in #steemfest7 years ago

Another busy week. I managed to do a little kitesurf after my crazy coastal trip of 3 weeks ago. Wind was crazy stormy but nice to have a couple of hours away from it all and focus on one thing: Surviving the wind & water, while having fun doing so :) Back to that other thing now.... SteemFest!

thank you @roelandp , the hackaton is a nive addition, i am really curious what comes out at the end of the day..

presentations on day 2 of the SteemFest conference days... So hackers can still finetune their app and get some sleep in between :P

I'll miss the hackathon, but look forward to chatting with some developers. Counting down the days

@roelandp Do we have any titles of some of the presentation yet?

I cannot wait to get there. Are you @johngentry going to the Hackathon?

Maybe, I want to talk with Randy and see if he is going first.

I have been so busy this weekend I didn't see this post until now!

Super honored to be contributing to the fun and success of SteemFest2 while furthering the cause of Steemit!

Already excited to see you all there soon!

I'm from Amsterdam, the whole dutch coast :)

Best of luck for Steemfest 3. I am not able to make it this year as I just returned from my Trans- Mongolia Adventure. However next year i will go, no matter what.

lucky you are, to take part to this event...

Hey @roelandp, I'm interested in the hackathon, but I live in the States and cannot make it to SteemFest. Is there a way to participate remotely>

idea is to have an on-site hackathon so ideas flow within ad hoc team, being there is ofcourse the nicest. I would have to see about remote participation especially with presentations / demos.

In any case: Please register on the hackathon page and you get updates about it https://steemfest.devpost.com and maybe you can join in either remotely on a team attending the hackathon or see how it works out... If you register you can apply for 'looking for team mates'

Sounds good, will do.

Anyone interested in forming a team for NCR (India)? I think it will help us if some expert guide us(about steemit) face to face?

Definitely It will be a great fest :) Have fun Steem Family ;)

Hi @roelandp.. I'm new Here, I need a push , thank you for up vote this post

Wow awesome!!! we need to organsize a Steemfest in Germany!!!

A Steem meetup in Germany would be great! I think many would like to come as they can't make it to the SteemFest this time

You can always organise a Steem meetup. SteemFest will now after 2 editions in Europe move to another continent, so this is your change to still join in. Find a cheap flight and come join the weather in Lisbon!

very cool, wow, Nov. One isn't even that faraway now. the SF2 site looks very slick!

This Steemfest will be a success, for sure!
