Hi. Still in the middle of it, but just to answer your question, I took the Kitz mocha stencil with me along with other bits of the choco-powder delivery system.
Everyone left so quickly, I didn't want to risk it being tossed away by the cleaning crew or something.

Then it turns out I stayed for a bit the day after the hackfest, and honestly, just forgot about it.

I'd be happy to send it to you if you'd like to gift it. I mainly just didn't want it binned when we had said there were plans for it. :)

email me your mailing address and I'll pop it in the mail with some cardboard to reinforce it on the way.

Thanks!

- I tried to make sure everyone had what they needed to be able to work
on Inkscape without needing to worry about the rest - this included
things like shopping for food, making arrangements with the Kitz,
plucking apples, baking pretzels, dealing out keys and access chips,
translating menus (food), buying tickets, watching weather forecasts and
answering surprising text messages. I also took care of a couple of
external visitors to the hackfest. On Wednesday, I herded the Inkscapers
through Kiel, to the computer museum and (some) back.

I spent most of my time finding, testing, understanding new features and
then documenting them in the release notes for 1.0. Some time on the
first and second day was spent on fixing my auto-compilation script for
using it with git submodules. During testing, I also found a couple of
bugs and reported them.

Due to Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage approaching, I also spent a
large fraction of my time at the hackfest on working for that.

Then I wrote some daily summaries up in the forums, so there was a way
that people who couldn't attend were able to get a small impression of
what was happening.

On Tuesday, I intended to just watch how Martin was doing short
usability tests with some unbiased Kitz employees - but then let myself
be talked into doing some of them myself.

And - again, thanks to Martin - I've asked for help with setting up an
online translation service for Inkscape, and helped test Inkscape's
rocket.chat instance. Both of these seem to be developing well.

- I enabled a very productive meeting with some really awesome and
motivated devs.

- Leaning back from the table and seeing with how much dedication the
guys around me were working on making Inkscape better.

Standing on the deck of the ferry with the wind in my face, glad that
all Inkscapers had made it on board in time.

(and inviting one of those peaceful, legally protected wasps on a spoon,
and carrying it over to a flower, where it hopped off, and never came
back - this wouldn't have worked with all species of wasps, though)

> 4. Did your hackfest activities extend beyond the hackfest?

- Yes, of course - I spent the night after the official end coordinating
with Ryan Gorley (thanks!) on some small handouts and posters for a
makeshift booth at Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage, and was there at
the Inkscape table for some of the time the next days. I also presented
Inkscape in a 2-minute-talk during Kielux' attending projects
presentations twice. And then there was some cleanup to do for the room
etc.

I'm far from finished with documenting LPEs (and they keep getting
better). Also, I want to work on getting Weblate, the translation
software (after Manuel and Chris will have installed it) into a
production-ready state, with Patrick's help, and I've already read
through a lot of its documentation and played with it locally on my
computer. And then, there are some things that I usually do for
Inkscape, but that I needed to put off until after the hackfest.

- No - and that wouldn't be good anyway. Right now, I'm quite exhausted,
and highly motivated to do some garden work ;-)

- I've uploaded ours into the shared space, maybe some of them will be
useful.

- Thanks for the tea and the stickers, CR :) Btw. you left a tea stick
here (maybe intentionally) - how is it used? Do you want it back? (also
the children's scissors). And where did the Kitz stencil go? I thought
it was supposed to be gifted to the Kitz...

Looking forward to the video!
