Count me in

derwildemomo6• 14 years ago

we are doing this together, remember?

rb2k_4• 14 years ago

Oh shoot... well... I guess you can still count me in

neodym• 14 years ago

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.)

adrianN• 14 years ago

And it's closer to the Max-Planck Institutes for Informatics and Software Systems.

derwildemomo6• 14 years ago

Few 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• 14 years ago

I'd rather have Munich. But Stuttgart would do too.

tylerarnold• 14 years ago

Agreed -- 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• 14 years ago

Another vote for Munich. Start a thread?

hessenwolf3• 14 years ago

Link to the startup newsletter, bitte?

greenacid• 14 years ago

+1 for munich!

HSO• 14 years ago

+1 for Munich, preferably before April

arthurschreiber• 14 years ago

I'd be interested, too.

biafra2• 14 years ago

I would be interested doing this in Berlin. Maybe at the c-base?

zalew• 14 years ago

If you do this, pls announce early so people can reserve some cheap tickets, etc.

TRUPPP• 14 years ago

I would instantly join Berlin =)

Uchikoma2• 14 years ago

I can't stand the smoke there. Somewhere else?

biafra2• 14 years ago

I 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• 14 years ago

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?

derwildemomo6• 14 years ago

interesting question. is there a tool to poll for locations?

thomasbachem• 14 years ago

There's a regular HN meetup in Cologne for some months now: http://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Cologne/. Next one will be in about 4 weeks.

fu86• 14 years ago

Stuttgart is great! Maybe in the Shackspace (http://shackspace.de/)?

gopher• 14 years ago

derwildemomo6• 14 years ago

shackspace is a bit too remote for my taste – something more central would be fine. I'm already working on that.

dexcs• 14 years ago

Awesome! Do this!

RainerBlessing• 14 years ago

I accidentally clicked on all three choices :(

at6• 14 years ago

Sounds great. Considering to join you guys.

freakezoid• 14 years ago

why the heck stuttgart?

rb2k_4• 14 years ago

pretty 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• 14 years ago

Great! I will be there...

vwoelm• 14 years ago

I'm in.

gulceg• 14 years ago

count me in too..

Uchikoma2• 14 years ago

I'd rather have Berlin.

ccozan• 14 years ago

Considering, but in Munich the meeting would attract a lot more people, is full of hackers.

derwildemomo6• 14 years ago

given 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• 14 years ago

Totally wish I still lived in Stuttgart.

hessenwolf3• 14 years ago

erm... have you been there?

guruz• 14 years ago

Same here, I moved to Berlin :)

atix• 14 years ago

Totally agree!

bad_alloc• 14 years ago

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.

rb2k_4• 14 years ago

It's for hackers.

I personally don't care so much for founding a company. I'm interested in freelancing and cool technology.

zebarto• 14 years ago

if 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...

derwildemomo6• 14 years ago

This is for anyone who wishes the meetup was in (berlin|cologne|karlsruhe|munich): JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN. What are you waiting for?
