What is the plan: To organize a Polkadot meetup in Karlsruhe, Germany. The first meeting is scheduled for early November 2018.
How many people: The first meeting as well as the associated Meetup group Polkadot - Karlsruhe will be organized by me. A co-organizer would be welcome.
Do you need help from W3F: A team member to do a presentation on Polkadot would be greatly appreciated, as well as presentation materials. Some stickers for the notebooks maybe. No financial support required.
Do you need help from the community: Attendance would be greatly appreciated, and of course some help to promote the meetup group.

Hey Helge (@hstm) thanks for showing interest in running a meetup! We're really starting to get this initiative going and we're very pleased that the first community organised meetup in Rotterdam was such a success. It is also great to see you create a new meetup group for your area! :-D

If you'd like some help with presentation material, then please see the current material at the end of the following document: Meetups. I'm hoping to add another presentation to that list today / tomorrow! edit: my presentation is here: Link

We should be able to get someone from either W3F or Parity to present at one of your meetings, I can't say how availability looks until I've had a chat with my colleagues. One of the things that worked well in Rotterdam was a community presentation on setting up a node. Something to consider at least!

Update: I'm going to step down as organizer of the Meetup group Polkadot Karlsruhe due to time constraints. Since there is no co-organizer that could continue the group, the group has been closed.
I recommend to all interested people to join the Karlsruhe Blockchain Meetup group alternatively.
