Doesn't exist yet -- but I'd love to start a HN meetup in Umea, Sweden. I've added details to the spreadsheet. Ping me if you're interested.

BTW, we take an "Open Source" approach to the Hackers & Founders brand. If you're interested in starting an H&F chapter, feel free... We have three rules: 1) Don't be an ass hole 2) Do the right thing for your people 3) Really try hard not to mess it up. Aside from that, get people together, talk about hacking, startups, geek out, find speakers if you wish, meet friends, etc... At H&F Silicon Valley, we generally just hang out in bars and talk. It's amazingly powerful. I found a bar that wasn't too busy, and I set up a Meetup page, that would remind me to host the event at the same venue every month. It handled all the RSVP crap and reminder emails for me. If you're worried about paying the subscription price for the meetup page, ping me. I can probably cover the cost for you. I'm way behind on emails, so it'll take me a while to get back to you, but I'll hook it up. If you startup an H&F chapter, or HN meetup, one of the best ways to find other like minded people is to try and get your event on the front page of HN :) Or, submit your meetups to: http://startupdigest.com/ http://startupdigest.com/ The boys at Startup Digest _really_ like Hackers & Founders events, and often promote them. They grok us. Their email list of startup events reaches 300,000 startup minded people globally each week in over 90 cities.

I know there's a lot of Irish folk here, and I'm sure meetups have happened in Dublin before, but would anyone be interested in getting something going (again)? Belfast is always an idea as well.

  Yep I'd be on for that. Dublin would be preferable. get in touch via mccanney [at] gmail dot com
