Anyhow, the best way, how to join us is to join us :). Just come in and socialize a bit. See the instructions on how to get here and introduce yourself. This is required, so we can verify yours pure hacking intentions (: and give us a month (or five visits) to decide about accepting new member.

Joining our society involves paying a membership fee at Member Portal, which currently (2024) is 800 CZK (480 CZK for students) per month.

See the part "Becoming a Member" for instruction on what you need to do to become member and information on how to pay. We use this money to pay the rent for our space, to buy needed equipment and to support interesting projects, that would not be feasible otherwise.
