Just found this out today, there is a meeting tonight to discuss the plans to set up a Limerick Hackerspace.  If you can make it, come along to the Absolute Hotel at 7:30pm or you can join up to the group on Google Groups HERE. Nice to see one taking off here as there are ones in Galway, Cork and Dublin.

Just for those who might not be keeping up to date with developments at other hackespaces – there are now three in the country – TOG.ie in  Dublin, 091Labs.com in Galway and a new one in Cork

There’s an active forum on Boards.ie for 091labs

There is a Twitter list for people involved in the various  spaces - http://twitter.com/eirepreneur/hackerspaces

So firstly what is a hackerspace? Hackerspaces are community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on their projects.

Now Dublin has one thanks to a lot of very dedicated folks. They’ve been at this now for months with regular  meet ups and planning.  They needed to get a certain level of commitment from folks as they needed to find a home for themselves to operate out of and they did.

They have an open public meeting every two weeks on a Thursday the next one is this Thursday the 4th of june. Venue to be confirmed, but most likely their new office space on the Quays above Voodo.

To become a member you must get two full members to sign your membership form and then you become a probationary member you can use the space as along as there is a full member there. In order to get two full member to sign your form come to the meeting get to know us , come on the irc
The space is open 24/7 to full members .

It’s a great resource and folks should pop on down to a meet up and get them to give you the grand tour!
