The Technical Dutch Open Source Event (T-DOSE)
In hpr4641 :: Technical Dutch Open Source Event (T-DOSE) , Ken interviewed Peter van Ginneken about the T-DOSE conference.
The Technical Dutch Open Source Event (T-DOSE) is a free conference to promote the use and development of Open Source software. This event has is organised yearly since 2006 in the Brainport region, near Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Hackalot
Hackalot is the Eindhoven and surrounding area hackerspace. A hackerspace is a place where hackers can work on their own or collaborative projects. You can work and talk together, but you can also do your own thing. Together we can also purchase a lot of cooler tools such as lasercutters and 3d printers. Often there is no suitable place for equipment at home. So if you know someone, you are either an electronics/computer/technical hobby that got out of hand, come on by!

Nico was so busy that we were unable to snag an interview this time. However check out our talk with him at the NLUUG Spring Conference 2026 .
Doeidag and Banray
We also interviewed Geert-Jan Meewisse in hpr4639 :: NLUUG Spring Conference 2026 but this time he is here talking about banray.eu
In 2025, Meta sold over seven million pairs of camera-equipped glasses that look like regular Ray-Bans. The person wearing them looks like anyone else. But these people are now products, as is everyone they interact with.
He then also mentioned the Doeidag project where they encourage people to drop one service at a time on the first Sunday of the month

Angry Nerds Podcast
Angry Nerds, met extra cyber!
The Angry Nerds is a Dutch Language podcast about privacy and security
It's a live show that is topical and often humorous tech podcast where a group of enthusiastic nerds discusses current technology, IT and cybersecurity topics. The hosts combine technical depth with background conversations, humor and the occasionally a good dose of cynicism. Expect conversations about everything from network infrastructures to software development, from privacy issues to bizarre tech trends.
