Hello Robert,
Nice to read you consider the trip to Groningen!
So the 20th of november is taken shape, it seems that we can have this meeting after all.
A location is already available, more details will be provided.
If more would like to join, there is plenty of room so join us!
Iād love to join as well! I filled the poll.
You were asking for a ping when this materializes. Do you want to be the tour guide?
That was pre-COVID, Iām not available this winter 
Right! I was already kind of puzzled, and now I realize this thread is old.
Yes, you are right. This thread is oldā¦
In light of the current developing Covid situation and the restrictions active as of today I have to cancel this get together.
Once again it seems this initiative is doomed to get off the ground, therefore I will no longer try to arrange it another time. If someone else feels the need to get this started when things turn to ānormalā I would gladly help though.
Lastly I would like to say a big THANK YOU to the people of Spindle who where so kind and willing to freely! offer a location upfront for this get together.
Sorry to have bothered you with thisā¦
Too bad, but probably the right call. Hopefully we can revive this idea in the new year, Iād love to meet local Nix enthusiasts!
We could consider doing an online meetup. E.g., there are regular German meetups as well.
In that way we can hit the ground running when the restrictions are lifted again.
Too bad it had to be cancelled again, I was really looking forward to it. Thanks for all your efforts in organizing this @JosW !
I also think an online meetup would be a nice alternative for now, until we can schedule a new date for a physical meetup.
I understand your frustration @JosW.
The timing was unfortunate. I donāt think we can have an IRL meetup during cold seasons for some time to come, but a meetup during summer may well be possible. Weāll see how that develops.
Sorry to have bothered you with thisā¦
No need to be sorry! I liked the idea and I already accepted the possibility of cancellation before deciding to join. I appreciate that you organized it despite the (potential) circumstances.
I donāt know if necrobumping this thread is the best way of doing this, but I recently met @c0deaddict at a GoLang Meetup in Groningen and they mentioned that there had been attempts in the past to organize a Nix meetup here.
Covid restrictions are no longer an issue and weāre going into warmer months so I was wondering if we could maybe try to revive this? Would anyone still be interested?
Other than @c0deaddict I know of a couple of other people in Groningen that would be interested in joining.
sounds like a great idea!
for those who are joining MCH in Zeewolde later this week ā Nix gathering at MCH2022
Hi, Iāve noticed this thread is kind of dead. Anyone else interested in such an event?
It pops up every now and then, so maybe we should plan an easy walk in night with no official talks/presentations on forehand?
To get an idea about how many like minded people we could get together up North?
Maybe get an base and to built up momentum for something more structured and educational in 2023.
I havenāt been Nix-active recently (mostly because I joined a company in the Python ecosystem and it was just too much effort to do bleeding edge Python development that way), but Iād definitely be interested in joining a Groningen meetup.
Iād be down for that!
Iām also interested!
Make a PR to GitHub - nix-how/nix.ug: A directory of Nix User Groups so that it ends up on https://nix.ug if you do decide to go ahead with this meetup!
Iām willing to create such a PR. Do we need to decide on a date first? What about the location?
As long as you have a website or something to link to for more info, the only location you should decide, is what country itās going to be in. If you have no fixed date, just say āNo strict scheduleā
