Hackerkväll with the Information Organ
Another Thursday, another hackerkväll!
"What is a 'hackerkväll'?", you might ask. In that case you can find more information on the event from last week, here: https://datasektionen.se/en/news/11077
This week we will (probably) be in a computer hall in the Q house, rather than the E house as usual. ~~Exact location will be posted later.~~ More exactly, we are in XQ25
Hiking and overnight stay in Roslagsleden
Welcome to an exciting hiking event along Etapp 1 of Roslagsleden!🌲🥾 This fantastic 15 km long trail will take you on a scenic journey through the beautiful landscapes of Roslagen, where you can experience Swedish nature in a more adventurous way. No previous hiking experience is required to participate, but you should be in good shape and able to carry your own sleeping bag 💪🏞️.
We will meet outside META on Friday, September 22nd at 5:30 PM, and from there, we will head to Roslagsleden, where we will hike, cook on camp stoves, and sleep in tents under the stars ✨🏕️. We will return home on Saturday, September 23rd, around 5:00 PM. The sports committee is paying for the food 🍲.
OBS You don't have to stay overnight; it's perfectly fine to only participate in the hike and then go home later at night. We will stop at Rösjö camping, where you can take bus 607 to Danderyd Hospital, and from Danderyd Hospital, you can take the subway home.
(If you're going to stay overnight) Please bring your own sleeping bag and a positive attitude, and let's together create an unforgettable experience in nature! 🌿🌟 IMPORTANT You must bring your own sleeping bag, hiking backpack and water bottles! It might be possible to borrow if you don't have one, but we cannot guarantee anything 🎒💧.
If you're not going to sleep in a tent, we recommend bringing some form of tool or means of keeping the mosquitoes away when you go to sleep. Mosquito nets usually work well 🦟.
Date: 22/9 - 23/9 Meeting point: META Destination: Etapp 1 Distance: 15 km 🗓️🏞️🥾

Kayaking with the Sports Club
Hello Chapter! 🍁🚣
Sign up at: https://dsekt.se/647- 📝
A new fall semester is upon us. With it comes autumn and a colder climate. But before it gets too cold, and the water is still somewhat warm, the sports committee will arrange another day of kayak paddling! On the 9th of September, we will once again travel to Velamsund and take the water-bound vessels out for a spin. All members that sign up are welcome.🤽🌊
The plan is to meet up at 9:00 at the bus station at Slussen. From there, we will commute together to Kihls gård, walk the rest of the way, and arrive at the kayaking clubhouse around 10:00.
Depending on how many sign up, we will split up into groups of ~20 people and paddle one group at a time. We will have one morning and one afternoon session. There will be activities on land when the others are out paddling, and if you want to go for a run or hike trails out there, you are welcome to do so! 🏃♀️🏞️
For lunch, we will offer hotdogs 🌭 and waffles 🧇. There will also be fika ☕ and fruit 🍓 to eat during the day.
Schedule (might be subjected to change or delays):
- 9:00 AM - We meet at Slussen to commute to Velamsund.
- 10:00ish - We arrive at Velamsund. If you need to change, you can do that now. We will serve some bread 🍞, tea 🍵 and coffee ☕ now.
- 10:30ish - The first group starts kayaking.
- 10:30-12:30 One group is paddling. The other group will be doing whatever they feel like on land. We will bring frisbees 🥏, spikeball 🏐, brännboll ⚾, etc.
- 12:30 - Lunch. Hotdogs + potato salad, and waffles are served.
- 13:30-15:30 - The second group paddles.
- 15:30-17:30 - Free time. It is possible to paddle more or do other activities on land.
- 17:30-18:00 - Time to go home. If the weather is nice and people want to stay, we could probably stay longer. 🌅
Practicalities:
IMPORTANT! You need to be able to swim to join the paddling. 🏊♂️
- Bring proper clothing 👕
- Something to paddle in. 🚣♀️
- A jacket to shield you from the cold 🧥
- Warm gloves when paddling this time of year might be nice 🧤
- Clothes for being active on land. 👟
- Change of clothes for after you paddled. 👕
- Towel, if you fall into the water or want to take a shower. 🛀
- The Chapter is not paying for the trip to and from the location of paddling. 🚗💰
Enjoy the event and have a great time! 😊🌊🚣♂️
