InitLabv3

Initlab v3 is the current space for Initlab.

(While we're still working on the wiki intensively, here's an overview of all pages in the InitLabv3 prefix: Table of Contents)

Address

The hackerspace is located on 6 Rila Street in Sofia, Bulgaria (in cyrillic: ул. "Рила" 6, София, България). Please note that this is the Rila Street near Lavov Most, not in Pancharevo.

Practical informating when visiting

• Taking out the garbage
• Food and drinks

Entering

When the space is already unlocked, the door to init Lab is opened automatically when you call the phone number 02/4624356. The system will hang up and unlock the door for you. There is a regular doorbell as well.

Trusted members of the lab with a Fauna account can lock and unlock the lab. All members can lock it using the web interface.

If you have an account in the Fauna and have entered a door code, you can also use the Bulphone to open the door. See here. If you are a trusted member, you can also unlock the door.

Leaving

This is a checklist for the last person who is leaving the lab:

• Close all windows
• Turn off all the lights inside.
• Close the doors.
• Go down to the entrance door.
• Open the entrance door and press the red button on the white box above the switchboard.
• After you get out, the door will be locked (it makes a very distinctive sound).
• When outside, just close the external black door, there is no need to lock it with the padlock.
