## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Digital Glarus](https://digitalglarus.ch) is an umbrella project to
|
||
|
|
support the local community to profit from the digitalisation and to
|
||
|
|
support the digital community to profit from the amazing opportunities
|
||
|
|
in the [Canton of Glarus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glarus).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What we are doing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In 2015 we opened the first coworking space of Glarus in
|
||
|
|
Schwanden, the **Digital Chalet**. It was not only the first coworking
|
||
|
|
space, it is also the first building that was equipped with a direct
|
||
|
|
fiber line, initially giving access to a 1 Gbit/s line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two days after opening, the first offsite happened. Our goal in 2015
|
||
|
|
was already to give people the opportunity to stay in a pretty place
|
||
|
|
and still be connected to a big city like Zurich.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since we opened in 2015, we welcomed many students (usually from
|
||
|
|
the [university of Zurich](https://www.uzh.ch/)
|
||
|
|
or [ETH Zurich](https://ethz.ch)) from a lot of different countries
|
||
|
|
(Canada, Scotland, Greece, Germany, Slovakia, ...) in the Digital
|
||
|
|
Chalet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We also organise [various
|
||
|
|
meetups](https://www.meetup.com/Digital-Glarus-Business-Technology/)
|
||
|
|
with technical and business topics.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the Digital Chalet getting crowded, we opened a new location
|
||
|
|
in 2019: the [Hacking Hotel](/u/projects/hacking-hotel). We plan to
|
||
|
|
turn the Hacking Hotel into a school and will offer first courses in
|
||
|
|
2020.
