It was nice to be able to organise my first ever OpenCoffee Dublin on 13th March and lots of cool folks turned up on the day. The only drawback was that I didn’t really have any topics/ideas planned for discussion so I was wondering if you guys had some thoughts on what you would like to gather together and talk about at the next one?
I was talking to Declan McGrath (theirishpenguin) and he has kindly created an OpenCoffee topic list at Etherpad so head along there and/or leave some comments if you get a chance.
BTW the next OpenCoffee will be Saturday 10 April in the same place as the last one: Cafe Novo at the Westbury.
It’s not a joke. OpenCoffee Dublin is on April Fools Day for April. Meet us at the Science Gallery for the next OpenCoffee Dublin event. This will be on THURSDAY, 1st APRIL 2010 from 10:30am.
Also not a joke – we have surprise giveaways for attendees at this week’s OpenCoffee Dublin. I don’t want to spoil it, but I promise it will help you find other OpenCoffee-teers at future OpenCoffee events.
We meet in the Science Gallery in Trinity College Dublin on Pearse Street in The Naughton Institute.
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 Thursday.
I’m delighted to announce that Saturday OpenCoffee Dublin is BACK – huge thanks to Marie Boran!
Meet at Café Novo, underneath the Westbury Hotel, for OpenCoffee Dublin on SATURDAY 13th MARCH from 10:30am.
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.
Trying a new idea here – just posting a few ideas after each OpenCoffee Dublin from folks who attended or links we discussed. Please feel free to send feedback on what you’d like to see here after OpenCoffees.
