SFScon21 - Florian Effenberger - What do open source and cooking have in common
0 likes94 views
Open source cooking events began in 2009 in Munich as public meetups to bring together free software projects, users, and communities. Inspired by this, the speaker organized open source cooking events beginning in 2010, where 20-30 people would cook and share a meal together based on open source principles of collaboration and knowledge sharing. Key aspects included calling for recipe proposals, collaborative shopping and meal planning, parallel cooking and cleanup similar to software development processes. However, maintaining the events long-term proved difficult as organizers' priorities changed over time.

- 6. 6 Twitter: @floeff Indeed, it’s Open Source! cooking per “open source principles” we enjoy working together we are a community we have adventurous interest and excitement we learn from our mistakes and share knowledge everyone contributes what they’re best at we motivate others to contribute coordination is key... but a bit chaotic :-) everyone benefits from the result – and it’s tasty!
- 7. 7 Twitter: @floeff “Call for Recipes” recipe proposals via e-mail and social media → no ”spaghetti code”, but really good food → Japanese, Mexican, Hungarian, Indian, with local support everyone’s included vegetarians, vegans allergies Who (dis)likes what kind of food? betatest at home ;-)
- 8. 8 Twitter: @floeff Compiling things... build requirements: a group of people will go shopping at a large grocery store together (ETA: three hours!) “project management”: amounts and costs estimated by spreadsheet and search engine costs shared, 5-15 € per participant way less expensive than good food in a restaurant
- 9. 9 Twitter: @floeff Release Engineering ”package maintainers“ for each of the three menu courses cooking together disseminators: only a few can actually cook stove has a scalability limit, only four hotplates parallelization is important 18 kg tomatoes, 100 eggs, sixpack of wine time-based release model, sort of… main course between 21:30 and 01:30 documentation could use some improvements ;-) some recipes not public yet
- 10. 10 Twitter: @floeff post-install scripts cleanup process hard to set up (washing the dishes...) donation of food to Salvation Army, so not only us, but also others have a wonderful evening for us, it’s just 1 € more, but for others it means a lot we are geeks, so more ideas on the way cooking abroad working with celebrity chef? (first TV show already asked!) finally buy the 700 € pumpkin ;-) ask a grocery store to donate 1 € for people in need for each Euro we spend there for food
- 11. 11 Twitter: @floeff Long-term maintenance, sustainability last event took place several years ago key people not available anymore → not because of lack of interest, but people’s life and hobbies change someone needs to “wear the (chef’s) hat” → create projects in a sustainable way, avoid ”bus factors”
- 12. 12 Twitter: @floeff DISCLAIMER After this presentation you will all be VERY HUNGRY
