items from the flashlight round:

• plenary meetings for coordinating room usage missing
• daily meeting of kitchen group with shopping group missing

• sound too loud during the night and morning, lack of communication
• child care didn't work well (missign participation)
• timetable confusing
• bad coordination of child care: exchange phone numbers. in case a child needs something special
• missing room reservation: first come, first serve is no good solution
• proposal: syndicates for culture, cooking, ... or at least some discussion
• löack of networking between groups coming to the camp
• dominance of german language, e.g. at dinner; foreign people traeted as childs: just talking about the weather
• more responsibility for stuff, missing order
• not learnt from last camp(s)
• camp should take place in a region with warmer climate
• discuss problems when they appear, not afterwards
• loved it to be here
• lack of politics, but fun
• child care worked, also other people shouls participate, even if they have no experience with children
• those who party at night forget to clean up
• feeling aggression at the camp, e.g. during sexism discussion, possibly due to bad discussion culture
• organising group still present in the background, jobs might be delegated to other people
• being a non-german speaker is really hard, conversation takes place among non-austrian people; frustrating; was better in 2006
• camp worked well without plena
• use one sheet for each location to coordinatize room usage
• domination bahavious on the info-wall: comsuming much space
• communication trining missing
• lack of responsibility for order
• bad talk about hippies
• good experience
• proposal: meet every 2nd day, or talk personally, not with papers in the toilets
• people waste food they didn't eat instead of giving it to others
• difficulty to communicate beyond own (Vienna / german speaking) group
• compared to last year, doing workshops in english was better than simultaneous translations
• lack of d.i.y.
• one big meeting every day missing
• i say no more than: see the toilets
• more things should be done outside of the perparation group
• the preparation groups should not just “dissolve”, but organize the infopoint during the camp
• cleaning facilities should be prepared better
• cooking should take place all the day, therefore meet 1 day in advance for cooking coordinatization
• people should try to organize themselves a bit more
• lack of communication
• problem with organisation of workshops: miossing space for writing down everything; use e.g. internet, would be easier to move workshops, or use many pieces of paper
• food should have been bio-products
• work activity did not work well, e.g. there has been no food at noon; you should be able to rely on other people
• knowledge was not really shared
• things were not brought back
• quite dirty
• missing support for the person going on crutches
• communication separated, worked well among foreign people
• install infopoint, also to bring up criticism
• use a book for sharing information
• keys were missing (people had them in unknown tents)
• the relationship room was very positive
• the presence of children is very posivie
• communication should be organized better in advance
• is not good to always have a party atmoshpere, limit it to 3 or 4 party times during the camp
