What a great idea! Anyone that want to join up in Oslo / Norway? I can use the work office, have more then enough coffee, tea etc. with space to around 150 people. https://forms.gle/2pDEkQTYihQ4txK29 (Copy pasted the form. Why change a winning team)

Unfortunately it's a little far to go for coffee from Tromsø.

I am not from the area but the deliberations about which messaging platform is kosher are an enormous time waste for every bottom-up organization, especially FOSS projects or hacker spaces.

Interesting you think it's less important for "FOSS projects". I would think the chat should be free software especially in those circles. IRC, XMPP, Matrix, email. Lots of options that have been around for decades now.

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.

I'd be interested too.

Hi. Long-term HN user based in Helsinki. I'd join but don't really want to share my phone number with a large group of people. Can you not find another way to co-ordinate?

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

Please! Would love HN meetup in Berlin.

Interested in Berlin also. Happy to help co-organize also. Email in profile.

Doesn't WhatsApp have usernames these days?
