The Chaostreff Bern is a meetup of hackers in Bern, Switzerland.

Since July 2024 we are located at Zwyissigstrasse 45, 3007 Bern, next to Loryplatz. Previously, from Dec 2018 to June 2024, we had our own rooms at Kyburgstrasse 13, 3013 Bern.

The Space[edit]

The Chaostreff Bern originally started out as a regular gathering in a restaurant, but we soon decided to rent some space at the Güterstrasse 8 in Bern. From December 2018 to June 2024, we had our own space at Kyburgstrasse 13. The rooms were about 100m² in size and offered tables and couches for discussion and hacking. We had a small kitchen, a hackcenter for meetings, workshops and presentations and a lab for silent work, repairing and making. As the building was due for renovation, we found a new home from July 2024 at Zwyssigstrasse 45, right next to Loryplatz. The new space offers a lot more space, containing 8 rooms, a bathroom and a shower with a total area of approx. 270m². This allows us to plan for more concurrent activities and multi use areas with the big hackcenter as the central point, a 'small hackcenter' room for meetings and smaller rooms for more specific purposes (workshop, 3D printer room, Pen'n'Paper Room, Cinema and a small kitchen). Most of the rooms also include couches and offer the possibility to find a quiet place for discussions or smalltalk.

Meetups[edit]

We meet every Tuesday evening, starting at 19:00. Everybody is welcome, visitors are invited to pay CHF 5 per evening. Usually, someone is around on other evenings. But please check in our XMPP Conference before your visit. Special events are announced on our website

Membership[edit]

A membership at Chaostreff Bern costs CHF 480 per year. See our membership page for details. If your financial situation does not allow for that, don't hesistate to talk to us. We'll find a solution that works out for everyone.

Projects[edit]

Our split-flap displays
  • We recently purchased a bunch of split-flap display modules from the Swiss Federal Railways and plan to build a display with them
  • We're building a barcode-based system for pre-paid Club-Mate purchases
  • Our members run various services such as Jabber or a Git server
