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.
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!

With the collaboration of many people around Ireland and even abroad, we did some live streaming of OpenCoffees last week from all around Ireland. Many thanks to everyone who participated and a special thanks to those who helped set it up!

There are rumors that some live streaming action will occur for those that can’t make it in this time! I will update shortly with the details.
