Taking a page out of the good book on Open Coffee networking events, I've decided to start one for Almere. Following the example of the original Open Coffee event, we'll gather every month (same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!) to meet new people over a cup of hot Java.
To get things going I've opened the Open Coffee Almere group at LinkedIn.com. With a bit of luck we'll get a few dozen members soon.
To make the group stand out a little bit I've worked with InkScape for a few hours. By combining the Almere coat of arms with the common logo for most Dutch OC groups I think I've managed to create something unique. Besides, I didn't feel like re-using the same low-res image all the other groups use ;) By making the logo a vector image I've guaranteed that we can resize it to -any- size without loss of quality.
EDIT:
I've set up a simple Wordpress site at opencoffeealmere.nl to act as a face to the masses.

I must say that the Dreamhost "one click installs" make life very easy! Installing Wordpress took five minutes and after that I needed maybe 30-60 minutes to tweak the setup of the Wordpress site. Wordpress also allows me to add additionel editors to the site, so my colleagues can manage content. Nice!
