If Utrecht is an acceptable place we could do it at iGluu (my shared office) 15 euros each for drinks & location for a couple of hours. Looks like this: http://www.igluu.nl/img/slideshowOneSpace/050.jpg 10 min. walk from Utrecht C.S. (train station) Car: parking available nearby but Utrecht will be Utrecht. I've got two possible dates: 29th of December, 7th of January. (unfortunately I can't make it myself on the 7th…

It already looks like this is going to be too small.

No

Let me explain myself. More input, more ideas and in my humble experience reduces the likelihood of getting things done quickly. We can discuss on cities for months, everybody wants to have it close to their home, but it simply can't be close for all. Hence I choose Utrecht: central and in general easy to reach by public transport/car. So no poll please.

And we do want everybody to be able to attend this meet-up.
