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)

Plan the event

  • Create a wiki page using the project template.
  • Get/Order the resources to be sure to get it on time.
