Hi, Jeroen and Emil I'm also interested in the Dutch Chapter. In fact I'm the initial member of Taiwan Chapter, but studying in the Netherlands. It's very interesting that there is a Dutch in our Chapter. At the moment, I will see how to join Dutch Chapter. It seems to some knids of exchange!! Besides, we always have to translate the information to English for out Dutch friend. I agree with Emil's idea, there might be no need to translate the information to Dutch and I will be more easy to catch information about Dutch Chapter. ^_^ !
