NEWLINE
3-4-5 September 2021 (*)
To celebrate hackerspace.gent and the hacker community once a year, we organize the "Newline" hacker conference in the spring.
A newline character marks the end of a line and moves the cursor to the next one. It's a sign of progress and it gives you a whole new line to be filled.
Lets join for some short accessible talks, warm food, cold beer and Club Mate.
Why would you come? Glad you asked. It is an excellent opportunity to learn cool stuff and meet new people.
It's peer-organised, free (as in access and in speech) and, quite frankly, we'd love you to show up.
* Unless active regulations do not allow it.
the 1010th edition
We're kidding, thats binary for "10".
For the 10th year, 30+ volunteers are preparing the gathering that is Newline. In that 10 years the hackerspace has grown, shrunk, grown, shrunk and grown again. Friends have been made, enemies have been liquidated (jk). People have learned, shared, loved..., anything can happen at Newline.
The 10th edition - or the 1010th edition if you prefer binary notation (and some software developers do) - takes place in our jubilee year. We aim to make this a special one, and will try to do some stunts to make it unforgettable
Get your nerd out.
With great Newline comes great responsibility.The hacker community is a diverse one. We welcome people from all walks of life, and we promote mutual respect. Whether you identify as a grape, wear a tail or are a time traveller, feel welcome! Anything goes. Come talk about your ketchup addiction, show off your ballet moves or come tell us why you should be the next president of the cheese club.
We are an open forum, a listening audience. We love technology but we sure would also love to learn more about any kind of hobby you might have. If you need space or resources or a room filled with people, just let us know through the participation form.

Schedule
It takes real planning to organize this kind of chaos.If you are wondering why there is no detailed schedule yet..
It's because we are looking for passionate people that want to share their knowledge and experience! Fill in our CFP!Sponsors
Because we can't do it alone.
Taking what is, learning to the best of my ability, and eventually sharing it. That's hacking.
