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
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.
Stickers
In the hallway rest area there is a small table with stickers and brochures that you can take.
If you represent a hackerspace or an open-source project please feel free to leave us some.
