Except in Europe the date would have been 20/4, which wouldn't make any sense, unless your an American and high.
Also there is much more to do in Amsterdam than smoke the Nederwiet, you know like drinking Grolsch or Heinekin in small glasses with two fingers of foam, eat fantastic food, check out the fantastic architecture, go to OpenBSD release parties, the red light district, the museums, the canals, smoke Nederwiet ... damn, I miss Amsterdam.

Planning an OpenBSD 4.3 Release Party?
Or do you simply fancy a celebratory drink and perhaps a bite to eat amongst like minded folks?
Get in contact.

I would love to, but unfortunately my girlfriend doesn't understand me and I think she would refuse to have sex with me ever again if I attended such a function :-( I'll be there in spirit though.... secretly :-)

I like your catchment area :-)
Your website reminds me I should put an OpenBSD link on mine!
Are you using OpenBSD exclusively as a firewall appliance?
I'm looking for fellow sysadmins like me, running OpenBSD in any server role, supporting windows clients in small biz networks.
Cheers,
Wim

Within the M25 myself. Likeminded OpenBSD admin since 2.3, what a journey it's been!
I only work in big companies though, $US 2 trillion+ is a good starting point - they haven't even donated a single cent to OpenBSD even though they used one of the projects products for years :-(
I'll raise a pint in celebration but my days are full of finding ways to convince my colleagues to improve security so I'll have to cry off this time.
Hopefully one day I'll make it to EuroBSD, we can swap stories, get drunk, fall over then repeat until we pass out ;-)
Cheers,
Alex.

Dutch and Flemish people (below 35-ish) have scary English language skills, you will be very pleasantly surprised :-)

I would say: scary accents when they speak English. ;-)
English speakers are more than welcome! I like diversity.
Last time one of the main organizers was from Chicago (Kevin Kadow).

Last year we even had an American visitor (hey Kevin, dropping by again? :-)
At most conferences and events I've never seen any problems, most people automagically switch to the common language (up to a point where Germans stop speaking German to me, right Felix? :-)

Tempting... direct flights from the states are still relatively cheap.
Just need to find a conference or something out there to make the weekend worthwhile.

Probably too late, but you might go to the NLUUG conference.

Count me in. Cheers Floor!

The party, like Amsterdam in general, is not a problem for people who only speak English -- my Dutch vocabulary is very limited, I survived with little more than "Bier, toiletten, uitgang, dank u" :)
If you'll be anywhere nearby on May 8th, you should attend. Check your train schedules now.

Cafe "De Deugniet" is verry easy to reach by train. It's less than 5 minute walk from the Amsterdam central station.
