We've been organising this for a while (a year? more?). It's quite relaxed - just a coffee morning every month or two. I'm sure there are other HN local meetups who could post in this thread - please do if you have a local meetup

Too bad this requires using WhatsUp.

WhatsApp isn't really required. If you submit the form, we will email about about the date and location of the next event.

Please! Would love HN meetup in Berlin.

Make it happen, don't wait for someone else to do the work on your behalf :)

Nice. Does anyone know if a Stockholm group exists?

Not as far as I know. We can surely start one tho. I wouldn't mind just setting a spot and time, and then those who can just show or don't.

I can make a post about it promoting it.

Anyone who’d be interested in a meetup in Cologne?

There was one 14 years ago. I even gave a talk there once. Maybe some of the original organizers or attendees who commented on this post would be interested in rebooting it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4754269

Is the karma checked at the door or is it at the time of submission? Seems like somebody could be at 12 and then post “actually I believe the general consensus on gravity is wrong” in the right thread the night before and roll in with 89 points

Perhaps we could host it jointly in Milan and Rome?
