First Open Beer Delft
Yesterday the first Open Beer in Delft took place and it was something of a succes. Turnout may have been low with five people attending but new people were met and interesting conversations took place.
I talked to Redmar Kerkhoff who I already knew from a previous Barcamp Amsterdam and who also studies at DUT. Redmar is all over the place and we talked about graphics programming, intelligent devices, Ruby on Rails and Erlang.
I also got to talk with our other attendee Bart, who has a website (Where was it at again?) and who installed the wireless network at De Plataan.
A lot of people either could not make it today or were otherwise detained but that is not a loss to the format as there is enough interesting stuff to talk about with the people who were there. I didn’t even get to talk to Reinier because he had to leave early.
So let’s see what this grows into with some consistent attention. Next edition is next Friday and will probably start some 15 minutes later.
If you guys have any websites of yourself that you want to plug or have anything to add, put it in the comments.

April 28th, 2007For us and for the rest getting there at 18.00 sharp was a bit rushed. As a matter of fact, I don’t think anybody showed up before 18.15 except for myself.

April 28th, 2007No Cris, you’re ahead one hour (while as a Londoner you should be one hour early).

April 30th, 2007It was ‘gezellig’. We certainly had some interseting conversations. My website can be found at http://www.wiebetaaltwat.nl. See you next week.

May 1st, 2007Hey, Bart, as you might know, I’m working on a financial webapp (www.tipit.to) and if successful I’d like to focus on more financial webapps (I think it’s a thoroughly underserved market with lots of potential). I wonder if use of wiebetaaltwat.nl would increase beyond ‘the one guy in charge updating it every month’ level if you could pay your share of the house bill right there on the site itself?
In fact, something similar to that scheme was dreamed up by someone I know at boost company. I did some research about it back then, and in general, banking is not nearly as convenient worldwide is it happends to be in the Netherlands. Just transferring some money from one bank account to another is free here in NL, but it certainly isn’t in many other countries.
Do you have any plans to release an internationalized version?
