Questions to answer first
- What is the topic? (i.e. Coding Night, Cryptoparty, Talk, Workshop, ...)
- What is the target? (i.e. Fixme members, extern people, adults, children, ...)
- What resources are required? (i.e. the hackerspace, electronics tools, electronics parts, ...)
- Who can help me to organise? (i.e. things can be done faster/easier if you not try to do it alone)
