Transcripts from the Workshop:<\/strong>
\nAs mentioned previously, we held a workshop at a hacker summer camp in Germany earlier this year.
\nSeveral participants have asked for the transcripts of the responses we collected, so I have typed them up for you here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The camp site, but in 2015.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m really happy we got the chance to do this at an outdoor camping event since some of the potential issues that came up repeatedly have never been mentioned while engaging in similar exercises in the standard indoor setting of a conference.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Context for Data Collection:<\/strong>
\nTo provide some context for those unfamiliar with Chaos Communication Camp, it is a week-long outdoor camping event. It is completely run by volunteers and had around 5000 participants in 2019. CCCamp takes place in late August in northern Germany, on the grounds of a former brick factory that is now a museum. This year, that meant daily highs of 35\u00b0C while temperatures dropped to 5\u00b0C some nights. It was warm during the days, but quite dusty \u2014 that explains the frequent mention of respiratory problems.<\/p>\n

For the workshop, we had participants answer 3 questions. <\/strong><\/p>\n

First we collected them on index cards, and then we discussed the responses. We tried to pose the questions in a way that every participant can contribute. Our goal was to cover many different motivations for attending the workshop.<\/p>\n

The 3 questions we asked on the handout:<\/h4>\n

1. What are your needs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have any accessibility or other needs when attending events or interacting with people?<\/p>\n

Which obstacles do you (or people close to you) regularly encounter in everyday life?<\/p>\n

2. What questions would you have as an organizer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What challenges do you (or have you) faced as an organizer when trying to make your event inclusive?<\/p>\n

What would help you more effectively consider the diverse needs of others in your planning?<\/p>\n

3. Have you encountered any notable situations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Share your positive experiences with inclusive planning practices!<\/p>\n

Have you organized events or activities yourself?<\/p>\n

Which measures to be more accessible\/inclusive have worked well?<\/p>\n

The Data Provided:<\/strong>
\nIn the following sections I have tried to group the participant’s input thematically, but otherwise they appear exactly as written on the index cards. Most of them were English, the translation for German content has been added in brackets.<\/p>\n

Money<\/h3>\n

What are your needs?<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Money is always an issue<\/li>\n
  2. Is there public transport or somebody willing to share cars, tickets, hostel rooms?\n
