HN Meet-up Netherlands

Update 1 I'm for a democracy of input, but a autocratic way of making decisions. Hence the following.<p>- place of meeting: in Utrecht - Date: soon (tbd) - Digital home (temporary): here on HN or <a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hackers-nl/" rel="nofollow">http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hackers-nl/</a> - Non-commercial and low-cost (so no Igluu) - Important? Passion&#38;Spirit<p>I would like to organise this thing. Seriously. Lifelong hacker but rusty on the tech-skills. So I have developed reasonable social skills ;) If you all have a true interest in this I would be a very happy man.<p>Suggestions are welcome regarding: - possible locations in Utrecht - presentation-style (long-medium-short) - topics

If Utrecht is an acceptable place we could do it at iGluu (my shared office)<p>15 euros each for drinks &#38; location for a couple of hours.<p>Looks like this: <a href="http://www.igluu.nl/img/slideshowOneSpace/050.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.igluu.nl/img/slideshowOneSpace/050.jpg</a><p>10 min. walk from Utrecht C.S. (train station) Car: parking available nearby but Utrecht will be Utrecht.<p>I've got two possible dates: 29th of December, 7th of January. (unfortunately I can't make it myself on the 7th). In both cases the time would be c. 19:00 - 22:00 I'm not sure on the proper way to do this but I guess upvoting your preference would do the trick.<p>Edit: location, time.

If an intro to Clojure and/or musical programming (live-coding) sounds interesting to people I'd be happy to present and demo an audio synthesis system I've been working on. (<a href="http://github.com/rosejn/overtone" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/rosejn/overtone</a>) It uses an interesting DSL for reading and writing binary files, does some networking, and lets you define DSP graphs for synthesizing audio.

Would love to attend, as long as there would be some talks in English (I don't know Dutch that well). I'm in Haarlem / Amsterdam.

I see a lot of votes for Utrecht and Amsterdam. These cities are a 25 minutes travel from each other. Like birger said: seats2meet.com is a great concept that we can use for this meetup. I am definitely game. But organizing this on HN is going to be hard. The Yahoo group is an option to make some clear arrangements.

I'm interested too, i live in the north of Belgium, so Eindhoven would be great :)

Definitely interested, make that a vote for Eindhoven (closer to Belgium).

Interested. I'm in Ghent, Belgium. I can travel in the weekends.

I would love to meet some Dutch HN-ers! I'm also in Amsterdam.

Interested! Live in Utrecht but could travel to Amsterdam easily. Would be nice to have 1 or 2 presentations I think, as it spices up the evening.

Could we have a poll on what city to do the meetup in?

What should a meet-up be like? Should there be presentations, workshops or just share drinks and ideas? Please comment with suggestions!

Yet another interested! Originally from Sweden, but living in Groningen. But location of the meet-up should not be a problem. :)

Cool idea! I live in Amsterdam too. I'm game.

Living in Delft, Netherlands. I would be interested. I can also arrange a meeting place here for (almost) free.

Interested! (and peer pressured into joining for just this!) Amsterdam or Utrecht, Delft will all do :)

Interested, Eindhoven. Unfortunately, my Dutch is not good, i hope there will be some talks in English.

Interested. Utrecht and amsterdam are both fine by me. Sneek would be to much of a commute :)

I'm interested but not definitely, located in Enschede but can travel in the weekends.

Sounds great, I prefer Utrecht

Interested. I'm in Amsterdam.

Interested and in Antwerp, but most cities in Holland won't be a problem.

I'm interested and I'm from Eindhoven. Traveling is generally no problem.

I'm in as well. Amsterdam.

Definately interested. Located in Utrecht and able to provide a space.

I'm in, living in Enschede, so I'd prefer Utrecht to Amsterdam.

Count me in (Eindhoven). Early January would be perfect for me.
