What
Barcamp is an ad-hoc gathering of passionate folks who want to share, interact and spread the love around what they spend their days and nights toiling away on.
When/Where/Hosts
- 23 Sept? (Not coinciding with BarCampEarth???)
- Dublin, Cork, Galway, Kilkenny (We do not have a venue as suitable as webworks :-(,keith B) - depends on numbers and location
- Webworks in Cork is an ideal venue (wifi throughout the building, central and connected) and they have offered it free for this event
- TSSG or WIT in Waterford can offer a venue (pwatson@tssg.org).
- DERI Galway can offer a venue too.
- Innovation Centre in Castlebar has lots of space!
Let's go for the West (Galway), great buzz and pubs for the apres-barCamp
