Brilliant!

Yes good idea. Problem is that due to the short notice and all the
appointments for work I have on that day, I will be unable to attend.
Although I actually would really like to hear/see the talks myself ;)

However I could arrange for flyers, either via Rainer (or maybe help
translating/make them and getting those to the right people). Otherwise the
next TED talk in AMS I can arrange for a day off work.

Can anybody make some time to flyer the 30th november (given we can get
permission)?

Am I correct that you had the idea last year to do something in AMS on
Liberation Day? That's also a great idea and it would be nice to arrange to
flyer or have a booth somehow somewhere in AMS on that day.

Kind regards,

Maurice
