Au Pair needed for 3 cute Irish Monkies in Toronto

Au Pair needed for 3 cute Irish Monkies in Toronto

My closest and dearest friend left Ireland 2 years ago due to the construction industry recession over here.  She packed up her bags and 3 kids and headed west and landed in Guelph Toronto and hasn’t looked back since.  She has 3 lovely kids Saoirse 10 and twins Alannah and Cillian who are 4.5.

She’s looking for an Au Pair to mind the kids.  The Twins need minding 2 days a week as they’ve just started school. So before and after school otherwise.  Tara works as a health and safety manager for a construction company, and travels a small amount so on those times she’d like the person to be able to stay over.

The eldest is 10 and in Grade 5, and the twins are starting Junior Kindergarden in Sept. If you’re fun reliable and looking for work do contact her and meet 3 great kids!

Ubuntu Global Jam Ireland a great success

Ubuntu Global Jam Ireland a great success

Thanks to the folks over at Tog who kindly offered us space to meet up and work on Ubuntu Global Jam.  It was I think the best one so far for us. 8 people turned up over the day and we worked on different areas and helped one another.  It was great to see two people who’d never log a bug before get excited how they could log all their information in the ubuntu-bug command so that was pretty good to see.

Mike took on the task of giving the Irish wiki page a massive overhaul, we gave him some ideas and showed him how to create the fancy sub header, so it’s now looking very nice. Rory worked on some LoCo Directory bits namely the stuff he logged as bugs :) Others worked on Answers on Launchpad and triaging bugs so all in all a great day was had.  Thanks to all those who came in it was great to see new faces there. It was great to get people using Ubuntu in ways they never had, learning how to create their own wiki pages and logging into the LoCo Directory and showing them how to look up events.
