Meetup in the Netherlands - Saturday July 30th, in Breda!

I planned to come over, but my son is sick so I'll had to take care of him ;(

First of all I'd like to thank @Yveaux and @sincze for doing a great job for organizing this meeting. And I'd like to thank all the participants for sharing all the things. It was great to meet all of you and you inspired me to keep on promoting this wonderful community.

I also like to thank @stefaanv for sharing the details about how made the mechanics for controlling the chicken shed door. @GertSanders for explaining and demonstrating how he made the SMS gateway/node. And lost but not least @Koresh and Yuri (I forgot your forum name) for the great demonstration of their hardware. And also for the masterclass how to design stable MySensor nodes.

Count me in for the next meeting. It was great to have this international meeting.

[TheoL]

@GertSanders I'm considering to buy some flash memory, once if've figured out how to add them to my projects. Are you still planning on doing a big order?

[ericvdb]

Did anyone took some pics?

[TheoL]

@ericvdb if I'm not mistaken @sincze took some pictures for the sponsors of the meetup.

Any forum post about this SMS node @GertSanders ? :D

[sincze]

@TheoL, @ericvdb I updated the presentation (at the top) with the pictures I received indeed.

[stefaanv]

Thanks also from my side. Learned a lot of new things during the meeting. It will take some time to try everything out.
My son caught a lot of Pokémon in Breda (untill the phone battery went flat) and my wife did a lot of shopping, so everybody was happy !

@Nca78
Not really a post, but the sketch to use it as a sms node is on OpenHardware.io.
After renovating our kitchen this weeks I will do a full writeup.

Hi guys. Yesterday I finally got back home, it was not an easy trip. But it was worth it for me. It was really nice to meet all of you. All presentations were very interesting for me. Thanks to all the speakers for your great work. The presented materials were very various and interesting. I was happy to see interest in our presentation too. It really inspires for further work.
We would like to thank a lot the sponsors and organizators for this excellent meeting.

Also from my side many thanks to the organizers, the presenters, and the other participants. I enjoyed the exchange very much and had a great day.

From looking through the presentation you guys have created for this event, i can't help but get annoyed at the fact i wasn't there.

What a turn out it looked to have been, i really wished i could have made the event! Proud to be a member for this community is an understatement, fantastic work guys!

[TheoL]

@Samuel235 Since we all talked English the whole day. It might be an idea that we promote the next meeting as an International meetup. So that every one can decide whether the one attend or not. We all speak English on this form, so that shouldn't be a big problem. The more the merrier.

[Samuel235]

@TheoL - That may be a great idea, however for me, it wasn't the language that was my barrier, i physically couldn't get there unfortunately :(

[Yveaux]

As a wrap up of the meetup all presentations can now be found through the original invitation document: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kl2ePoXYCcdfw46TpBS1M4aOUbGConh97QC_Vu3Tys8/edit?usp=sharing
And @sincze added some nice pictures to the end of the presentation!

[John]

I should have paid better attention because i would have definitely joined!

But to possible make it up a little bit, I will be present at the Eindhoven mini maker fair this weekend (10th and 11th) in case some want to shake hands.

Cheers,
John.

Thanks for the tip! I went there last year and it was a lot of fun!

[TheoL]

@John I received an e-mail from Kiwi-electroncis in which they announced to Maker Fair. Would loved to have come. But unfortunately I received the invitation a bit too late. Next year I'll be certainly attending the Maker Fair.

@TheoL
I will miss the mini maker faire as well (chillin in Ibiza at the moment, familytime)
