Revival of the Amsterdam Ethereum developer meetup

(Update 28/1: we reached full capacity after 1 day, but please put yourself on the waiting list so we can have an idea of demand to increase the number + you're 1st in line when people move on)

(Update 2/2: we increased the capacity to 40. Please un-rsvp if you cannot join after all, to make place for people on the waiting list.
Also: note this is a developer meetup, discussing Ethereum development topics. We will not be discussing broader or less technical subjects such as the impact on society, currency trading, or the relationship with Bitcoin. We warmly refer to older Meetup groups in Amsterdam who have covered Ethereum-related subjects before: BTC Wednesday (https://www.meetup.com/BitcoinWednesday/), BTC Amsterdam (https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Amsterdam/), BTC Embassy (https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Embassy-Amsterdam/))

(Update 23/2: closed for new RSVP's. Please change your RSVP to NO if you can't make it, so people on the Waiting list can move up)

____________________________________________________

The public Ethereum network has been live for half a year now, and the interest to build applications on top of the platform, has never been higher. Let’s revive the Amsterdam developer meetup!

Innopay (https://innopay.com/) will be hosting at February 25. We’ll have two talks, short demos, food and of course some socialising over drinks.

Program:

18u30-19h: doors open19h: Talks

• Ethereum in multistakeholder setups: blockchain tech is supposed to make cooperation across organisation boundaries easy. Let’s test this assumption, and compare blockchain solutions with current models. (Pascal Van Hecke (http://vanhecke.info))

• The current state of the docs: what resources are available now to become a (better) developer on the Ethereum platform? (Joris Bontje (https://www.youtube.com/user/EtherCasts))

Show and Tell: short 5-minute demos, or even just pitches for a project you’re working on, or planning to work on. No slides required. The main purpose is getting people curious, and have them come and talk to you afterwards.
Already confirmed slots:
1: Update on Syng.io and the state of Mobile Ethereum computing (Jarrad Hope)
2: Demo of the Ether.camp IDE (Benedikt (https://www.meetup.com/Amsterdam-Ethereum-Meetup/members/185569677))
3: Choosing between the Bitcoin and Ethereum Blockchains as notarisation layer in a Supply Chain Finance application (Joris Oudejans and Hidde Lycklama, Vlinderstorm)
4: Transparent voting on Ethereum, application that won a recent Cap Gemini hackathon (https://www.nl.capgemini.com/evenementen/hackathon-weekend-2016) (Merlijn van Ittersum)
5: ...
Let us know what you want to show and tell to reserve your time slot: message Pascal via Meetup PM (https://www.meetup.com/Amsterdam-Ethereum-Meetup/members/2378777/) or mail Pascal dot VanHecke at innopay dot com.

22h: we leave the office. Further drinks in the café downstairs WTC are still an option!

Our Hosts for this meetup:

Innopay (https://innopay.com/) is a consulting company that helps organisations to innovate in payments, digital identity and e-commerce. You’ll find their office at the 3d floor in the World Trade Center: exit station Amsterdam Zuid at Zuidplein side, go to the main entrance of the WTC (that’s the building on your right hand side), and take the elevators of the F-tower: a bit to the left after going through the revolving doors (don’t take the escalators).

New to development on Ethereum?

We welcome new people to the meetup, we do ask however that you do some effort beforehand to familiarise yourself with Ethereum. These videos are a good start:

Gavin Wood, Ethereum for dummies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_LK0t_qaPo):

Vitalik Buterin, Understanding the Ethereum Blockchain protocol (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjwr-7PgpN8):

Building a distributed application:

Web developers in particular can get a rough understanding of the software layers of a distributed application (dApp):
