SYN₂cat - the HackerSpace in .lu

A hackerspace or hackspace (from Hacker and Space)  
is a real (as opposed to virtual) place where people with common interests, 
usually in science, technology, or digital- or electronic art can meet,  
socialize and collaborate. (wikipedia:Hackerspace)

We would like to create and run such a place in Luxembourg in collaboration with the Chaos Computer Club Lëtzebuerg. (C3L) The aim is to provide a forum for various clubs and individuals to meet and collaborate on projects in a purpose-built and inspiring environment.

To find out more about SYN₂cat, who we are and what we do, download our information brochure in PDF format or have a look at our documentation online.

Changelog Sunday, November 9th, We're making progress towards our first public venue. Check for yourself in the Office section. Saturday, November 1st, Quite a lot has happened since the last update. We still have no place to stay but now have a very clear view on how to achieve our goal. We had an Informational Stand on http://www.hack.lu together with the C3L http://www.c3l.lu At the Hack.lu we were doing a Speed Track to bring the HackerSpace closer to the people. We were Interviewed and Photographed by IT News http://www.itnews.lu this Article should appear in the next release of the Magazine. On the 31st of October we presented ourselves to the LiLux http://www.lilux.lu where we made good ground work in the FOSS for Luxembourg community. But that's not all, we are now planning on a Public demonstration for the Laser Tagging Project. Where we seek help from the Graffiti Scene here in Luxembourg so we don't have to doodle around. Wednesday, October 15th, We'd like to apologize that there haven't been any updates for almost two weeks now. Not because we became lazy, quite on the contrary! We had multiple meetings with newspapers, government officials and associations working in the cultural field. We're still looking for a suitable and affordable location though. Friday, October 3rd, talked to Fondatioun Kriibskrank Kanner for a joint project. The project involves teaching young kids how to create and maintain a blog with all the privacy related issues explained in Kid-speak. Older Messages
