What do we do?
The leadership of Hackerspace is responsible for making sure all the moving parts work together. We communicate with IDI and NEXUS and other organizations, both within and outside of NTNU. We also organize within the organization, working with all the groups to ensure smooth operations and that the projects have what they need to succeed. The leadership is responsible for some meetings and activities, including board meetings, Hackstart and Hackslutt, the general assembly, and any other events we want to run. We (aka Trang) are responsible for ordering things/pizza, reimbursing people, and making sure we stay within our budget. Mainly though, we’re here to make sure Hackerspace meets the needs and wishes of as many members as possible, as well as the rest of the students who come to the workshop for our help (or coffee).
Who are we?
Leader - Robin Pfeifer
Hi, my name’s Robin and I’m the leader of Hackerspace for 2026. I’m in my second year of the integrated master’s degree in Computer Science. I’m interested in low-level programming and math, so I spend a lot of my time on schoolwork. Outside of that though, I do aikido, play video and board games, lead the student scout group in Trondheim (TSSG), and participate in Hackerspace-related meetings. I joined Hackerspace in the fall of 2024 as a member of the (then) new TTRPG project. I’ve been deputy leader or leader of that project group ever since, so I’ve sat through a lot of board meetings. I look forward to working with the rest of the leadership, the board, and the membership to make Hackerspace the best it can be.
Deputy Leader - Ibrahim Fawad
Yo! My name is Ibrahim and I am the new deputy leader of Hackerspace for 2026. I joined devops recently in fall and quickly became a part of this passionate and welcoming community. I have some free time from my studies in cybersecurity and I really want to give back so that's why I volunteered to be the next in command. As the deputy leader, my responsibilities include being a paladin to our glorious leader Robin, bringing forth their command, and doing other tasks I deem important. I really look forward to growing Hackerspace to new heights together with them and our head of economy😼
Financial Manager - Trang Minh Duong
My name is Trang. I have (unfortunately) been appointed as the financial manager of Hackerspace. I'm a computer science major who also likes physics and maths. However if you have any questions regarding those two topics please don't ask me, I'll send you to the physics majors. In my free time I like to visit different cafés to read and draw, and I just started learning to play the bass guitar. I'm also a part of group LabOps and group project Doom PCB (please free me).
What are our goals for the next semester?
The previous leadership began the process of registering Hackerspace as an organization in Enhetsregisteret, so one of our main tasks at the moment is continuing that work. We’re going to meet with IDI to figure out the specifics of how it’ll work to be both a project of IDI and an organization in our own right, then hold an extraordinary general assembly so the membership can have a say in the process. Once we’re done with that, we’ll be able to set up a bank account, which will provide us the ability to get external sponsors and potentially collect payments for things like disposable coffee cups or merch. We’ll also get free access to Google Workspaces, allowing us to create Hackerspace email addresses and better organize our documents.
As always, one of our other main priorities is recruiting new members. We’ll be working with LabOps to make sure we have plenty of stands, courses, and other events. If you or your friends are interested in joining LabOps , Project: DOOM PCB , or Project: Game , applications are open.
In the name of Terje, the Workshop, and the Holy Banner, this has been Ledelsen.
