Ubuntu Ireland August Geeknic

Ubuntu Ireland August Geeknic

The poll for the August Geeknic is now closed.  St. Stephens Green was the winner. It’s a big park so I recommend this location as the meeting point on Sunday the 14th August at 1pm.

Everyone is welcome, bring along some food, maybe a rug to sit on and come and chat with other people who want to meet you! We’re meeting HERE!!!
I’ll be the one with the Tux baseball cap.  Plus crutches. Two other locations were suggested in comments for a the location.  It

was too late to add them to the poll but I will make sure that they are offered as locations for the next Dublin Geeknic.

Fingers crossed the weather stays dry for us.

See you there,
moylan

PS Me – czajkowski won’t be there :) See you soon folks

Planet Ubuntu Ireland – Lets get chatting

Planet Ubuntu Ireland – Lets get chatting

We are redoing the ubuntu-ie website here for the Irish team. We have our own planet and there are many members, it would be great to add more of your blogs on here. You don’t have to post about Ubuntu, post about you, what you do, what projects you’re working on. We’re a community and we should get to know our community. You don’t have to be based in Ireland still, lots of us ex pats want to get in touch and keep up to date with one another.  Tell us about what you’re working on, your hobbies, something that caught your eye, photographs anything.  Yes if it’s about Ubuntu great and that is good, if it’s about OSS/FLOSS, Linux or anything Geeky you should add your blog here and tell more people about the work you are doing.

In the future on loco.ubuntu.com there will be a feed taken from all the blogs that will have a tag associated with them, that tag has yet to be decided and those posts that are about Ubuntu and your locoteam and
events will be displayed on loco.ubuntu.com

If you would like your RSS feed added just drop a line to the list there are a few admins here who can add it here for you, or nab us on ubuntu-ie on freenode or poke people on @ubuntuie twitter and identi.ca accounts and ask them to add your RSS feed plus a title for it.

Now get blogging and tell people what the folks in Ireland are doing!

Ubuntu-ie and Canonical Meet up in Dublin

Ubuntu-ie and Canonical Meet up in Dublin

Next week some of the folks that work in Canonical from various teams, such as Launchpad and the Platform team  will be in Dublin on a sprint (coding/mini conference ). As we are such a great LoCo (we’ve just been re approved) we are having a pub meetup to say hello to some of them.  Everyone is welcome to drop in and say hi, it’d be nice to put the names to the faces and well meet the folks who do such a great job on Ubuntu! Event is on the LD if you want to sign up

If you have any questions poke the folks in #ubuntu-ie on freenode, or @ubuntuie on twitter and identi.ca or tdr112 on irc.
