So today, friday the 12th of August, we steemers in Norway met together after work and had some beers. It was all arranged through our Norwegian meetup channel. So we where lucky enough to have gotten some help from the Steem community so I could buy beer for all these great people! We got some help from this post https://steemit.com/steemevents/@vongohren/norway-s-first-steemit-meetup
So thank you Steemit community!
We had some great discussions, some newbies who got really engaged in the new platform and some more experienced steemers like @clains and his Bitspace team! They did some interviews which probably will show up soon on the feed here on steemit!
We were talking about what we could do more to get people in Norway engaged, what kind of collaboration posts could we do, since we all are Norwegians, what future meetups should consist of, and how we could make it easier for Norwegians to be able to cash out if needed. Great ideas came out of this!
We look forward to the next meetup and hope to see more stories of steemers gathering from around the world!
Greetings
@vonGohren
All for one and one for all! Good to see you all onboard. Namaste :)

There should be more of these meetings, every community should organize their own meetings and create tutorials in their native language to spread the word about Steemit. This is starting to get very exciting.

Amazing, I will surely do it in my hometown soon and hopefully extend to other cities. Hope I can start to receive rewards from steemit so I can also start this journey.

@vongohren this is a great effort, hope other communities will copy same. But do not forget to invite non members too.

Of course! But meetup is a open community which everybody can join, so its open for everybody. It's just an easy platform to get the promotion out and easily organize an event!

This is really incredible. I haven't tried yet, but is there already an app, or a search one can use to find people in your area? I'd love to know who's already involved here, and get together with them. Does anyone know of anything like that, or how did you find your countrymen, Von?

Its meetup.com basically. That uses alot of good algorithms to find people nearby and suggest that group to them. It also uses some friend suggesting aswell. When I started it I just made it, and people found the group basically. They get suggestions from meetup based on interests and other factors.
