Poll: Hackernews Meetup: Stuttgart, Germany
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.
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.
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.
Edit: I put up a small page on my blog for the meetup http://tinyurl.com/hnstuttgart

- rb2k_ 15y agoCount me in
- derwildemomo 15y agowe are doing this together, remember?
- rb2k_ 15y agoOh shoot... well... I guess you can still count me in
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- neodym 15y agoWhy 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.)
- adrianN 15y agoAnd it's closer to the Max-Planck Institutes for Informatics and Software Systems.
- derwildemomo 15y agoFew reasons, one of them: I know my way around here in terms of good locations for such an event, I think Stuttgart is very well reachable by train and there a quite some nerds around here, too. I don't see why not have another one in Karlsruhe later this year? Would be great to have another opportunity for leaving the office anyway :-)
- brutos 15y agoI'd rather have Munich. But Stuttgart would do too.
- tylerarnold 15y agoAgreed -- Munich would be better for me as well. There's also a StartupDigest Newsletter there. My guess is that would be an easy way to promote the event?
- rvkennedy 15y agoAnother vote for Munich. Start a thread?
- schuon 15y agoAnother one for Munich. I could provide a location too.
- cruppstahl 15y ago+1 for Munich!
- growt 15y agoditto
- syncopate 15y agoI also would like to have a meetup in Munich
- hessenwolf 15y agoSounds good, but it is expensive here!
- s1rech 15y ago
- arthurschreiber 15y agoI'd be interested, too.
- biafra 15y agoI would be interested doing this in Berlin. Maybe at the c-base?
- zalew 15y agoIf you do this, pls announce early so people can reserve some cheap tickets, etc.
- TRUPPP 15y agoI would instantly join Berlin =)
- Uchikoma 15y agoI can't stand the smoke there. Somewhere else?
- biafra 15y agoI am sure we can have a non-smoking event there. IIRC Between 19:00 and 22:00 no smoking is allowed in the main hall.
- _k 15y agoI 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?
- derwildemomo 15y agointeresting question. is there a tool to poll for locations?
- thomasbachem 15y agoThere's a regular HN meetup in Cologne for some months now: http://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Cologne/ http://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Cologne/. Next one will be in about 4 weeks.
- fu86 15y agoStuttgart is great! Maybe in the Shackspace (http://shackspace.de/ http://shackspace.de/)?
- gopher 15y agook
- derwildemomo 15y agoshackspace is a bit too remote for my taste – something more central would be fine. I'm already working on that.
- dexcs 15y agoAwesome! Do this!
- RainerBlessing 15y agoI accidentally clicked on all three choices :(
- at6 15y agoSounds great. Considering to join you guys.
- freakezoid 15y agowhy the heck stuttgart?
- rb2k_ 15y agopretty simple: Because that's where @derwildemomo and I both live. I'm sure there are a lot of cities that would be a better fit for the general HN audience, but Stuttgart is boring enough as it is in terms of IT, so we thought we might as well do something about it.
- henzk 15y agoGreat! I will be there...
- vwoelm 15y agoI'm in.
- gulceg 15y agocount me in too..
- Uchikoma 15y agoI'd rather have Berlin.
- ccozan 15y agoConsidering, but in Munich the meeting would attract a lot more people, is full of hackers.
- derwildemomo 15y agogiven the nature of a meetup, which is to meet people from where you live to talk about interesting stuff, asking for a munich meetup in the stuttgart meetup poll is missing the point.
- Redwards 15y agoTotally wish I still lived in Stuttgart.
- hessenwolf 15y agoerm... have you been there?
- guruz 15y agoSame here, I moved to Berlin :)
- atix 15y agoTotally agree!
- bad_alloc 15y agoIs 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.
- rb2k_ 15y agoIt's for hackers. I personally don't care so much for founding a company. I'm interested in freelancing and cool technology.
- zebarto 15y agoif you're looking for an intern in stuttgart, direct message me at twitter (@zebarto). we're always looking for technology focused people, willing to hack with latest technology and bleeding edge services...
- derwildemomo 15y agoThis is for anyone who wishes the meetup was in (berlin|cologne|karlsruhe|munich): JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN. What are you waiting for?
