Anyone interested in a Dutch meetup? I'd be happy to help host and I live on a boat (so I can move the meetup to wherever the people are.)

What are the meetups usually like, content-wise? Another user commented that they seem more like mixers -- is there any scheduled content at all?
We have announcements in the middle for around 15 minutes where anyone can stand up and say something to everyone. Aside from that, it’s a pretty free flowing, friendly mixer event.
I went to this event a year or two ago, I happened to be passing through japan. It's a very friendly event, real mix of different tech / startup presentations. Would highly recommend it if you're in the area :)

Hi there! Thanks for doing this. Yes, confirmed - however we announce the meetups on these pages: Meetup.com https://www.meetup.com/Hacker-News-Tokyo-Japan/ Doorkeeper https://hntokyo.doorkeeper.jp/
Curious, because HN discussions are mainly in English: are conversations mostly in English or Japanese? How's the ratio of locals to foreigners?
Almost all participants are English speakers. Typically 70 or so of the participants are non-Japanese.

I fully admit I was shocked when I realized this didn't exist

#36Is there any interest in a Fukuoka, Japan meetup? I know the startup scene has been taking off here.

#37We usually penalize event announcements as not intellectually interesting but since this thread is turning into something more general, I took off the penalty.
How about scheduling a HN Meetup submission periodically like "Who's hiring", where everyone could announce there local meetups?

That would be really cool, I'm sure a lot of people (including myself) have never heard of an HN meetup or knew they existed. This thread is building community, and seems really cool. If there was one resource where all the meetups were consolidated, what better place to do that than HN itself. Something like the github list posted by anton_tarasenko[1] but in the menu bar would even suffice fairly well IMO.

That would be cool.
Also, an automatic chronological list of forthcoming meetups would be nice too.

I'm allergic to new periodic posts but that is a good idea. Will think about it.
Helping people to make more real-world connections is a thing I'd like HN to do more of.
