Interested noise. New to the forum - is there any well to get a sense of whether anyone/who else is pitching up? Marios

Welcome to LessWrong!
If you're in Berlin and considering to attend, definitely join the mailing list. We usually have a poll to see who is coming to a meetup, but didn't run one this time. There are usually 6-10 of us.

This is where we come together in person to chat!
We will experiment with emulating a small meetup by having two tables, hopefully leading to more personal discussions. There are no special activities this time. We'll talk about our plans and make commitments.
Everyone is welcome, I'll bring a sign.

We're meeting to chat and talk about practical rationality.
This time we'll
- discuss the first few items of the checklist of rationality habits,
- maybe get an personal account of mindfulness meditation practice,
- discuss our plans and make commitments.
Everyone is welcome, I'll bring a sign.

We're meeting at my house for a social meetup on Jan 26th. Everyone is welcome. Please check the thread on our mailing list for details and the precise location.
This is an informal event where we plan to play Go, Resistance, maybe other boardgames and chat. Some people have volunteered to bring food and you're welcome to participate (organize on mailing list). I expect we'll have food delivered for dinner.

It's the first meetup in 2013 and apart from the inevitable talk about the new year celebrations, there'll be:
- An introduction to Bayes rule: an explanation of what people mean when they say they updated on some evidence - with lots of exercises
- Space reserved for public commitments and predictions
New people are always welcome! There'll be a sign saying "LessWrong" on our table.

For programmers who are curious about OpenMeeting, I've set up a mockup server on my PC. It's is not entirely stock install, I've changed a few configurations to make it more like what we want. No source code changing yet though. You can have a look at it here:
http://forecast.student.utwente.nl:5080/openmeetings/
Go there, wait for a few seconds for it to load, make an account (no verification or anything required), and then you can join the public room. You'll get a popup for video settings: it shows a black screen initially, even though your cam does work when you hit "Start recording test". I've notified the devs that this is very non-intuitive, and they'll be changing it.
Instead of joining the public room, you also have the option to make personal rooms, and invite people in with a link.
My impression about OpenMeetings:
Pros:
Cons:
Compared to Google hangouts:
Pros:
Cons:
Neither is a clear winner. I'll personally be looking at if it's easy to change the layout on OpenMeetings. If that's doable, then it's already at or beyond the "baseline" level we have with Tinychat.
Rearranging the internal video canvas layout seems to be not supported.
