Report Thk 2018
# Repeat THK ?
we liked very much the thk, the auto organization, the possibility to add, remove and change talk. The random meeting happening, the walking to the lake and the amazing sky.
We are also very grateful to Tarnac for this amazing place and to get hosted there and being able to change, move, create things during the event. The contamination of wisdom was quite good and we think we want to repeat the THK in 2 years.
There's desire to keep on this movment of tech, politics, action and sociality together and stay in touch even after the thk. We can use the ML and the IRC irc.autistici.org have a channel #thk feel free to join it!
The location is the main topic if we want to repeat the THK. Someone said the location was a bit difficult to reach and propose to do something easier for next time to find group of van going together or to facilitate this in some way.
Everybody who want this event to happen again is free to check, ask and suggest possible location for the next THK, the ML is the point where we will discuss and decide how to organize to to a pre-meeting like how we did in Tarnac, so everybody feel free to send your suggestions for the location.
# Economy
The THK was quite good and we get 1000€ from infopoint, bar and offers the italian and Iberian hackmeeting helped donating: - 500€ hackmeeting Italy - 500€ hackmeeting Spain with this money we were able to setup the electricity for the event, setup a mesh network and prepare food before and after the event for ~30ppl, so thank you very much to everybody.
from the 1000€ we decided to split this and give 500 for the Tarnac's kitchen and the other half to give to some project who participate during the THK if they need it for their next project. We decide to not stay with any money as the next event is in (at least) 2years and doesn't make sense to hold this money.
# Kitchen
the dishes and food during the event was great! the food was amazing and the people who dedicate these days to cook for this incredible dishes will be remembered as creative vegan visionaries. But most of us miss the idea to go in the kitchen use this space as part of the autonomous organization, so for the next THK we want to be able to use the kitchen, for example, if the italians want to cook a pasta with garlic and pepper-oil at midnight! Or if someone miss the dinner and want to prepare something quick later this should be easy to do.
The security and where to pay was not too clear and someone may have use this disorganization/exploit to eat for free, some people are ok with that. Most of the people pay 10€/day at the infopoint and go to eat or 5€ per meal directly in the kitchen. The shitfs and the auto.org didn't work in the Kitchen as the ppl from Tarnac cook for us. This is ok for this time, but next time we want to be able to use the kitchen and organize ourselves
# Awareness Team report
The awareness team group spontaneously auto-generated itself during the 4 days of thk and propose a meeting in the morning before the main assembly to discuss of harassment, gender issue and group support. During the main assembly in the morning the awarness team introduced the idea to have a team of persons able to listen and support people who need to talk during the event, with no power to use violence or kick out persons, but with the idea to help if something happen identify a group of people who can talk and help to resolve the situation. Members of the awareness team propose some session and were part of the organization, the event, the party at night and we are happy to say nothing happened during thk which require a report.

# Retrospective
- gender balance for the nodes
the thk was mostly man providing nodes, we want this to be more gender inclusive for the next time. To do this someone propose to improve the call-for-nodes underlining the importance of woman participation Anyway there are some good feedback for the event: "it's cool as many women participated to the event, is still not balanced, but is better and safer then any other tech-meeting or hackmeetings" There some work on the next year to do to be inclusive about feminist talk and no mixt nodes for any gender (not only women) In the same time have been pointed out how man should respect the time to talk in order to create a fluid conversation and discussion.
another observation was that the THK was mostly white people. We want this event to have many colors, culture and this means working on reaching different group in the tech struggle we face. We think we can improve our way to outreach using the ML as aggregated point where to send information and propose to other group to subscribe here to get in touch, in the meanwhile we think we need to talk more about different issue we completely miss during the thk. Like the situation of migration in Europe right now, the terrorism and security laws and the constant situation of tension and fears from governments, but also the local struggle every group is facing in France, Germany, Neederlands, Spain, Italy and so on.
We should use the opportunity to meet physically to be critic with this political scenario happening and share our opinion and techniques about it.
# disagio / +Kaos
we liked the noise, kaos, party, negromate, nerd and anarchis karaoke, movies, tecno-wood-party we generated in the night we drink and auto-organized the bar in a good way, but someone was not happy that the beer from Calafou finished in less then 1h 
Others came with the pc but they didn't use it very much, while others create a radio group and create a streaming for the event, shared movies film and book on the ftp or get in touch phisically to met later in the digital world.
# translation
we liked the experiment of many languages together: italian, spanish, german, french, portuguese even esperanto and yes, also english We liked but we think we can improve this for the next time, so makes sense to get in touch with COATI or some translation group.
# Local kit
the local kit arriving at the THK was amazing. the local group gave us soap, the infopoint the booklet and those without tent were able to use some spare tent or the matrass in the Watch, so there was a great thanks to the local people who help us with that.
# Smoking place
small note about the smoking place during the retrospective we said it's important to define clearly where is possible or not to smoke setting up clear info at the infopoint and putting some information around the space
# audio recording of the thk
we decided to record most of the nodes at the thk, the files will be processed and uploaded on arkiwi and the link of the recording will be associated to the wiki page of thk
