Steem Meet-Up in Rotterdam, The Netherlands: 13th of Januari!

in #dutch6 years ago (edited)

Because the first Meet-Up in Rotterdam was a huge succes, I created a Telegram Group to keep in touch and quickly select new dates in the future! The people from 'Meet-Up #1' picked Januari 13 as their next date. You will be able to find us in 'Kaapse Maria' starting 15:00. They are a craft beer place, and some of the first participants thought you can drink these like 'mainstream' beers and well - they went home very very happy (of course the company helped) and got a nice bonus headache the next morning! :D

Be warned!

Do you want to join?


For now I will announce the Rotterdam Meet-Up dates in posts on my profile, and will let those who attended at least one meeting pick the date in the Telegram Group. My reasoning is: once you showed up for a meeting you get a bigger say in the next meet-ups! You can always contact me through Discord for additional details: soyrosa#1544.


[Picture taken by @brittandjosie! Looks like Cola, tastes like strong beer ;-)]

Who will join?


After a good example by @pennsif I will try to collect a list of Dutch-speaking Steemians in the course of the next weeks and months. Hopefully some of these will try to join the Meet-Ups. I found some names through @fullcoverbetting in his post after we had an exchange about Dutch and Belgium people on Steem.

Those who attended Meet-Up #1:


@brittandjosie, @exyle, @s3rg3, @bennierex, @verhp11, @bengy, @greendeliverence, @pundito, @missmau, @amritadeva
Most of these lovely people confirmed they are joining for Meet-Up #2 :-)

Dutchies! Living in The Netherlands

Dutchies or 'speaking Dutch' all over the globe


@anouk.nox, @karinxxl, @felander, @cryptotem, @sv1rby, @misslasvegas, @bubke

Dutchies that I haven't categorized yet :D


Please let me know in which category you are!
@digitalworldyou, @edje, @barv, @zyx066

Those who showed interest outside of the Dutch community

@detlev (would be a special guest from Germany!)

Do you know of more Dutch (speaking) Steemians?


Let me know in the comments! It would be fun to see how big we can get this to grow. The first responses after Meet-Up #1 can be summarized as: This was fun! It felt like we'd known each other for ages! Let's do it again! It's pretty spectacular to meet fellow Steemians and to have a few 'sort of local' meet-up opportunities is very worthwhile. Hope to see a few of you join :-)

Sort:  

Greetings, dear Soyrosa

Great idea you had. Look, this is the first time I see you more clearly in a photo. You really are a very pretty girl. I can not participate in this, because I do not speak Dutch and I'm not fancy as you hehehe, but, I wish everything would work out in your new project.

Thank you and good morning!

Haha - thanks @julisavio!

@d0zer is from Belgium
@byebyehamburgers also, it is the health account of @costanza. So both can be listed as Belgium.
@kemo16 is also Belgium
@romaincrx is also Belgium but has as native language French
@zoef can also be added to the Belgians list.
@oaldamster is living in the Netherlands, if I am not mistaken close to Amsterdam somewhere!

Great to continue the list! Let's connect and support each other!
Cheers,
Peter

Awesome @fullcoverbetting! Yes, I have some plans in the back of my mind to get some support going on as well - I will let you know how it will work once I have built it up! Cheers!

Do you know if @romaincrx speaks Dutch/Flemish as well?

Guess only English and French. But not sure about that.

Ok! :D Just trying to keep the list focused on Dutch/Flemish speaking people for now, or expats living in the NLs :-) Thanks for your input so far!

That's right! I'm learning Dutch but it's not good at all at this point :p

I am from Flemish Belgium, residence India, my only Dutch connection is my wife, the "Pass the Dutchie" thing and the Old Amsterdam cheese.

Uncategorised was not a bad choice after all, much love

Yes - you are on the list because you are able to speak with us Dutchies! :D You're in the 'Dutch (speaking) all over the globe' categorie - hehehe. It's a shame you're so far away though, would have loved if you could join our meetings @bubke! :D

Lol, love the explanation :-)

count me in !!! (of course)

You're on the very special guest list :P

:) :)

@verhp11 WoW wat zal dat betekenen extra broodje buikspek of een kaapse kerstboom 🤨

ik teken voor beide :P

Nice! Only @dikkie doesn't say where in the world he/she is, do you know @guchtere? I'm 'live editing' the list so it will be uptodate as much as possible :D

Netherlands

I guessed right - added to the list! :D

Respect for creating the list. Just checked everyone his/her profile and started to follow them so I can read a bit from everyone till the meetup 😅

Ik ga er alleen niet bij zijn vrees ik. Het is dan expositie @guchtere

I should be there, barring any unexpected events! Hopefully, I can convince my wife to come, my mother is visiting at that time, so we can dump the kids!

Wow! That's a nice bonus! I'd love to see you and your wife join us :D Does she have a Steem account already @bengy? ;-)

No she doesn't yet... although she does keep talking about getting one! The one that I had gotten for her ages and ages ago, I now use an my own alt account...

Yeahhhhh If Im around I will drop by for sure..Im liking this meeting kind of stuff!

YES! I know you will. I'm keeping you uptodate personally! :-)

Leuk!

Hey, that's Dutch! Where in the world do you live @tonyz? And would you consider joining a meet-up?

Living in Amsterdam.
Considering coming to Rotterdam for sure!

Awesome!!! I'll add you to the list @tonyz! Hope to see you - you're doing some great photography by the way!

Thanks!

