Open Labs Hackerspace Tirana – Not only for geeks
The most difficult thing of all the difficulties in writting an article is choosing what you're going to write for! I couldn't decide which the place I love the most is, until I realised I was right there! Open Labs Hackerspace: if not my favourite, it is definitely one of my favourite ones.
Open Labs is a community-based non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting open source technologies. Don't be scared, everybody can pass by and socialize with locals, and not only. The hackerspace is a very friendly environment. The members of the community are willing to help in any case and describe what they exactly do, so you can even help if you want to.
I stop there every time I need to study, work on a project or when I just want to have fun, learn new things, socialize with new people, participate on events or listen to good music. Many students find the hackerspace as the best place to practice their English as it is often visited by open source and open knowledge lovers from all over the world.
I hate doing nothing, so when I've got nothing to do I know the right place to spend some quality time. Open Labs is the place where you should head to if you want a place that feels like home but is way cooler than that.
P.S. You have to ask here (Telegram link) if the hackerspace is open, otherwise you may find it closed.
