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?
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?

I’m not sure “bigger” is necessarily what OpenCoffee needs, but it certainly could do with a little more organisation. A few people have mailed to say they turned-up but could find anyone. Maybe someone with a little time to spare could knock some signs together? Or maybe we should find someone to sponsor a room? Smart ideas of all shapes and sizes are welcome.
