B-society in the Netherlands
I read that there is a B-society active in The Netherlands (commonly known as Holland). Is that true? I can't find them
Does anyone know?

I looked for the Dutch B-Society in January...
... and had brief contact via Twitter with the woman who was mentioned in the newspaper articles in 2009 (promising a start-up in summer 2009). She said she needed more people to help set it up, I offered my help but I never heard from her again. The Twitter name/account is also gone. I guess she is like all the Dutch night owls who work the office life and/or have kids, too tired... ;)
I myself have embraced Work2.0 (Het Nieuwe Werken) and am able to work flexible hours and from the home. But I also have 3 little children (including 2 yr old twins) who are all night owlets and need to be in school every day by 8.30 a.m. the latest! :(
So I have just been too busy and tired (especially during summer with that %^&*#@ Daylight Saving Time) to do anything other than dream about a Dutch B-Society, but I definitely want to help change things for the better!

Thanks for the links Rwin. Re: the black hole: they must have read your mail it in the morning when they were still half dead from being forced out of bed at an ungodly hour;-).
It would be very nice if you could register the domain. I'd like to offer my help but I know nothing about creating a website.

Startup in The Netherlands - I can help with website
Hello,
I had heard before the same that b-society was up and running in NL but also I cannot find anything. I am a webmaster and union member of FNV here in NL and I am willing to help start up the NL website.
It is about time I think.
Best regards,

Hi,
I'm the secretary in B-society and would like to help you get in touch with each other, in order to start up a B-platform in the Netherlands.
Please send me an e-mail - and I will send it on to the other members bcc, so everyone has the opportunity to decide wether to be active or not. But it will definitely be easier to promote the B-agenda, when more people work together.
Best wishes,
Liselotte

Dear Catharina,
I don't know for sure, but the same news has come to my ears. I'm going to try and find out for you. I myself am from Belgium (next to Holland) so it should not be to hard to find out.
Can I contact you in any way if necessary?
My e-mail => nelenyves@gmail.com

Yves
Hi, sorry have not been
Hi, sorry have not been around much on the net lately. And thank you for your post.
Can't find BS in NL at all. Such a shame. Apparantly it is still 'not done' to admit that you are an evening person.

After reading this article in 2009: http://headlines.nos.nl/forum.php/list_messages/15023 , I didn't read much on this topic.
When you google a bit you'll find articles that where published about the same date: http://www.depers.nl/economie/296084/Avondmensen-willen-uitslaaprecht.ht... and then some...
In all articles can be read that this summer, that's 2009, the Dutch version of the b-society will be a fact... ;)
About 30 weeks ago I offered my help by e-mail to accomplish at least the website but my guess is that this e-mail just went straight into a black hole... ;)
(btw: offer still stands and I'll be happy to register the domain name: b-society.nl)
Blue skies!
