+subtitle: The start of Digital Glarus!

+
+## Introduction
+
+In 2014 ungleich relocated from the city of Zurich to the canton of
+Glarus. After moving we were so impressed by the landscape and the
+ability to finally work fully concentrated that we wanted to share
+this experience with others.
+
+The idea of a "Digital Glarus was born.
+
+From 2014 to 2015 we looked at various locations and settled for an
+19th century house in the pretty village of
+[Schwanden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwanden,_Glarus).
+
+## The Digital Chalet
+
+Just two days after opening, the first group came for an offsite
+work-weekend. Just soon after the first students moved into the
+Digital Chalet. Something that many people we talked to doubted.
+
+Something that many locals did not see is that the canton of Glarus is
+really, really, pretty. Compared to a lot of places in the world. And
+it is also very stable. And it can easily be reached by train, even
+without ever changing from Zurich.
+
+The longer the Digital Chalet was open, the more we heard from people
+who really love staying here and how they can relax much better than
+in a city.
+
+## ...leads to Digital Glarus
+
+After getting so much positive feedback, we decided to grow the
+project, to make the location more known. For that reason we created
+the project "[Digital Glarus](/u/projects/digital-glarus)" with the
+objective to allow people from outside of Glarus to enjoy this place.
+
+
+## The first...
+
+The Digital Chalet is the first of many things. It is
+the first coworking space of Glarus - every! It is also the first
+location of [Digital Glarus](/u/projects/digital-glarus).
+It is probably also the first 19th century
+house in the canton with a 10Gbit/s+ network connection (fiber can do
+more, but we have "only" 10 Gbit/s transceivers installed).
+
+It is also the place in which we first started with the
+[Data Center Light](/u/projects/data-center-light) prototype.
+
+It is probably also the first house in the canton to feature
+a LoRaWAN gateway.
+
+We are not sure if it is the first house that can be
+opened via mobile phone, but it certainly isn't the last.
+
+## Innovating in Digital Glarus
+
+As you can see, we are doing quite a lot of new things here in Digital
+Glarus. If you want to relax, hack or work somewhere else or if you
+are a student in Zurich, feel free to join us!
