Membership

Participate as a member

How can I become a member?

In order to become a member, you have to read our application form and agree to its terms. You can then become a member by filling out the form on page 3, having it signed by a full syn₂cat member, giving it to a member of the administrative council (for example during a bootstrap meeting) and paying your membership fee. Membership starts on the receipt of your fee. After 3 months, you will be granted the status of a "full member", entitling you to benefit from all privileges that come with a full membership, most importantly your own key.

What are your guidelines?

You can browse them here.

What else should I do as a member?

The hackerspace being run by its members (their financial as well as their intellectual contributions) means that we really value your commitment. Therefore, we expect every member to become part of at least one of our circle of interest. There is no need to hurry, but a couple months in, you should consider joining the one or the other circle. Why not browse the circles right away?

What do you do at your regular meetings?

The Bootstrap Meeting, featured every third Saturday of a month. Every member is encouraged to visit them. This is where you say what should happen at the hackerspace.

How do I explore projects?

The wiki's projects section is meant to present former, current and future projects.

Many of our projects are also hosted on our redmine [source.hacker.lu. There you can find more information, source code and documentation.

How do I get funding for a project?

Create wiki page for your project using the project form. Describe your project as detailed as possible and add links to your resources.

Subsequently present your project on the bootstrap meeting and/or our discuss-list.

A reasonable low budget project will be funded without any problem.

If you need a big budget for your project you will have to do a pledge to gather a part of your funding by donations. syn2cat will fund part of the total cost.
