Everything seems to happen at once. During the week of the IOTC on the Thursday (19th June) night Paul Walsh is hosting the Firefox 3 party in Dublin. Sign up and come along, why not. Also just seeing from the ILUG mail, that Firefox are going to attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records by getting as many people to download FF3 at the same time!

Well I seem to be getting some feed back via the blog, ILUG mailing list and twitter. So many mediums and messages left in multiple areas I said I’d do up a small update of what I’d collected so far. This update is by no means final and I welcome any more suggestions of topics and speakers (hint!!)

Speakers who have expressed an interest and topics they would like to talk on.

Patrick Collison - Fom his language necrophilia, he is willing to talk about badass interactive dev environments — Genera from the Lisp machines of olde, SLIME and such from modern Lisp implementations, Squeak Smalltalk, etc.

Bryn M. Reeves - Red Hat – Magicing LVM back from oblivion under the “Data Recovery”

Alan Cox – Red Hat - still to confirm fully.

Qamir Hussain - Ruby Ireland – Using open source tools in the tech business, i.e. How my business uses them and the advantages/ disadvanges of them.

Noirin Shirley – Open Source – More Than Code; Understanding Open Source Licenses; Open Source – Collaboration Tools.

Php Ireland – hopefully

Topics that folks want to hear about but I need speakers for:

• Using linux based tools to developfor embedded systems that don’t necessarily have an operating system installed.
• How advancements in open source virtulization techology like XenSource is changing things.

Full list and comments are here.

Microsoft have said they would like to partipcate in this event so I looked for topics for them, suggestions put foward inclunde:

• How MS Came up with the Source ForceIdea
• How MS are going to make OOXML implemtable

Thanks to all who came, more pics are here. Thomas Pedoussaut(Tpt) robbed his sons toy and Paul O’Malley (Ompaul) bought the pint.
