Poll: Hackernews Meetup: Stuttgart, Germany

#1
Hi! Since we figured that at some people here ought to be from somewhere, germany, we thought a bit about starting a hn-meetup in stuttgart ( which should be well reachable for most people in that area ). We would like the meetup to take place around the end of march.

The intent of this post is to find out if there is any interest in such a meeting, and if, how many of you consider joining us. So please, vote with yes if you want to take part.

As far as the meetup is concernced, we'd suggest some lightning talks ( e.g. about the highest voted submission of the speaker ) to get to know each other, but it's just a suggestion. Depending on the count of participants, I'd organise a suitable venue. For free, of course.

Edit: I put up a small page on my blog for the meetup http://tinyurl.com/hnstuttgart

Why not Karlsruhe? It has the KIT, one of the highest rated universities in the field of Computer Science, so lot's of people (hackers) there that might be interested. (And Karlsruhe is about 64km away from Stuttgart.)

And it's closer to the Max-Planck Institutes for Informatics and Software Systems.

Few reasons, one of them: I know my way around here in terms of good locations for such an event, I think Stuttgart is very well reachable by train and there a quite some nerds around here, too. I don't see why not have another one in Karlsruhe later this year? Would be great to have another opportunity for leaving the office anyway :-)
