First speaker confirmed

[Vidar Andersen]

Oleg Podsechin has volunteered to hold a talk about his experiences
with (and at) startups at the very first HN Meetup Cologne! Yay!

It would be very cool if everybody would shake down their friends,
friends of friends and extended network for more potential speakers.
Feel free to use Oleg as peer pressure. ;)

I think we should tell potential speakers about the format and what we
are trying to achieve and let
the speakers more or less decide what they want to talk about based on
that.

It should be hacker (business or tech or both) related with some sort
of entrepreneurial relevance. Other than that, I think we would be
best off letting the speakers decide the actual topics and let the
attendees judge if they liked it and want more of the same or
something different going forwards.
