Folks,

Great initiative! I would like to join with some of my colleagues from
Paylogic but many of them don't speak Dutch (we speak English at our
office). Is it possible to change the language here and at the
meetings to English?

Cheers,
Berco

Hi Berco,

I'd really like to stick to Dutch at the meetings. I have experienced
that for a vivid interactive and informal discussion it really helps
when one can speak his native language.
Said that, if there is more interest in keeping the meetings in
English then we can reconsider.

Cheers!
Mathijs

+1 for English. I'd love to join but my spoken Dutch is not usable yet.

Thanks,

Alright, let's see who signs up and take it from there.
We will find a way in which everyone can participate.

+1 for English.
I think I may also speak for the whole Distributed Systems group
within RUG. Unfortunately, most of our PhD students do not speak
Dutch, at least not at the level for free discussion.
