Hacker News Meetup Netherlands

[hassy]

There's a lot of HN readers in NL (and Belgium & Luxembourg) - we should meet up.

If we were to host one this Saturday in Amsterdam or Utrecht, how many would turn up?

There was talk of getting a meetup going a couple of months ago, but it doesn't seem like it happened in the end - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=998352

Why Saturday? Why not - let's do it fast and get something going.

EDIT: Please post where you are, and whether you'd be up for doing a short 5-minute demo/talk on something you're working on.

We've held the primer several months ago. Although it wasn't very much blogged about it was a great success!

BjornW [http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=BjornW] was so kind to host this meetup in his office. There is a site and mailinglist. BjornW already wanted to organise another one. So I guess we should do so. http://hackersnl.nl/

I live in Limburg, I'd love to come but it is too far for me... sorry!

This is probably one of the first times that I'm genuinely sorry that I don't live in 'Mokum' any more.

I work in Amsterdam and live in the Amsterdam area, so Amsterdam or Utrecht would be no problem for me.

However, for me personally, I'm fully booked every weekend the coming months. But don't let that stop you :-)

Edit: I'd be up for a short talk about a personal/work Javascript/jQuery project I've been working on. Very not exciting, just very practical for our organization.

It happened: http://bluwiki.com/go/Hackersnl and it was a lot of fun :) Try contacting Beeker http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=beeker because there were talks about doing this more often.

Cool, thanks, should make this one much easier to organize then.
