Fixme is an excellent place to organise all your awesome events. We welcome everything relating to technology, electronics, hacking, making, meetups, cryptocurrencies, competitions, talks, conferences, (relevant) politics, and much more! We already hold numerous events every month - at least one event a week, with one large event a month at a minimum. Check out our [https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/sruulkb8vh28dim9bcth8emdm4%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics calendar]!
== Location ==
=== Fixme ===
'''Capacity''': 20 people
You are encouraged to organise events here at any time! (Wednesday evenings may be a bit cramped though)
=== Makerspace ===
'''Capacity''': however many you can fit in 250m^2
You can organise events here for anything to do with electronics, making, woodworking, laser cutting, plasma cutting, cnc machining, or other projects that wouldn't fit into fixme. Usage of machines requires a belt, and if your belt color isn't blue or higher, someone with that has to be present. The exact protocol for organizing events here is still in beta; '''you need to talk to Marc (the makerspace manager) before planning anything'''.
=== Meetup space ===
'''Capacity''': 60+ people
Great for larger events, generally unavailable on Wednesday evenings, more and more solicited on Tuesday and Thursday nights. '''You need to talk to UniverCité's Community Manager before planning anything.''' Requires being added to UC calendar (see below) AFTER that to avoid overbooking.
=== Coworking Rooms ===
'''Capacity''': 10 people for big one (aka coworking meeting room), 5 people for small one (aka le bocal / la war room)
'''Priority is always given to coworkers. You need to talk to UniverCité's Community Manager before planning anything.''' Requires being added to UC calendar (see below) AFTER that to avoid overbooking.
