I've done catering on many events CCC included, building now kitchen for OHM 2013 and working/volunteered in kitchens this design is not good for
activities described above and it is completely against the direction of bringing the attention of hackers and hacker movement to the food as crucial factor of a healthy life. You may not have too much activities around the food at the moment but sooner or later it will come as it did before. Taking the central element from best kitchen which I have seen at any hackerspace till now when it is there already after being build with so much work by many (not me in this case), that seems very unreasonab le to me. If you do not aim to bascially to end food related activities in the place you should not go ahead and destroy the ile. I personally believe that food should be taken very seriously and the experimental kitchen should stay in the place as it is if not improved.<br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style:

meetings since.<br><br>At the previous meetings leading to this proposal we have had strong<br>agreement that something needs to be done to the kitchen; that it does<br>not work as is. The current proposal is the third iteration of the<br>kitchen project and reflects the concerns and compromises of those<br>attending the Rebase meetings and those who contributed via email to<br>those discussions. Excepting Cynthia, the attendees of the last<br>meeting felt that this was a strong proposal that we should act on.<br><br>I hope that this addresses your concern.<br><br>(The rest of this message is just about Rebase)<br><br>For the discussion list, a reminder:<br><br>As far as Rebase is concerned, in general, the intent is to make<br>excellent changes and improvements to the Noisebridge space that<br>require more resources, scheduling, and work than a single user can<br>achieve. The meetings are scheduled at at regular time and the<br>processes and intent of
the Rebase meetings are documented on the<br>wiki. The meetings are announced to discuss and the notes are kept (as<br>well as possible). We have had good attendance at the meetings, and I<br>would love to see even better attendance.<br><br>I encourage everyone to please attend these meetings and help Rebase<br>deliver excellent changes/improvements to our community. Collaboration<br>and development of projects is by no means constrained to the Rebase<br>meetings, but they are designed to be a good place for it. Especially<br>if one feels they need community buy-in. If one cannot attend, please<br>make a wiki page with your proposal and add it to the Rebase page.<br>Send me, or someone else that can present on your behalf, your<br>comments and proposals for us to bring up during the meeting.<br><br>-Jarrod<br><br><br>On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 10:13 AM, Andy Isaacson <<a ymailto="mailto:adi@hexapodia.org"
