Time to meet up! Everybody is invited again for good times with like-minded hackers in Cologne!
When: Thursday, October 27. 2011, 1900 hrs / 7 p.m. CET
Where: Hallmackenreuther, upstairs in the lounge.
Speakers: Manuel Koelman and Thomas Bachem
Program:

*Everybody is welcome to hold a lightning talk on a subject or pitch your startup idea, max 5 min sessions + 3 min Q&A for each. (Vidar has announced he'll hold one on the topic of "Lean UX" already.)

* Identifying and discussing of all upcoming events in our region (we didn't get around to this the last time - let's see if we can pull it off this time)

*There will be a couple of longer talks with Q&A by invited speakers, preferably at least one tech hacker one biz hacker talk. (Keep the suggestions for speakers to invite flowing! Thanks!)

* Shout out of buzzword/interests to deep-dive into in groups, mini-barcamp or birds-of-a-feather style. E.g. say you are interested in node.js or social/location/mobile or Clojure or Facebook Graph API or how to find a co-founder: Just shout it out and see if you can find someone at the meetup with the same problems, the same interests or someone who can provide you with more information or knows someone that knows.

* Discussion of the top current 10 Hacker News right now (we didn't get around to this the last time, do we still want to do it?)

Drop by for chats, beers, hacking and good times all around!
