Hi guys & girls,

I'm planning to do a Network for MeeGo in Düsseldorf.
Our Stammtisch should be once a month, I have a few contacts, which I try to get in, looking for any other MeeGo People in the region to join us.

So, who is out there to join us?

First Goal of course is to get the Starting 5, but that shouldn't be the Problem...

regards,

Jens Weller

So, für die die kein Englisch können.
Ich will ein MeeGo Network für Düsseldorf gründen.
Einige meiner eigenen Kontakte könnten evtl. schon dazu kommen, plus das ich Nokia schon angeschrieben habe.
Ich suche weitere Interessenten, damit man die 5 schnell voll bekommt.

Termin: Ich schlag einfach mal den 3. Dienstag oder Donnerstag im Monat vor.
Also nach den QtDevDays im Oktober evtl. schon das erste mal.

So, und nun noch Gründe für Düsseldorf:
Es sitzen 2 Carrier (Vodafone + E-Plus) und weitere Telekommunikations Firmen in der Stadt.
Ausserdem ist Düsseldorf zentral, das Ruhrgebiet und auch der Niederrhein liegen vor der Tür, und von Köln aus ist man auch schnell da.

Best regards,

Moin Peter,

cool, freu mich das wir nun schon mal mindestens 2 sind
Hab gerade über Xing auch weitere Interessenten angesprochen, die 5 sollte also bald voll sein. Sieht gut aus.
Habe auch eine Reaktion von Nokia. Nokia scheint interessiert, und ich werde wohl mit meinen Nokia Kontakten auf den Qt DevDays darüber reden. Für sie ist natürlich momentan Symbian mindestens genauso wichtig...

English:
Hi Peter,

thats great!
So we are now at least already two, and I just wrote to some more Folks, so we should have the 5 aMeeGos pretty soon.

Little Update:
I have a response from Nokia, they seem to be interested, and they mentioned that we should have a talk about all this at the Qt DevDays in Munich.

So, here is a small (but important) update on my/our plans for Düsseldorf.

Until yesterday, I didn't know how commited Nokia really is for this Idea.
So I finally met some of the nokia guys yesterday at the mobile unconference in Düsseldorf, and now its clear: Nokia will fully support our local MeeGo Network here in Düsseldorf.
Next week I have a further meeting for planning the details, but it looks really good. Just we will start this whole thing by next year, as for November its too short, and in December everyone is already busy.

I just started a thread about Koeln/Bonn and got directed to this.
Was in Duesseldorf yesterday but it's a long way a way for a stammtisch for me, coming from Bonn.

How about centering it in Koeln where Duesseldorf, Koeln and Bonn people can reach it in under an hour?

I'd be interested in coming along to a Koeln event but Duesseldorf is too far away for me.

I'm sorry, but we already have further plans, so for the first meeting Düsseldorf is the location.
We already plan the first event for january, just can't give you the details right now.

BTW, don't forget to link this in the Wiki.

Just did that.
I guess by next week the first event is ready to be announced.

Great to see local involvement including Nokia's! fwiw I'm in Köln for family reasons until the end of the month - happy to meet anybody in public / Nokia to talk über MeeGo.
