New Venue Found: Digital Depot

Many many thanks to Joe Drumgoole & PutPlace for hosting us at the Digital Depot this week.  PutPlace graciously offered to sponsor biscuits & pastries as well!

We will start around 10:30am on Thursday.  Please ask at reception for OpenCoffee.  The Digital Depot’s website is here: http://www.digitaldepot.ie/ 

And here is a map (Joe says turn on satellite view): http://url.ie/gyc 

 We have at least one short demo from PutPlace and possibly another…I will update after I confirm.

Please use the comments form below to let us know if you are coming so we can account for pastries & biscuits, etc.

Thanks and see you Thursday.

Moving Venue: 26 June 2008

I am at the Filmbase Cafe right now and am unable to connect to their wifi.  There are some plugs on one wall, and while the tea selection is great, I have to say that the construction work on the adjacent street (read: drilling cobblestone) makes this not an ideal OpenCoffee location for now.

So I am proposing we try The Digital Hub for this week.  From the reports, they have good wifi, and I have seen their cool little meeting rooms and can vouch for the coffee.

Every time I’ve been there, I’ve had to sign in - does someone need to host us there?  Volunteers please?

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions and comments.

New Venue for OpenCoffee Dublin?

Looking for suggestions for a new venue for OpenCoffee - any ideas are welcome.

We’ve tried to do live broadcasting without much success due to wifi issues and loudness issues, as The Morrison, while they make great coffee, is quite a large and loud venue with off-and-on wifi and without many electrical outlets.

Suggestions anyone?  I am planning on bringing a RoundTable camera for live conferencing next week, so would like a good venue for this to work better.

 Thanks!
