At this year’s [Mozfest](http://2015.mozillafestival.org), Alexandra ([designswarm](http://designswarm.com)) and I teamed up and, with support from the excellent Marcel & Harm ([The Incredible Machine](http://the-incredible-machine.com)) joined the BBC R&D Homelab with #homelabkitchen, creating our own kitchen area at Mozfest’s Global Village. I was wearing the ThingsCon hat mostly, whereas Marcel & Harm focused on the [IoT Manifesto](http://iotmanifesto) and how to apply the insights to the kitchen in particular.
We set it up as a series of workshops to explore questions around domesticity, gender roles, and overall needs around a 21st century home and kitchen.
We also used the occasion to launch [thegoodhome.org](http://thegoodhome.org), where we’ll continue to explore these quesitions.
Below, some impressions from day 1.
