==[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-your-own-internet-workshop-tickets-32460849274 Build Your Own Internet Workshop v5]==
*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
