Foundation & Bylaws

What is Analog?

Founding

At its core, the goal of Analog is to maintain a student-driven, non-profit cafe at the University. It is a place for relaxation, board games, and music. Analog does not wish to be commercialised, and will always prioritise keeping our baristas and customers happy. In Analog, we always serve an honest cup of coffee.

When was Analog founded?

The story goes that Analog was started by five students around Spring 2010, who wanted to undercut the canteen. They went to the now closed Netto at the start of Rued Langgards Vej, bought instant coffee, and sold it for five kroner. At the time, Analog's current location was the library, and thus Analog existed in the room below the stairs in the Atrium. When Analog grew larger, it switched location with the library, and the library was since closed and converted to a server room. Next to the entrance to the bar are the pictures and signatures of our five founders.

Bylaws & the General Assembly

The very core of any organisation are its bylaws. Analog's full set of bylaws can be found BY CLICKING HERE.

These bylaws are reviewed and approved by the General Assembly, which occurs every semester. The event is mandatory. The date of the event is announced no later than three weeks beforehand. An agenda is published no later than 7 days beforehand. The event is held biannually; at the end of April and November.

If you are not able to attend the mandatory General Assembly, you must notify a board member.

At the General Assembly, you will get to hear the chairperson's report, the treasurer's report, and the auditor's report. This is the big picture of what has been happening in Analog during the course of the semester. Afterwards the election of the new board will take place. In between there will be a break for dinner, which is provided by Analog. And don't worry - there will also be plenty of snacks and drinks throughout to make sure we stay on our toes!

Values

It is an endless discussion what the values of Analog actually are. Many hours have been spent trying to define a set of values, and they are always changing. Our stance on sustainability, advertisements, and sponsorships are all things that are subject to change. However, some values never change.

We are driven by trust

We have a flat organisation where everyone has equal say. You are the boss!

It's not about the money

Analog is a non-profit café, and your performance will never be measured by how many cups of coffee you can get across the counter. In fact, your performance is not at all important. What is important is that you enjoy your time in Analog at your own pace. Forget about money. Analog has enough! 

Make it your own

We all have our own interpretation of what it means to volunteer in Analog. Create your own version of what you think it means! Create your own fun. Do what you enjoy doing in Analog. Join the Board, become part of a crew, play with Instagram, or perhaps something entirely different? We have space for everyone!
