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.

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.

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.
