If you're coming I'd like to introduce a "Show & Tell" this time around. The whole meetup is pretty low-key and informal, so don't be afraid to present the projects you are working on right now. Just stand up, tell what you're working on, take questions & sit down again. Easy! Let's make this a good one!

I'm upset about it being a Wednesday again, but then again I must have missed the memo/announcement/doodle/whatever. I'll try to be there.

The site can't display umlauts correctly which looks pathetic in 2012.

Haha, nice timing, I just got in from NY.. I actually might!

Bring your stories!

Any such thing happening in Munich?

You've missed it: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3679248

And that was the inspiration to post here today & give this Meetup some frontpage love.

We've agreed to have another one, and try to make it regular. https://plus.google.com/113891941847169025385/posts

Damn! However it was my wife's birthday, so I probably would not have made it.

it would be nice if you could announce it one week in advance next time :)

All blame shall be directed at Vidar ... But yeah, maybe we could optimize the doodle-date-finding-process. Suggestions?

Email everyone who participated before?

Isn't that what meetup.com is for?

Not everyone wants to sign up for that. I had no idea there even was a thing on meetup, and I've participated before.

What about posting to HN like we did today, but with a little more lead time, maybe a week like you suggested?

Yes, that's how the first meetup happened, and from my perspective it was the best (I was never informed of any of the others)

baahhh cologne, prefer an alt on the right side of the rhine... ;)

Then come over, and bring your Alt. (but make sure to hide it en route) We don't discriminate.

meh, only webdev hippsters there ...

I'm doing open source hardware, and I'll be there.
