OpenWeekend - october 10 & 11, 2009

Why?

To show off hackerspace, we will open our premises to every visitor 48 hours in a row. We will open on Saturday morning 10h00 with a breakfast and close it with a thank you note on Sunday around 22h00. Of course, these are not full 48 hours, but hey...we'll just pretend ;-)

Suggested activities

Ideas from ML:

• Wall of Sheep (sniffing & why encrypting your internet communication is not only for hackers) [by Kabel]
• Rogue Access Point
• 'Tracking Thing' (potentially)
• TagBot
• Clutter
• Preparation of rekult stuff
• Bristlebot
• Throwies
• LaserTagging
• Intro to soldering
• Start reprap or makerbot assembly
• Quadrokopter
• Arduinos
• Twittering Power Meeters (Wireless via X-Bee)
• Mich's coffee table
• Surveillance Watch
• some animation / game project with blender?

Surroundings

We will sell some food there to get some ca$h

• Barbeque (food hacker)
• Drinks
• Breakfast
• Coffeemachine (mAcfreAk will bring Espresso and normal machine)

We could sell some shirts too ;)

I'm not sure if it would be a good idea / affordable to order one shirt of the most popular designs and have them on display? It would be quite expensive.. so maybe just 2 or 3 types. We don't actually want to sell them, so you could theoretically use yours ;) If people are interested, point them to the webshop or offer to order and have them pick it up when they arrive (advance payment of course)

We should also include a donation pot for people who want to donate something to our ASBL.

Who?

Any hacker is welcome to give a hand. You do not need to show off your project(s) if you don't want to or don't have one right now. Simply be there with us in a relax atmosphere and enjoy a drink or two ;-)
