Come to check out our hackerspace, talk to people and learn some new things, maybe use the tools for a short while, or just sit down with a laptop and do some work in a quiet place. Also a good time to sign up for a membership! We will have tea and coffee, likely also cookies. Come whenever from 19:00 till 22:00 - we might even be open until 24:00! If there's a problem (i.e. doors not open), call 28701072.

On March 17 at 18:00, there will be a home get-together, freshly baked waffles and conversation. You can **bring board games, cards, your own drinks, etc.** The more entertainment options, the better. You can come after 18:00; we'll still be there ;) The event will take place in a private apartment, when you arrive, the host (Oskars) will meet you outside. ——— ***The event is donation-based.** ——— Address: Ludzas iela 58, Riga, Latvia ——— Is there parking place ? Yes, there is, on the main street. But it's easier to get there by public transport (15 trolleybus). The bus stop is very close.

I had to change this event from "Appreciation of Ramanujan's Mathematics". Instead, we will just gather and solve undergraduate level math problems which I can share. Sorry for the disappointmet and inconvenience! The title of the event cannot be changed and so will just stay as it was. **I will decide the venue (including whether to hold it in-person or online) closer to the event day. Please RSVP if you are interested in coming.**

I am thinking of doing a speed dating event in Riga, prefarably for people interested in math and/or spirituality, but anyone above 20 years old may come. Please RSVP if you are interested in coming so that I know whether to hold the event and provide more details.

Join us for Quiz Night, followed by drinks and socializing.
