Do we have enough people in Tallinn, Estonia to organize one here as well? :)

There seems to be 2 locations created for Tallinn on meet.hn:

https://meet.hn/city/59.4372155,24.7453688/Tallinn (7 people)

https://meet.hn/city/59.4372420,24.7572693/Tallinn (1 person)

Ironically, a karma threshold will rule out most Finns

I guess I have enough karma but what does non-green account name mean ?

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

Excellent initiative, Cal! Thanks for organising

Most welcome

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.

Please do.

I think I caused this (that 1 person is me) and I think its a bug, because;

When I tried to register, I searched for 'Tallinn, Estonia' and there is only one location shows up from autocomplete.

However, the coordinates of that only Tallinn location is not the samame as previous 7 people.

So my guess is that at some point, ,the map/coordinate vendor's coordinates for Tallinn, Estonia have changed recently. And anyone trying to r egistetr for Tallinn will be registered with the new coordinates.

I'd rather not go there. Too crowded, too busy, too much violence. I wouldn't mind a city, though. Is Zwolle an option? Edit: just saw your profile, sorry never mind ^^'

I just moved to Kampen, so if you can get a Zwolle thing going, I'm game

Let's keep in touch, I'm quite busy atm but am looking forward to meeting hn fellas.
