Welcome - Blockchain, Ethereum and Eris @Rabobank,

(Djuri Baars (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dsbaars), Blockchain specialist Rabobank)



Djuri (our host for this meetup) will discuss the challenges he and his Rabobank colleagues encountered in using Ethereun, Eris and the Ethereum Virtual Machine in particular.



Locals.world, an community-building Dapp,

(Stefaan Ponnet (https://twitter.com/sponnet), lead developer)



http://Locals.world is a Dapp to help self-organisation of local communities. A reputation coin (https://github.com/locals-world/locals-comms/wiki/LocalCoin) stimulates mutual support between members (https://github.com/locals-world/locals-comms/wiki/Social-economics) (example: English (https://github.com/locals-world/locals-comms/wiki/Locals-Examples)/Dutch (http://locals.world/#%21/exampleone)).

It is developed by the Locals Foundation (https://github.com/locals-world/locals-comms/wiki/Locals-Foundation) that might evolve into a DAO itself. Stefaan will also elaborate on the technologies used (https://github.com/locals-world/locals-comms/wiki/Technologies-used-by-Locals), and give some background on other projects the same team has been working, among which the somewhat controversial project Arcade City (https://arcade.city/).



Show and Tell



Like last time, we'll also have a number of mini-talks: 5-minute demos, or even just pitches for a project you’re working on, or planning to work on. No slides required.

NOTE: this is a developer meetup, discussing Ethereum development topics. We will not be discussing broader or less technical subjects such as the impact on society, currency trading, or the relationship with Bitcoin. We warmly refer to our Bitcoin friends, some of whom have covered Ethereum-related subjects before: BTC Wednesday (http://www.meetup.com/BitcoinWednesday/), BTC Amsterdam (http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Amsterdam/), BTC Embassy (http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Embassy-Amsterdam/). There are also several new Blockchain-branded groups (http://www.meetup.com/find/?allMeetups=false&keywords=blockchain&radius=100&userFreeform=Amsterdam%2C+Netherlands&mcId=c1029969&mcName=Amsterdam%2C+NL&sort=recommended&eventFilter=mysugg).



New to development on Ethereum?



We welcome new people to the meetup, we do ask however that you do some effort beforehand to familiarise yourself with Ethereum. These videos (all of them embedded here too (http://www.meetup.com/Amsterdam-Ethereum-Meetup/events/228400953/)) are a good start:



• Gavin Wood, Ethereum for dummies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_LK0t_qaPo)



• Vitalik Buterin, Understanding the Ethereum Blockchain protocol (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjwr-7PgpN8) - and the updated 2016 edition: Ethereum in 25 minutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66SaEDzlmP4).



• Building a distributed application (dapp) for web developers: backend contract code (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seU7DykOxfc), user interaction in a Dapp browser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPpi9BPkRbo), Javascript frontend (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij5tGo8cp80)
