[Ireland] OSGeo Ireland - Face2Face meetup

[Seth GIRVIN]

Hi all,

As a non-permanent resident, I’ll only be in Dublin on the 13th of April out of those dates.
If another date is selected I’ll try and enrol a colleague or two into the OSGeo Ireland Chapter and see if they can attend.

Will anyone on the list be attending FOSS4G in Bonn this August? I should be there for some of it.
The final call for presentations is next Monday.

Regards,

Seth

Thanks Mel

OK - I'll take the prerogative and suggest a few dates in April and May. If there is some overlap with other people's availability we'll setup a Doodle poll.

In parallel you may have seen Dan Cussen's invitation to consider the Dublin Hackerspace TOG as a potential venue. Dan also suggested a potential co-meeting with the OpenStreetMap Ireland people on Saturday April 23rd at TOG.

Weekdays (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday)
13/14 April
19/20/21 April
27/28 April
May 3rd
May 5th
May 10th,12th
May 17th, 19th
+ Dan's suggestion of April 23rd (Saturday)

Sounds good to me - April and May are ok to me. You know it is impossible to predict business priorities but I think suggest a few dates and times, our offices are available if that suits.

Hello everyone,

I'm emailing to follow on from our last OSGeo Ireland meetup online hosted by OpenApp.ie. I've included a few people in CC as I'm not sure if everyone is on the list.

At the last meeting we agreed that it is time for us to have a Face2Face meet up soon.

Rather than create a Doodle Poll with lots of dates and times which don't work - perhaps we could have a short discussion on the mailing list here about where and when the best time would be? After this we could create a Doodle Poll.

The guys at OpenApp said that they would be happy to host in their offices in central Dublin. While this won't suit everyone logistically their offices are very accessible via public transportation.

Myself and Daniel McInerney have spoken about this meetup a few times.

We think that it should be informal, a couple of hours long, maybe include 5 minute flash presentations from participants so that everyone can see what people are interested in/currently doing/currently wanting to do in the OSGeo world.

The initial goal we should be working towards is a one day OSGeo Ireland event (presentations, networking, invited speaker (maybe)) THIS YEAR. At the meetup we could also discuss the possibility of bringing something bigger such as FOSS4G 2017 Europe to Ireland.  FOSS4G 2017 Global is not in Europe so there is an opportunity to reproduce FOSS4G 2015 Como here. Myself and Daniel would be willing to be the leaders of this.

So let's have some opinions and views about a meeting in April or May 2016. Then we can create a poll of the popular options and go from there.

Best wishes,

Peter
