The next OpenCoffee Club Dublin will be on Thursday, 2 October 2008 from 10:00am.
Digital Hub is again hosting OpenCoffee Dublin.
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.
(As a reminder, we’re now meeting on Thursdays only once a month, always on the first Thursday of the month at the Digital Hub. Saturday OpenCoffees are the third Saturday of the month at NYG.)
Due to the previous OpenCoffee this past weekend, there will be no OpenCoffees this week.
We will resume again in the Digital Hub on Thursday, October 2nd at 10:30am. See you there.
This past Saturday saw the first ever OpenCoffee Club Dublin meeting in NYG in the IFSC.
As a regular attendee of OpenCoffee, I was surprised and delighted to see many new faces, some new to OpenCoffee and some I had never met before. It was excellent, and there was not much overlap from the Thursday events which made me realize we need to keep this going.
The feedback from the event has been good, so while I had been thinking we would do this once a quarter on Saturdays, I proposed once a month. People seemed to think this is reasonable, but I’d like feedback from others as well.
Is once a month on Saturdays too frequent? It would be at the expense of one of the Thursdays, as I don’t know that we could sustain three events per month and still attract decent crowds. So my proposal is: first Thursday of the month at Digital Hub and third Saturday of the month at NYG.
Thoughts?
The next OpenCoffee Club Dublin will be on SATURDAY, 13 September 2008 from 10:30am.
This time we’ll be meeting in the New York Grind in the IFSC. http://www.nyg.ie/
ALT.NET: (mentioning this again for those who don’t read the blog regularly) there is a special interest around doing something with alt.net. We’re using this OpenCoffee to have some discussions around that and see who might be interested in having regular meetups for alt.net developers.

See you Saturday.

The poll is now closed and there was actually a tie. I flipped a coin and so Saturday, September 13th will be our first weekend OpenCoffee Dublin. We’ll be headed to NYG in the IFSC: http://www.nyg.ie/ OpenCoffee will begin around 10:30 and will go until about 12:30 or so, but it’s quite laid-back.
Please feel free to come along, bring a friend, etc. If you’ve never been to OpenCoffee before, now is a great time to go and meet new people, as there are lots of folks who haven’t been able to make the regular Thursday OpenCoffees.
One additional note: there is a special interest around doing something with alt.net. We’re using this OpenCoffee to have some discussions around that and see who might be interested in having regular meetups for alt.net developers.
It’s always helpful when people leave their names / interests in the comments section so that people have an idea of who might be attending - feel free to do that below.
Thanks and see you soon.
Okay we had a great response to the idea of Saturday OpenCoffee in Dublin, so the next order of business is choosing a day. Please use the poll below, courtesy of polldaddy.com, to indicate which day would work better for you.
As an FYI we’re planning around brunch time, so it would be starting at 10:30 or 11-ish and then continue on as long as folks care to stay.
New York Grind seems to be an ideal location, but please use the comments below to suggest other suitable brunch spots (with wifi).
Thanks all for your participation & interest.
Which Saturday in September works best for OpenCoffee Dublin?

Earlier this week and yesterday at OpenCoffee Dublin we’ve been having discussions on trying an alternate day. For September we’re going to try having a Saturday morning OpenCoffee. Which days would suit people best? Please add your comments about dates & times below.
We’re thinking of using the New York Grind, but are open to other suggestions. Thoughts?
