Hi! Since we figured that at some people here ought to be from somewhere, germany, we thought a bit about starting a hn-meetup in stuttgart ( which should be well reachable for most people in that area ). We would like the meetup to take place around the end of march.<p>The intent of this post is to find out if there is any interest in such a meeting, and if, how many of you consider joining us. So please, vote with yes if you want to take part.<p>As far as the meetup is concernced, we'd suggest some lightning talks ( e.g. about the highest voted submission of the speaker ) to get to know each other, but it's just a suggestion.
Depending on the count of participants, I'd organise a suitable venue. For free, of course.<p>Edit: I put up a small page on my blog for the meetup http://tinyurl.com/hnstuttgart<p>@rb2k & @derwildemomo
I live in the Benelux, so Cologne would be a lot better.
But more importantly, those who would consider going to a Hackernews Meetup, where do they live?
Why not Karlsruhe? It has the KIT, one of the highest rated universities in the field of Computer Science, so lot's of people (hackers) there that might be interested.
(And Karlsruhe is about 64km away from Stuttgart.)
Is it likely for a CS student to find a job or an internship there or is this strictly intended for startup-founders? If the first case is true, I'm in.
