The next OpenCoffee Club Dublin will be on SATURDAY, 21 March 2009 from 10:30am.
This will be our last meeting in the New York Grind in the IFSC, as NYG seems to have gotten a bit small for us. http://www.nyg.ie/. There was discussion last time about a new venue, so please come along with ideas for an alternate Saturday meeting place. We will be finalizing our decision for that location on Saturday and meet there in April.
Please leave a comment below if you’re attending so that we have an idea of numbers, and if you are interested in demoing, please e-mail martharo@microsoft.com and let me know.
See you Saturday.
During our last Saturday meetup, there was a lot of discussion about changing venue, as NYG is not very suitable for large group discussions and many people have issues finding seats and joining the conversations they want to join.
We’re looking for a fairly large venue that can easily hold 20-30 people, offers coffee/treats/breakfast goodies, and has decent wifi. A bonus would be the option to book off a separate room.
I’m happy to call around and ask venues but I need more suggestions. I tried the Science Gallery but they don’t open until noon on Saturdays.
Ideas? Please leave them in the comments below or e-mail them to me at martharo [at] microsoft.com.
Thanks.
Many of the folks that attend OpenCoffee meetups are web designers, developers and business decision makers. You may be interested to know that the Irish Internet Association (http://www.iia.ie/) Web Development Working Group have created a survey to find out more about what people would like to have the working group address.
If you have a couple of minutes, please click this link to fill out the survey and give them the valuable feedback they need.
From their blog:
- Among a number of issues that were discussed the Working Group decided that they needed to get a better idea of what you, the IIA members and readers, would like from them. To this end they have created a short survey on the topics you would like them to address in their work. They hope to receive responses from a broad range of businesses in many sectors so no matter what area your work focusses your response is important. It also includes some demographic questions which will give them a better idea of your business background and therefore they will be able to ensure that their outputs are developed accordingly.
This is just a quick note to say that there are plans in the works for a Virtual OpenCoffee this coming Saturday, March 7th. We will have details tomorrow regarding times & URL, so check back for all the details tomorrow and make sure to leave some time free Saturday.
