Title: BitCoin meetup in Zurich, Feb 2011?
Post by: Mike Hearn on January 10, 2011, 10:57:22 AM
Heya,

It seems there are quite a few BitCoiners in Switzerland and Zurich specifically. Inspired by Bruce, why don't we organize a meetup?

If you'd be interested in coming together for drinks, talking shop and meeting new people maybe some time in Feb - let's say provisionally Saturday Feb 5th - reply here and let me know. Don't worry if that date doesn't work for you, I'm flexible so let's move it around to try and ensure everyone who wants to can come.

If there is interest I'll post more specific details nearer the time.

OK, sounds like there'll be a few of us.

How about 4:30pm at the Oliver Twist pub. It's in the city center. I'll send you guys my mobile number and will be wearing a blue top. If I can get a table, I'll mark it by putting a coin down in the middle so you know which one it is ;)

Sorry, I'll not be able to show up. My gig has been moved up and I'll have to show up earlier. I'll attend next time though ^^

[mike]: are you still up for that beer? We could meet sometime next week :D

Going on a ski trip this weekend, so I'll skip this Saturday.

I could probably make it next week, any evening except Thursday. I moved to central Zurich now so it should be easy.

Ah, that's too bad. Could you make it if we moved it an hour earlier?

Otherwise sure, beer next week is fine. I'll still turn up on Saturday.

where is the meeting summary? ;-)

I could not leave the lac leman area yesterday. Otherwise I would have joined.

It wasn't really a formal meeting so there was no specific agenda and nothing to summarize. We discussed all things BitCoin related, such as recent things on the forum, Android clients, setting up a goods exchange and many other topics. Perhaps in future we'll try and organize actual work but for now it was just a fun beerfest.

You can see a photo of the group here: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/x12FDnofBS-eix33Gu3fHE5inttGSnu9VAdHKE4US6I?feat=directlink (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/x12FDnofBS-eix33Gu3fHE5inttGSnu9VAdHKE4US6I?feat=directlink)

Great foto!
And by the way, my question on the meeting summary wasn't really serious. I'd have loved to join your beerfest!

If anyone is close to the Lausanne / Geneva area, let me know.
