[Ireland] OSGeo Ireland - Face2Face meetup

[Daniel Cussen]

The event will go ahead on April 23rd
Blog post here:
https://www.tog.ie/2016/04/osm-mapjam-saturday-23rd-of-april/
It was the only date that suited me.

I would suggest coming up with a list of things to
discuss/agenda/presentations etc.

Note TOG has moved since the last OSM meeting.
