+*Where: Omni Commons
+*Date: 18 March 2017
+*Format: 3 short talks followed by interactive workshops on cable crimping, node mounting, cow&chicken demo, TCP postcards - and with t-shirt screenprinting and swag stations!
+* Takeaways:
+** What went well? (Strength)
+*** able to reuse lots of booths and printed matter from previous BYOIs
+*** (jorrit) relaxed atmosphere with many conversations happening
+*** (jorrit) hands-on actities are fun!
+*** (jorrit) food was super-yummy
+*** jenny: great to have nico's perspective from the global south & as longtime community networks participant in the larger global community of CWNs
+*** jenny: the shirts were hella awesome
+**What to do better? (Weakness)
+*** demographic (mostly male, mostly white)
+*** stack of pre-flashed routers for sale
+*** (jorrit) provide more specific things that folks can do after the workshop - how to participate beyond the workshop
+*** (jorrit) show more examples of how peoplesopen is making a difference (learn, share, build etc)
+*** jenny: more targeted outreach further from the date
+*** jenny: don't think we got a lot of devsummit attendees - the idea to make this BYOI more informal and partylike, at a later time, wuz a good 'un & we should do that for future post-confs (or coordinate with organizers to make an omni shindig one of their evening network/chillage events)
+*** jenny: realized just after i handed off the mic that i should've passed it to all in attendance to hear at least who was present and what they were excited about or had questions/curiousity abut. in short: more gunner-style facilitation! :D
+**What did we forget?
+*** nametags
+*** pass-the-mic intros for all participants
+*** advertising more than a week in advance
+***Q-n-A after the presentations....
+*** agenda and better-facilitated/stewarded front greeting desk
+** What to do next time?
+*** (jorrit) Share/build a byoi "cook book" so folks can recycle recipes/ activities - started a drafty draft at https://github.com/buildyourowninternet/buildyourowninternet.github.io/blob/master/workshop.md
+*** jenny:  give every attendee at the bat a "doggy bag" of nametag, zine, button/sticker/shirt aka swag, program/agenda and optional home node

+* Takeaways:
+** What went well? (Strength)
+***  mai - panel discussion, informed audience, able to talk to panelist afterward, program
+***  benny - surprised by the number of people, volume

+***  lesley - "white nerdy"
+***  grant -  number of volunteers committed to each table wasn't great
+***  grant - community connection, confusing messaging, little practical application
+***  mai - messaging is very much connected to the lack of diversity in participants
+***  jorrit - turn people who show up into teachers
+***  mai - make more donation pitches
+** What to do next time? (Opportunities)
+***  get more volunteer committment
+*** event planning day before the event itself
+***  make broader than connectivity, what do people what go to the internet for
+***  collect stories of people in Oakland, not just about pipes, also about content
+***  have more clarity of roles
+***  get people excited to take ownership rather than having everything decided at meetings
+***  but discussions and concensus at meetings is important for some issues
+***  firmer protocols? more precedence?
+***  instructions at each table, for things people can do on their own after table host gives spiel
+***  do it somewhere else to attract different communities/participants
+***  find a partnership with another organization - messaging and planning would happen with them / re-think our messaging
+***  we should pick a date soon, as a target to work towards
+** Threats
+***  Jorrit - burn out
+***  lesley - culture issues, how responsibility is delegated, when to do things, what is necessary, what isn't
+***  jorrit - too many meetings? vague expectations?
+***  blake - level of excitement, frustration after investing a lot of time
+***  mai - connected to how we work as an org, people who put in a lot of but don't get feedback or acknowledgement
+***  blake - over-ligating roles?

+*Format:
+* Takeaways:
+** setup better on the floor?
+** table/pew layout gave more natural flow around the ballroom
+*** maybe next workshop could be more of a project update instead of a welcome to the mesh?
+** enjoyed the simplicity, pretty much 1~2 slides per speaker, very cool!
+** solid turnout, ~headcount: more than 20 (based on Daniel's photo)
+** really liked the "non-Q&A" Q&A
+*** put focus more on doing and interacting instead of power and posturing
+** chat/hack stations
+*** kick-ass lego signage
+*** door? lots of SWAG, awesome stickers, donations? square?
+*** crimping?
+*** wave propagation?
+*** garden mesh?
+**** wish I could have soldered some headers -grant
+** semi-successful node flashing (4 nodes sold + 1 given away)
+** people kept showing up (how many people said they came after the talks?)
+** had feel more of an open-house hack session
+*** idea for next time? legit hack-session/hackathon with midday break for talks/food/chatting?
+** people hanging out until almost 6pm!
