Umeå Hackerspace is .
Normal opening hours are:
Remember to check the open status indicator here on the website before dropping by, since it's not guaranteed that anyone has arrived yet. Or just ask on IRC/XMPP.
We are also listed on spaceapi, which has phone apps available. Just search for "spaceapi" wherever you get your apps, install any one you like, then search for "Umeå Hackerspace".
EDIT2: the space is open *right now*
Due to interest from Music Tech Fest attendants we will be open this monday from around lunch (EDIT: or 18:00 due to the symposium, watch this space), in addition to our usual tuesday open house. Visitors are more than welcome!
Last week a promotional Lulzbot TAZ 3D printer from Lulzbot arrived. Several of our members went to work putting together and calibrating it, and it is now in good working order. This welcome addition brings the total number of working 3D printers to two!

Allmän upplysning: epoxy och polyester står och härdar i mekrummet. Använd skyddsmask!
This is a writeup of a recently finished art project that me (Tomas) and MMN-o were involved with.
Some time last year Tryggve Lundberg (assistant professor at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts) approached us for assistance with an art project (Klangvägen). The gist of it was to be able …

Second and finally, the outside/entrance area is …
First some information about Saturday's space cleaning: we (me and Sebastian) have taken a trailer's worth of junk to the recycling centre already, meaning there's considerably less stuff to take away tomorrow. We've mostly gotten rid of all the empty server cases that were thrown in a big pile in …
Andrew Dubber of Music Tech Fest paid us a visit a few days ago and was given a grand tour. This resulted in a blog post titled "World’s northernmost hackerspace?" - go read it!
In other news, we're organizing a "trailer to junkyard" day in order to finally get rid …
I tisdags höll Umeå Hackerspace årsmöte för att runda av 2014 års aktiviteter med hjälp av en god mängd fika. En ny styrelse valdes och verksamhetsplan för detta år fastställdes. Verksamhetsplanen är att bland annat hålla en mikrokontrollerworkshop, fler kryptoworkshops, bedriva fortsatt lokalutveckling inkl skaffa mer utrustning samt försöka anordna …
After a trip to a local thrift store the electronics lab is now equipped with a work light. This should make working with finer things much more comfortable :)

No English speakers responded to the previous post, so this one will only be in Swedish.
Vi har fått rätt bra respons på förra posten om att ge bort kvarvarande DL145:or och tänker oss att intresserade personer får komma förbi på Fabriksgatan 8b och hämta en server var den …
As some of you may know, uhck has had an opensign for quite some time that has a simple API and reports the current status on IRC. Additionally I've been considering extending the API and have been toying with a simple Android app.
Yesterday zash told me about SpaceAPI which …
Som en fortsättning på det senaste inlägget om hyllor så har jag glada nyheter: vi har köpt in nya stålhyllor till labbet som ersätter de gamla vita hyllorna, med mer än dubbelt så många hyllplan! Vi har även passat på att sortera lite bland grejer i lokalen. Bland annat har …
Något fördröjda, glada nyheter: vi fick nya donationer av Ådén Electronics förra fredagen. Det rör sig om labbkabel, en Commodore 64C, en kompositskärm, en bärbar TV/radio/kasettbandspelare, en konsollswitch och två externa USB-enheter (CD/RW och PATA). Vi tackar för dessa! Se bilder i slutet av detta inlägg.

Glada nyheter från senaste styrelsemötet: vi har beslutat att alla medlemmar i spacet får claima en låda att ställa i de nyuppsatta hyllorna i labbet att ha grejor i. Tanken är att få mer ordning i lokalen, så ni som vet med er att ni har grejer som ligger och …
