Please provide a short profile of yourself which will help you and others to come up with topics for the day

  • Conor O'Neill, Argolon. Involved in software development since 1992. Started in embedded software with S3 in Dublin, then Integral Design, followed by Xilinx. Did a startup called Advanticus in 2002. Switched to enterprise software in 2003 with EMC and founded Argolon the same year. After a short stint in the security world with Mcafee, I'm back in startup mode and building a new webapp for launch early 2007. Current interests include agile languages, microformats, marketing (and early stage funding :-) )

 

  • Keith Bohanna, dbTwang. Not a developer. Not a techie! Entrepreueur (with varying degrees of success). Was closely involved in niche marketing business in UK, niche manufacturing business there as well and for 2 1/2 years here in a start-up that raised nearly 400k in angel investment and was aimed at a US market. Now co-founder of dbTwang - the web based service place for guitar collectors and enthusiasts - that will launch (behind schedule) by end of year.

 

  • Elly Parker, ellybabes. Based more on the IT Support and Development end of things (but yet not very technical...), I run a secure web-based construction collaboration system for a 'global semiconductor industry giant' based in Leixlip (google it if you're not sure!). I deal with the major construction projects ($5M - $300M) and look after their data integrity and security. Outside of work, attempting to develop my own website and blog. I'm also involved in neighbours.ie, a new space for neighbours and communities to mix & meet online.

 

  • Eoghan McCabe, Naive by Design. Freelance web designer based in Dublin. Interested in building sites with super-simple interfaces and creating small web apps that make people happy.

 

 

 

  • Gavin Byrne, NEARfm/The Media Co-op I've been involved with community media for over 11 years and have been developing community IT and TV projects with The Media Co-op who run NEARfm in Dublin.

 

  • Robert Synnott, Blog I'm a fourth year computer science student in Trinity. I'm just finishing up working for Demonware, a computer games network middleware company. I'm not really a web developer (I've done bits and pieces from time to time, most recently PoliticsInIreland), but I'm interested in out-of-the-ordinary approaches to writing web applications.

 

  • Paul O Mahony, Siopa Eile Intranet developer and blogger. Currently working on a number of projects. A Guide to Online Ireland is a blog that attempts to show people how to make optimal use of the internet. It also includes a unique shopping directory which offers an extensive list of the best shopping sites in Ireland. This directory is a subset of the Open Irish Directory. I have also recently started a new blog called Siopa Eile, which highlights unique online products from Ireland and Europe mainly. I am looking at developing this into a network of shopping blogs under the Siopa Eile brand.

 

  • George Pratt, Just me Last October I began blogging as a way to distract myself while quitting cigarette's (it worked) I kinda lost interest in that blog and to be fair once I had quit the cigarettes it had served it's purpose. In August, I re-discovered what I was missing and started my current Blog Just me not smoking :)

 

  • Siasy Collins, EuropeanIrish.com blog I've developed and expanded EuropeanIrish.com  - an online resource for the Irish in Continental Europe. Running on a shoestring budget - voluntarily for the past 3 yrs, It has become the Central Online resource in Europe for: Irish Music, Sport and Cultural News, Events, AND Irish Music, Dancing, and Festivals in Europe, Irish Clubs & Irish Pubs in Europe, etc... Problem - it's static - not dynamic - I'm looking for a content management solution. Since EuropeanIrish.com was setup, content was my focus as opposed to tech dev - it is therefore static, requiring alot of manual time - and I am still only learning about the blogging, content mgt systems, dynamic web-tools, XML, CSS, XSL, RSS, PHP - etc. AND looking at building up the Community / Networking of Irish across Europe. So this is me and where I am, Hi, I'm Siasy.

 

  • Derek Organ, Blog. CEO of Jeebers Ltd. (Web Application Development ) and Time Warden Ltd ( 1time - Project and employee time tracking software ). Started Jeebers from Chicago in 2003 with some american clients and moved base to Ireland still working with alot of US and now mostly UK clients on web based applications and Online stores. 1time then came about originally as a be-spoke product but with some investment is now used by companies all over the world to track time. My backgound is a degree in computer applications in DCU so I'm more software orientated than business.
