I see a lot of votes for Utrecht and Amsterdam. These cities are a 25 minutes travel from each other. Like birger said: seats2meet.com is a great concept that we can use for this meetup. I am definitely game. But organizing this on HN is going to be hard. The Yahoo group is an option to make some clear arrangements.

Count me in (Eindhoven). Early January would be perfect for me.

Would love to attend, as long as there would be some talks in English (I don't know Dutch that well). I'm in Haarlem / Amsterdam.

I'd love to attend, Utrecht is the right location (although I'm in Amsterdam).

I'm kinda fluent in Dutch if you can handle brutalised word order and a particularly nasty English accent in Dutch :-)

If an intro to Clojure and/or musical programming (live-coding) sounds interesting to people I'd be happy to present and demo an audio synthesis system I've been working on. (http://github.com/rosejn/overtone) It uses an interesting DSL for reading and writing binary files, does some networking, and lets you define DSP graphs for synthesizing audio.

Interested. Utrecht and amsterdam are both fine by me. Sneek would be to much of a commute :)

Maybe we should call it a Dutch-Flemish meetup and pick Eindhoven for a central location?

I'm interested in both!

An intro to SuperCollider would be nice too =)

I'm willing to help out organizing. I live in utrecht. Have contacts with seats2meet and can also offer a free space. Contact me through my profile.
