90% probability I will be coming, from Aachen.

Awesome! We'd love to see people from Aachen here - Thanks for making the journey!

I'm in! Traveling from Ruhrgebiet.

Ruhrgebiet representing! Nice! Thanks for making the trip. Looking forward to see you there.

Does anyone want another HN Meetup in Berlin this fall?

HN Meetup in Berlin would be great.

I'm considering coming to the Meetup in Cologne, but if we can schedule one in Berlin, that could be 2 great meetups in a matter of months!

Let me know if there's anything we can do to help you smooth the trip to Cologne! We'd love to see you here! :)

I just arrived in Berlin and will be here until early December, so count me in.

Have hacker luve - will travel!

Awesome! Thomas Bachem (http://www.facebook.com/thomas.bachem) has announced he's attending and would have time to hold a talk. Which topics would you like Thomas to talk about?

Just made an HN post for a Berlin meetup next month:

Please vote on this thread if you like to have such an event.

Cool! I've been waiting for a good excuse to go to Berlin this fall! ;)

I have a cold but I could do a 5 minute reprap talk if I'm feeling better by then. Would that be a good idea?

Sounds good! 5 Min lightning talks are cool! Do it! Gute Besserung. :)

Okay. I'll let you know (and bring printed stuff). How do I reach you?

Nice, I'm in! If it just wasn't such a pain to travel from Remscheid to cologne with "Deutsche Bahn".

Awesome! My sympathies regarding Deutsche Bahn!

This looks interesting, I didn't know there were enough HN users in Cologne.

We hope there's enough in CGN to keep this going as a regular event with cool speakers each time! Show up and show support! :)

I will :)

I'd love to stop by but Bad Mergentheim is a little too far away for me :(

Well, maybe there are enough HN readers up for a meetup in Heilbronn or Stuttgart?

I'm in! Would be great if some new faces stop by :)

Yes! Looking forward to see you there! :)

Sadly too long of a drive from Stuttgart :(

Maybe you can start a HN meetup in or around Stuttgart? How's the interest down there?

Just from what I gathered over the years: not that many HN people arround :(

(or are there?)

Great! just around the corner :) I´m in!

wish I could be there. but not in cologne at that time. enjoy and see you next time!

Oki! See you next time, Bumi! :)

Are there any meetups further down south e.g. in Hessen by any chance?
