My favorite communities

These are my favorite communities of the Öresund (Copenhagen-Malmö) region.

CopenhagenJS

When: Every first Thursday of the month (which is not a holiday)

Demo Dag

Demo dag is an occasional Demo show in Copenhagen. It’s hosted around town by friends of the event.

When: Meetings are normally 3-4 times per year.

Location: Copenhagen and soon premiering in Malmö (see below)

Demos are:

• 7 minutes of anything that works.
• Anything goes, as long as you actually built it.
• No slideshows, just show us your thing.

It’s often software – but it doesn’t have to be! We like wood, plastic, electronics, software. As long as you made it.

Fabriken

Fabriken is a workshop for all things do-it-yourself, like digital production, wood works and electronics. There is a laser cutter, 3D-printers and much more available. If you ever wanted to build your own robot army in order to take over the world do housecleaning, this is the place to start.

When: Meetings are every Thursday.

When you build web sites, how do you make sure they work on all devices? By testing on lots of devices! Malmö Open Device Lab has a big collection of devices so that you don't have to.
