- jtdev 5y agoDo you know if CCC supports regional chapters?
- tazjin 5y agoYes, they're called Erfa-Kreise: https://www.ccc.de/en/club/erfas https://www.ccc.de/en/club/erfas They're all in German-speaking countries.
- martin_a 5y agoIn Germany there are various "local subsidiaries", mainly in or around larger cities. They are also often somewhat tied/connected with local hackerspaces and whatnot.
- tazjin 5y agoGood luck. In countries like Germany or Norway there is a culture of hacker organisations sustaining themselves financially via their members. This culture doesn't exist in Sweden, and the spaces and organisations that aren't subsidised by government funds or universities all disappear after a few years. (Source: Lived in all three countries, was active in such organisations in all three countries)
- zibzab 5y agoOh, there are tons of hackerspaces in Sweden. Its just that they are either tied to universities, startup clusters or for kids. I guess you were simply not in contact with the right people.
- tazjin 5y agoYou're saying exactly the same thing as me: There are very few independent hacker spaces (in most cities, none), unlike in Germany and Norway where that is the norm.
- 271828182846 5y agoCCC isn't a hacker space as I understand the term. CCC is a club of security experts. hacker spaces are communal spaces where you can tinker with peers using provided tools.
- jan_Inkepa 5y agoIn Germany the CCC has a lot of physical clubs where people hang out. They have some specialised equipment, but are from my limited experience more social spaces for cohacking, giving talks, etc. There's also the chaos communication congress, with is a big hacker festival/conference (by the same group of people), run by I think the same org, and I've never fully understood how one navigates the identical acronyms...
- pvorb 5y agoTypically, the Chaos Communication Congress is referred to by its number and the abbreviation C3. So it's 36C3 for the last regular installment.
- pantalaimon 5y agoChaos Computer Club also means there are actual physical club rooms where members can meet.
- shezi 5y agoThe CCC is both. It's a club of computer- and technology-interested d people. Most cities have some rented space that doubles as a hacker and tinker space. It really depends on the members in each city what the specific location looks like. That there is also a branch of very public security experts is... Incidental, I'd say.

- ValentineC 5y agoBecause of COVID?
- teddyh 5y agoCurrently, I suppose, but no; it’s been “active” since about 2010.

- birktj 5y agoAs a Norwegian I would love some pointers to the Norwegian hacker spaces. I am vaguely familiar with some, but it would be nice with some more info.
- tazjin 5y agoI'm mostly familiar with the Oslo scene, which has Hackeriet[0] (of which I'm still a member) with more of a CCC-style crowd and Bitraf[1] which has a lot of physical equipment for "makers" and has a much larger space. Hackeriet's IRC channel is also quite nice (though usually in Norwegian and/or svorsk). There's a few other organisations, notably Teknologihuset[2] which has some communities organising regular events and NUUG[3] which doesn't have a physical space but moves around and is generally a good community to get in contact with. Note that NUUG have members all throughout Norway, and also an active (Norwegian) IRC channel, which may be a good place to ask about other towns as my knowledge of those is either outdated or non-existing! Ses på IRC! :) [0]: https://hackeriet.no https://hackeriet.no [1]: https://bitraf.no/ https://bitraf.no/ [2]: https://www.teknologihuset.no/ https://www.teknologihuset.no/ [3]: https://nuug.no https://nuug.no
- ValentineC 5y agoHave you tried the Hackerspaces wiki? https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Norway https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Norway
- Zolomon 5y agoI would join in a heartbeat!
- Tistron 5y agoCheck out https://www.blivande.com/ https://www.blivande.com/ Burners, artists and (I think) hackers doing stuff together in Stockholm. (I'm not in sthlm but part of the Scandinavian burning scene)
