Progressbar hackerspace (Slovakia) @hack.lu
"Luxembourg hackerspace unlike that Bratislava has a huge area (reading room, workshop, separate bar with a fridge full of Club Mate) and also great support from the city itself, thus they can afford to Luxembourg ratios symbolic Member - only € 6 per month. Every day there are 5-10 people present during the presentations and special events (like the after party hack.lu) a little more. Interestingly in this area is the language of communication, says most members(Thanks to Pavol for this nice blogpost on us!)

What is the Warzone Project?
The Warzone Project is an attempt of PS:One and HacDC to create a Darknet, which connects all Hackerspaces at the world.
The idea behind this is to build up a Community "Platform" for the hackerspaces. A place where they can share their files, connect to each other and so on
and not using other services, where we don't know what they're doing with our data and to keep our privacy.
But also to create a sandbox for IT-Security researcher, where they don't have to worry about compromising another one's system and information and
to have some "CTF" fun.
The networks of dn42, ChaosVPN and Agora Link are already participating in this darknet.
So, the Warzone is the sandbox of this darknet for CTF, Security Research Groups, Hackerspaces and all kind of people interested in IT-Security.
So how will syn2cat.lu participate in this darknet/Warzone?
So, the first idea is to join the darknet, to become part of the big international community of hackers, sharing files and so on.
A problem is the Warzone:
We don't have enough people (and mostly experienced people) to actually participate in the Warzone project yet. So, to actually do something
in the direction of IT-Security, the idea was to organize so called "workshops* where we get together and work together to learn one specific thing
of IT-Security, organizing talks and so on. Because, learning in a group and learning from talking with other people, is by far more productive than
simply reading a book, alone in the corner of your house.
So when are these "workshops"?
So, first, please give me times and dates, where all of you interested in the Warzone Project, have time to come by, so that I can build a timetable.

HaxoGreen 2010 - Hackers' SummerCamp
Whether you want to attend lectures and workshops, hack on your projects or just share 3 midsummer nights outdoors, socialising with other hackers, artists and geeks, HaxoGreen is the place to be. No need to be a 1337 H4X0r, we welcome all inquisitive people from around the globe.
The camp is organized by the community around Luxembourg's Hackerspace syn2cat and the Chaos Computer Club Lëtzebuerg. We appreciate your participation, be it by holding a lecture, a workshop or presenting your projects and ideas during a 10 min lightning talk.
Also don't miss the movies and music in the evenings on our big screen.
The camp is located at the scouts' ground near the city of Dudelange in the southern region of Luxembourg/Europe. The camping ground features adequate restrooms and shower facilities. Indoor rooms for lectures and workshops are also available.
The nearby town of Dudelange, near the borders to France and Germany, offers access to shops and markets for all of your grocery needs.
Visit the Camp-Wiki: http://events.hackerspace.lu/camp/2010
In the other room the lab area has been reorganized and fitted with a purpose-built electronics table with a permanent soldering station and circuit analysis equipment.
More pictures of our rejuvenated location can be found here. If you want to visit the space, hold an association meeting there or work on some projects but the space is closed, just drop us a line and we'll get back to you really quickly!

Jingle and Logo contest - Win 6 months of free membership.
syn2cat is looking for a new logo and a new jingle for its radio show. Be the lucky winner of 6 months free membership to Luxembourg's Hackerspace!
What is there to win?
If your submission in either the radio jingle or logo contest wins (by public vote at the end of the timeframe) you get 6 months free access to the Hackerspace. (Please note that if you already payed your membership, these 6 months will be added. We cannot refund money, sorry.)
Also, at the suggestion of JollySea, there's also a 2nd place to both contests which involves one crate of Club-Mate.
Logo
The winning design will become syn2cat's main logo and of course there will be apparel with it ;)
Jingle
The winning jingle will become the entry jingle to our RadioShow: LetzHack.
Who can participate?
This contest is open to everyone.
Timeframe
The contest began on November 14th, 2009 and will end at 23:05 MET on January 23rd, 2010. During that time, any number of submissions to the contest can be made.
The polls will be open until February 1st and the winners will be announced at the General Assembly in February 2010.
Requirements
Both the logo as well as the jingle should have a recognition value. That is to say that they should bear resemblances to either of the current logos (barcode or pcb) and jingle.
The logo has to be a scalable vector graphic. (Preferably Inkscape SVG)
The jingle can be in any file format but shouldn't exceed 20-30 seconds More information on the jingle can be found here: https://www.hackerspace.lu/wiki/RadioJingle

Rest in Pixels, Oneup; creator of stuff, inspiration to people
Though none of the syn2cat people had the chance to know him personally, many have expressed how they were emotionally touched by this tragic event.
"Even though I didn't know him", someone told me, "I feel like he was part of the family; somehow, all hackers feel like a big family to me." I can only stress that this is a shared feeling and that I hope that Florian's ideas as well as his motto: "When in doubt, do it!" will live on and keep on motivating people to do what Florian achieved and aspired to in his short lifespan.
Many open questions frame his death and the shock waves of this tragedy have spread far beyond Florian's family and friends, reaching out to followers, admirers and soul mates throughout the world. We would like to express our deepest sympathy at the loss of someone who has been, and should have continued to be, an idol to many of us.