Wow! So you are Dutch too, living 'somewhere else' @smasssh?!

Thanks for that list - will take some time to go through all of that to see which of these Dutchies are still active! For me 'active' means last post within a month :D Thanks for sharing the link though, I see so many names I have never seen before!

For now my "basecamp" is here in Holland. But I can be found in France and Sweden as well.

Could indeed be that a lot of those dutchies are "sleeping". But you could try. I know some of them are visiting the site every now and then and some do also some commenting, but not posting.
Good luck!

Okay, will add you to the list of 'Dutchies in the Netherlands' to keep it simple :-)

ohhhhh are we finally going to meet in person @smasssh wow hahaah zou ik leuk vinden kunnen we het over fotos hebben hahah

If the world is still spinning and I'm still alive I will be there of course :)
Perhaps we need the complete upper floor next time? :)

Hehehe - yes, counting on you @pundito! Let me know where you parked your car last time, I will try to find you something better for this time :D If more people start coming by car we might think of other locations to meet maybe as well :-)

Hey, with the beer they are serving there I will do everything to let my car at home @soyrosa!!!
If necessary I'll come on a bike - but for sure not with my car again!
P.S.: will you help me walking down the stairs? The rest I'll manage myself 🤣.

:') Good thinking @pundito! I'll help you down the stairs, as long as you join :D

i could help out the both of you @pundito and @Soyrosa

Maybe @raypelsteeltje would also be interested. He lives in our village

Awesome! Adding him to the list :D

hoeveel mannen heb ik dan wel niet in de auto ???? @s3rg3

Ah dat kun jij wel aan. Een hoop gezellige gozers na wat verbrande kerstbomen

Hi @soyrosa, I'm living in The Netherlands, so you can categorize me like that ;)
Also it would be nice to be at a future meeting, especially if it is more or less in the middle of the country (Utrecht?).
Groetjes!

Awesome! I'll categorize you as a Dutchie living in the Netherlands :D For now 90% of those who attended live close or in Rotterdam, so Rotterdam makes most sense. @verhp11 traveled to Rotterdam all the way from Zutphen and didn't regret it! But who knows where we end up in the future :-)

In that case it makes sense to pick Rotterdam indeed. In the end I always have to travel far, so the last bit to there won't be too much of a problem

@erikklok,
I would really like to meet you there.
You could tell me how the city I lived for 17 years developed the last 5-6 years :)
And not only that of course ...

It would indeed be nice to meet @pundito and talk a bit about Hengelo. Unfortunately I am on holiday in January (which in itself is not unfortunate at all...), so I can't join then. Next time I'll try to be there!

Good to hear and enjoy your holiday!

Or somewhere in Westland would also be nice. Or close to Amsterdam.

I guess you know now in which group I belong 😀

:D I know now! I'll add you to the right list.

I'm not sure if everyone likes me to join a meet up 😬😉

It starts with you! :D If you have a positive feeling towards meeting fellow Steemians everyone will welcome you with open arms!

I think all Dutch and Belgium people are fine and some are really nice/great.
The thing is that I'm really curious and ask every question I have. And not everyone likes being asked these kind of questions.

Good idea @crypto-econom1st :)
What about The Coast?
600 meters away from home and I have space for 1-2 people sleeping here :)

I've been there quite a few times :D

At the coast sounds good @pundito. Can you get there by train?

Theoretically, yes ... but you don't want to do that!

Omg. In that case I'm kindly going to ask if someone could pick me up somewhere else or I'm going to lend a car...

You mean that you live 600m from that bed and breakfast? And that 1-2 people can sleep there for free?

I somehow have the feeling that I don't understand your idea.

A small misunderstanding. The Coast is a restaurant only but I'm living close to it and have a room where 1-2 people could sleep :)

But The Coast is no option at all as you can't reach it easily with the train. It takes hours to come there.

Hey cool, I’m not dutch but living in Aken and doing meetups there I might join to have a beer with you.

Wh00p! Thanks @brittandjosie! Going to add these to the list :-)

super leuk! i like to come with my sister @samiirasam .

Hey @rathanna and @samiirasam, hartstikke leuk dat jullie erbij gaan zijn! Tot de 13e :D

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

Sad i only speak english and my native language which is "yoruba"

It is very rewarding to organize meetings @opeyemioguns! You can do them very 'low key', just a simple location and a time, and see who shows up :-) From there it can only grow!

Yes she is. Well... She used to have an account, but the password got lost. So we created a new one, but she hasn’t re-started yet :-) her account is @nieke-s and she might kick in any day now (like I posted, we have some other things going on at the moment).

@soyrosa gaat prima zo zoals iemand al eerder zei in de comments, misschien hebben we de hele boven verdieping nodig hahahah

Ja, gaat lekker he?! :')

Add me into the list of your next meetup attendees. See you in Rotterdam!

AWESOME! Glad you'll join us @arcange, see you in about 6 weeks!

Hello, our next country to live and work will be Holland, so maybe we'll see you in Rotterdam :)

You guys are serious!? Would be awesome to meet!
Where are you staying?

We'll stay in Leiden at least till May. Funny thing is that, we'll arrive to Leiden a week before the meeting, so we'll need to figure it out how to do it :)

Sorry I missed this, I'm just now checking the comments since I'm writing an update on the meet-up :D Would be awesome if you would want to join!

Good news, I'll be there together with @dboontje 😎

Don't forget to update the list here with @smalltall.
Think that's about it... 🤔
