There are lots of people here I just associate with their avatar. In many cases I don't know their real name even if I have met them. I have met you a few times though after 4 HF/SF trips. I'm not planning to go to KL though. I have other trips planned this year and am avoiding long flights. I will try to get to some events in Europe some time.
I've been to quite a few UK meetups and organised some of those. We don't seem to have as many lately, but then some people have gone inactive on Hive.
I hope you can get used to my new avatar :-D
Is KRK in mid-November in your range? Given the HF this year is outside of Europe, I'm thinking about making an excuse for the gathering again ( @hivebeecon ). TBA, I guess.
We have a December trip planned (by train), so will have to see what is viable. I wish I had gone to Aachen. The Germans do a lot of events.
I'm visiting Germany next month, and given @dobranoc is going too I guess we can consider that a mobile Hive meetup? ;-)
If 2 or more Hivers get together then it's a meetup!
All four of my band now have accounts, but the others are not too active. We had some other Hivers come to our last gig. We are thinly scattered across the UK.
