[Ireland] OSGeo Ireland - Face2Face meetup

[Dave Corley]

Just my 2 cents, but weekday meets pretty much exclude anyone not from the
immediate locality.

I only mention it as another group called Datakind Ireland started up about
18 months ago which I joined. When challenged about the scheduling, they
changed to Datakind Dublin rather than accommodate those from outside the
environs of Dublin.

Weekday meets are grand starting out, but it should be kept in mind once
things start to develop.
