Who's from the netherlands ?

[ubuntu_demon]

Hi,

I'm from the netherlands. And I'm curious how much people are from the netherlands also.

I’m a Dutch 25 years old student.

The poll doesn't give much information but it's nice to know how much non-dutch people are following this thread

When I first started this thread we had a lot less users. And I wasn't very concerned for writing a few words in dutch in this thread. Let's try to keep this thread in english :

If you have a problem and you have a hard time with english you can try going to the dutch Ubuntu community :

I don't think the poll is going to get accurate results-- people who aren't from the NL are less likely to click on the thread and see the poll :)

That said, I'm from USA, and I clicked it, so maybe I'm wrong.

[kassetra]

I'm not, but my friend Auke is... and his little woman Stacey is with him (she's from Buffalo, NY, she's my separated-at-birth twin... heh. or so we claim) ... :)

Y'know... she might not like being called his little woman... heh. Well she'll just have to come here and tell me that. heh. :)

Jup, Zwolle to be precise.

BTW demon666 are you a Tweaker (www.tweakers.net)? Because I remember seeing your name passing by on GoT, then again, there are a lot of demon's walking about on the internet :P

I've tried a lot of linux distro's before. But I think Ubuntu is gonna stick on this machine :)

Hey fellow dutch you can add me on IM (see my profile)

[primeirocrime]

I am not from the netherlands, but I wouldn't mind being dutch for a change...I'm quite sick of this portuguese skin arround me.

and sadly the only place I've been in Holand was the Amsterdam airport :(

[Dragonfly_X]

Ek kom van Zuid- Afrika, ek kan nie real dutch praat nie maar ek praat Afrikaans wat afkomstig is van Hollands.

I'm Irish, but have lived in The Netherlands for about 18 years now, and currently live in Almere. I work for an international IT market research company that often comments on issues around linux, MS, etc. etc. Been using Linux for a couple of months now and have more or less settled on Ubuntu

sounds like an interesting job

[Spoofhound]

sounds like an interesting job

Its got its moments, some interesting insights from talking to vendors about their strategies etc. (especially "off-line" in the bar after formal sessions)

Actually these forums have been a real eye-opener with the breadth and depth of opinions - plenty of food for thought (and great for solving problems - of which there have been a few)

[ubuntu_demon]

I'm creating a fun clan for a very cool free tactical shooter. Would be great if a lot of dutch ubuntu'ers would join :).

[lidewei]

Another one here... ik woon in omg. Heerlen en ben 2 weken geleden overgestapt op (K)Ubuntu. Ik wilde het eigenlijk alleen uitproberen maar heb sindsdien niet 1 keer XP meer opgestart. :grin:

[nocturn]

I'm from Belgium (flanders), but I live about 10-15 minutes from the Dutch border.

Nope, no dice with bablefish...
Flemish person is the closest I guess.

[fng]

I'm also from Belgium.
The dutch border is about 45 minutes away, Landgraaf 60 minutes :)

Most people don't know my town Rotselaar, but we have a huge festival here every year : Rock Werchter (www.rockwerchter.be). That will probably ring a bell :)

[Breepee]

Hallo mede-Nederlandstaligen! Hier een echte Nederlander. Ik woon in Noord-Holland nu maar kom oorspronkelijk uit Gelderland.

[Praetorian]

I'm from Ten Boer approximately 15 km from Groningen

[mvaniersel]

Woon sinds kort in Maastricht, dus nog net Nederland.

I have been using Ubuntu for about a year now. A bit of Gentoo before that, but I got tired of the compiling. ;-)

Not Dutch but I can read the language and understand it when you speak. If I spoke back to you in one of my language you would understand me as well and be able to read it.

[Biltong (Dee)]

Afrikaans is very similar to Dutch, and most Afrikaaners kept a close eye on Holland in the world cup
It wasn't to be :-(

[potrick]

Third generation immigrant from Holland to Canada here, and I consider myself Dutch in a lot of ways. It's complicated, I guess, but it is part of my identity.

[richbarna]

No, but one of my best friends and workmates is a Dutch English teacher called Nienke. Dutch + English = Great drinking partners :) (We show the Spaniards how to do it properly) Dutch girls are the best !!
