May 14 this year, the triennal Quarnevalen occurred again in Stockholm. I had the good fortune of finding a nice spot early on in this student parade, and was able to take a number of nice pictures.
Here, I'd like to use these pictures as a base for explaining swedish student culture in general and Quarnevalen in particular to friends abroad, and in particular to friends within the hacker/maker culture.
( Swedish students )
The next Quarneval is in 2014. As evidenced by the club Mosquito, and by the several non-student orchestras walking the parade, being a student is not a prerequisite to participate. In three years, we should be able to assemble a cool crowd of hackers and makers, and get some sort of living arrangements cleared out et.c. and build a kick-ass hackers of the world float. What do y'all say?
