Make protective device covers

Protect your gear in a self-made device cover. Materials, tools and instructions will be provided, bring your own device and we'll work together to cover it up.

Trained tailor BamCe and amateur textiles enthusiast Olle from Forskningsavdelningen will be your hosts.

Engine bonanza

We will build engines. Stirling engines out of soda cans. Electrical engines out of broken hard drives. Perhaps even a steam engine. The engine is the limit.

phrst [frr:st] and Jonas [jonas] from Forskningsavdelningen will be your hosts and have done this before.

Laminar flow

We will build a special kind of water flow. Quite special. An unbroken shiny arm of water. We will try to build this during Hacknight.

STG and Jonas from Forskningsavdelningen will be your hosts and have NEVER done this before.

Let's build P2P web apps!

Following Mattias Wingstedt's presentation we will figure out if it's really that easy to build apps running in a P2P infrastructure and also what remains for the vision to become reality.

The table will also remain available throughout. Contact person: qzio of Forskningsavdelningen.

IPv6 is upon us!

Learn to set up IPv6. omni from Forskningsavdelningen will be our slightly whimsical guide.

Scrapheap table

Make art. At your disposal: Glue guns. Soldering irons. Screws. Nuts and bolts. The table will be full of dismantable junk goodies for you to repurpose. For inspiration, web search for any of the tool keywords and "cat".

VJ with Milkymist

The inventor, Sebastien, will show you how to VJ using Milkymist. Don't miss his talk.

Lockpicking

An unattended/unsurveilled table with locks, files, lock picks and various materials. Explore and if you're lucky you could find someone who can help.

Use GPRS with Arduino

David Cuartielles, Arduino platform co-founder, equipped with a new GPRS library and a couple of modems, will explain how to make your own Arduino creations communicate with the world (you will get a chance to try it out).

meshkit!

Jonathan Baldwin (@jrbaldwinn) will to tell us all about mesh network communities.

Jonathan Baldwin is researching and developing social networking tools to aid in the construction and sustainability of ad hoc and hybrid wireless mesh communities, through recycled hardware & DIY technology. Intrinsic social gaming and a peer to peer economy are introduced to create an environment of reciprocity, trust and interdependence, which are essential to the livelihood of the mesh network.

Linked Data!

Researcher Marie Gustafsson Friberger wants to talk about Open Data, and what can be done with it.

Wearable computing!

Maker and researcher Tony Olsson will explain the state of the art of wearable computing, so-called softwear. He co-authored a book about it, Open Softwear.

Seven ways to die!

Magnus Eriksson @monki

A human can die in seven ways: too hot, too cold, thirst, hunger, illness, injury... no internet.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?

This talk introduces a way of mapping where the dependencies for our current Internets are located and how we can move them closer to ourselves to see what is necessary to build to achieve more resilient and free networks. It uses the "Six Ways to Die" way of modelling threats and resources in disaster situations (made by @leashless) and applies it to running the Internet. Examples will come from DIY efforts and research projects.)

Milkymist VJ

Sebastien Bourdeauducq

The Milkymist project is an informal organization of people and companies who develop, manufacture and sell a comprehensive open source hardware and software solution for the live synthesis of interactive visual effects for video performance artists. The project goes great lengths to apply the open source principles at every level possible, and is best known for the Milkymist system-on-chip (SoC) which is among the first commercialized system-on-chip designs with free HDL source code.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?

As a result, several Milkymist technologies have been reused in applications unrelated to video synthesis. For example, NASA's Communication Navigation and Networking Reconfigurable Testbed (CoNNeCT) experiment uses the memory controller that was originally developed for the Milkymist system-on-chip and published under the GNU GPL.

IAIO

Etu will introduce us to IAIO (Internet Activism Infrastructure Organization). The newly started organization wants to turn donations into stable infrastructure to internet activists.

P2P web apps

The cloud is evergrowing in size and popularity. Mattias Wingstedt works on a P2P approach to create an alternative that could compete in simplicity for developers.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?

By using public key cryptography, an open access control system and peer-to-peer connections, the control and data is moved back to the users, where it belongs. Read more in the white paper.

Shared online inventory

Michel Legnered will introduce Inventoria, a web site where you can lend sugar to you neighbour, or perhaps even a power drill. The project is Open Source and open for others to pitch in and assist.

Pubsub.io

Copenhagen-based Ian Jørgensen (@ianjorgensen) will present a brand-new Node.js-based Open Source project.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?

Pubsub.io is an attempt to change the way we publish and consume live data. Our take on pubsub is that the usual channel paradigm is too tightly coupled; instead of forcing things into string-based channels, pubsub.io lets you describe what you're looking for. It will change the way we build real-time applications. Pubsub.io is written 100% in node.js, but is accessible to any platform. Coming coon, Arduino support and data property authentication.

[maybe] Illutron

Copenhagen-based Illutron member Vanessa Carpenter could present the works and history of their boat-art-space.

Crypto talk

Malmö-based hackers Teddy and Björn present their latest work in cryptography. If you think you have seen this before, think again! The talk has been revised and updated. Practices and programs you thought safe yesterday might have become unsafe. Slides can be found HERE

Online video broadcasting during the Arabic Spring

Malmö-based Måns Adler (@Manster) runs a video service. During this year's upheaval in Egypt and elsewhere, people were using lots of digital ways to publish themselves. We will get to know how that worked for the online video service.

[maybe] Copenhagen Suborbitals

Copenhagen-based rocketry enthusiasts Copenhagen Suborbitals. could present their history and practice.
