Meetup in the Netherlands - Saturday July 30th, in Breda!
-
Because the temperature is rising, I've prepared the BBQ for this weekend. It also made me think about this topic again ;-) I'd really would like to meet you all. So if every one is still interested, give a holla on this forum. I'm volunteering to organize this, I just need someone extra. Because my time is a bit spare lately.
Since the response to this topic is a bit low. I'll explain the purpose of this meetup (at least how I see it). We're all fund about electronics and IoT otherwise we wouldn't be on this forum. The meeting is for everyone, regarding level of knowledge, who wants to spend some time with other enthusiastic. It's not a meetup in which we can see who's the best or knows the most. It's about spending time and having fun with people whom share the same interest.
If we can make a good estimate of how many people want to come, we can start looking for the best place to hold this meeting. Maybe we can look for some sponsors as well. It would be awesome if we could get some sponsors. Because I truly think that MySensors deserves more exposure to a broader public.
So. Let me know if you want to come (why wouldn't you) and if you want to help out with the organization. Also if you have big garden and life in southern area of the Netherlands. And if you don't mind that we come to you place, let me know.
My boss pays for my gas, so I can take three people with me when I drive to the meetup. I live near Apeldoorn.
@TheoL
I will come anywhere below Rotterdam. If it's near Amsterdam i will need to plan for a weekend and take my better half with me. And get one of our kids to babysit the dog and/or the yougest. All can be organised.
Given the earlier reactions somewhere in Nederlands Barbant would make sense. I'm probably the southy of the bunch :-) -
Will join from Amsterdam till Eindhoven because I live in the center below Rotterdam!

@TheoL Judging from the reactions in this post so far, the list of potential visiters seems rather limited...
Maybe its better to start things small first. When it's a success we can discuss how to go from there.
I live a bit above Eindhoven, so that seems like the ideal location. However, my garden is rather small. -
I've created a planner in Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/pttgx7rnc7h55myq
Please pick the dates when you're available, so we can converge to a date!@GertSanders @AWI @TimO @TheoL Could you help picking a date, guys?
@damme Why did you fill in the planner, as it seems you can't join at all?

@Yveaux Super. I filled it in as soon as possible.
I already figured out, that the southern of Rotterdam would be the best place. So somewhere between Breda and Eindhoven seems to be the center.
I don't want to plan out the complete meeting, but my suggestion is to come up with a list of things we can do. That will make it easier to pick a place where we can meet. I can't wait to finally meet you all.
-
I would also be interested. But I didn't fill out the doodle because my schedule for the next month is not fully set yet. So it doesn't make sense to accommodate my preferences for the date as they might change.
I would just wait for you to set a date and then join if I am available, if you don't mind. South of Rotterdam would be perfectly fine for me. I would only suggest to meet somewhere close to a train station as some people (me included) might not have a car.
Regarding things to do, a workshop-like meeting in which people present their projects might be nice. I saw something similar in the OpenHAB forum.

@27maximilian Near a train station is great suggestion. If needed I can pick some people up.
We have to think about how we can arrange the workshop. If people come by train, it might be hard for them to bring along their projects.

too bad I'm living a bit too far...7-8h by car..but that's mostly because my planning is too much tricky for this year..I would have come and been the french guy speaking frenglish :laughing:
But I hope to see you guys in future, next time ;)
have fun :) -

I had a quick look for a meeting place near the city center of Eindhoven, and all I could find were the commercial conference places.
These places will easily charge E 40,- per person, which is above budget IMHO.
So, if either of you knows an inspiring place which can easily be reached by public transport, then please let us know!
Another option is to move away from city centers to a more rural location, but then we'll have to carpool.http://yveaux.blogspot.nl

De maand mei komt stilaan aan een einde. Juni komt er aan. Is er al zicht op een locatie in de buurt van Rotterdam (lijkt de consensus te zijn) ?

@BigDog location seems to be the problem so far. Finding a meeting shack is either very expensive, or away from a city center. If somebody in the south knows of a good meeting place (or has a big garden :relaxed: ) then please let us know.

@BigDog I'm not sure about public transport. I'll come by car, don't know about the rest. Maybe some can carpool to eliminate the public transport requirement.
