thumb|Angle Waterbottle Comparison WHY vs MCH]]

* Waterbottle had boring text "'''Thanks For Volunteering'''", instead of WHY wordplay like "'''We Hydrate You'''", "'''Why Hydrate Yourself?'''" or "'''Wet Hackers, Yay!'''".
* Clip/Hook on the waterbootle was 3x smaller, making it unwieldy and difficult to connect. The MCH hook was bigger and easier to quick-connect.
* Drinking part had leak problems, which was not present on the previous bottle.
* The clip caused burn/melt-damage on the waterbottle, as can be seen when zooming in where the clip touches the orange waterbottle.
* No mate during buildup.
* No safe food, or unclear about the contents.
* Severe food safety issues in heaven. Bread toppings (including cheese and meat!) left open on a table outside of a fridge for hours, even overnight, with insects roaming around. No proper cleaning agents or supplies available for cleaning surfaces like tables, only some random supermarket cleaning sprays (this is not good enough for a central eating area!).
* Vegan food availability was unclear and could not be relied on. At times, the "vegan options" were completely inadequate for actually keeping people fed while doing potentially physically intensive volunteer work, with lacking nutritional value. Problem persisted during teardown. "We can't predict what the caterer will deliver" is not good enough for people with dietary restrictions.

=== Warehouse ===
* When Boels screwed up, warehouse delivered us a replacement the same day.
- what did boels screw up?
* I appreciate being able to discuss the underlying requirements instead of automatically being handed a solution. When I asked for a bunch of extension cords, it turned out there was a better solution.

=== Waste / garbage collection ===

* I have no knowledge about the state of recycling in NL, but having only separate bins for glass and then ones for everything else felt quite bad. At least separation of paper/carton would have made sense I guess. Also having separate containers where people could "donate" plastic bottles / metal cans which have deposit would have made sense and also could have brought a nice sum of money for the event.
* Field was nice and clean until teardown with enough containers to get rid of waste. (+1 for adding at least a paper and deposit container)

=== Teardown ===

* "No cars on the gras" policy: Villages that respected the rule of not driving on the grass were effectively disadvantaged. On Wednesday, many cars ignored the rule and drove onto the grass, which meant those villages didn’t have to carry their equipment over long distances. Meanwhile, villages that followed the rule had to transport their gear much farther, which was exhausting given the hot weather. Suggestion: Instead of creating a situation where following the rules feels like a disadvantage, we could reward compliance. For example, check which villages adhere to the rule, and if they do, give them vouchers for a priority ticket queue for the next event.
* Toilets were shut down too early making getting water during the warm teardown harder
* Transporting crates with empty bottles in hand trucks is also very unsafe. If they fall over it would be a mess for barefooted people. Bringing them in and out with cars is much safer.
* Way too many people left a day early. That was a bit sad. For everyone reading this: stay the entire camp ;)
* We should communicate better that flags and other deco is there for the event and should not disappear during the event. Previous events and other events by other parties may have 'trained' our visitors to think they are helping out by removing such decoration early. It was a bit sad to see people rip things of the waste gator. They got told off. But the flags on the main road disappeared on day 2 of camp, and that was entirely unwarranted.

We provide a large number of interesting whiskeys and appropriate snacks to show you the wide range of things the world calls whisky (or whiskey). Dutch, Japanese, Irish and Scottish We ask you for a 25€ donation for this event, which is a steal considering the number of whiskies you will have to taste. You are also invited to bring your own bottle to this event to make it even more insane.
