Hack42 - Komende activiteiten: mei-editie

Hiep hoi we zijn verhuisd! Hierover later meer. Er staan her en der nog dozen op rolcontainers en moeten nog keukens worden gebouwd enzo, maar dat weerhoudt ons er niet van direct weer activiteiten in te plannen. Onderstaand een overzicht. Sommige activiteiten plannen zichzelf in. Waaronder deze: de Giro-borrel. Zoals op de website van Giro’dItalia […]

pixelbar - Buildlog new space part 2

So, we can start each post with a standard “we’re back again” however we though it was a better idea to show you what we did so-far. On Kingsday 2016 we came together with some of our members to start working on the walls of the new hackerspace.

Our Agenda

We started the day getting some wood, After we brought the new materials back to the space we started working on a frame for one of the walls. At noon, we had finished our first wall frame. Later during the day we made another frame. At least it’s a start.

Next build meetup

This weekend, on Saturday 30th of April we will be back at Pixelbar to continue our work. The additional wood has arrived and we are really looking forward to continue building Pixelbar!. If you are around, feel free to drop by. ( but note, we might ask you to help us 😉 ).

Project WiFi

Together with Keilewerf, we thought of an central WiFi network infrastructure. The “old” WiFi network was only working in the central kitchen. Unfortunately the reach was not enough for all of the awesome neighbours we have at the Keilewerf. Dennus and Miep started working on the new WiFi environment on Kingsday. At the end of the evening everything worked! We had places 1 small rack as distribution and 5 Accesspoints were placed at this moment, 2 more are to be placed in Pixelbar itself. For complete awesomeness we have added 2 racks to our hackerspace ( which were sponsored by nifhack ). We will distribute the network of our hackerspace centrally via these racks.

We need you!

Do you want to know all about our new hackerspace ? Please look over here.

Feel free to send us advice or, even more important help us building the new space. We are nowhere without help from our participants and our friends. We try to keep the Wiki as up-to-date as possible. When we have final dates for building the construction we will also send out an email to our mailinglist which you can join here.

pixelbar - Buildlog new space and HackerHotel

Here we are again! Pixelbar, a hackerspace without a space. At least, for now. Since the opening where we announced the upcoming move of the physical location of the space we did a lot of work!

We had a pile of idea’s, lots of very enthousiastic participants and even more important a location within the Keilewerf where our new hackerspace would come. Since Februari we have made plans for the new hackerspace. Last week we took a major step forward, the mezzanine was finally placed. Now it’s far more visible what the size of the new Pixelbar space will be. We can tell you, we were very pleased with the result so far. Today we will be ordering the nescesarry build materials for the walls, When it arrives our awesome neighbour Sil will help us out with the construction of the walls.

The project

Since building your own hackerspace looks like a project we decided to start a wiki article on it which you can find here.

Feel free to send us advice or, even more important help us building the new space. We are nowhere without help from our participants and our friends.

Hackerhotel

This was not all we have done, Five of our members also attended HackerHotel last week, A hacker conference in the Netherlands. We even had a new participant register on the event. Apart from attending lots of interesting (tech) talks we also talked a lot about Pixelbar. We wanted to make sure the name would be in everyone’s head. Needless to say, it worked! Lots of participants from other hackerspace, students and other people were really interested in Pixelbar. We were even offered extra help on building the new hackerspace!

If you want to see some of the talks which were given on Hackerhotel, please visit this link.
