| czajkowski | bootlfdhfrsa: morning | 08:49 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | czajkowski, Hi there You in Ireland, or not ? | 08:50 |
| czajkowski | I am currently | 08:50 |
| czajkowski | I'm at home till the end of the month | 08:51 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Yeah, I'm listening to 96FM at the moment . In Douglas. | 08:51 |
| czajkowski | I'm in Castleconnell | 08:51 |
| czajkowski | so nenagh side of limerick | 08:51 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | I would like to know more about the Ubunutu/Linux Irish scene. | 08:51 |
| czajkowski | it's quiet but it is there | 08:52 |
| czajkowski | today in limerick for example there is an open source meet up which seems to happen from time to time | 08:52 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | nothing changed then ! | 08:52 |
| czajkowski | next week I'm giving a talk to the UL students on how to get involved in ubuntu | 08:52 |
| czajkowski | and at the weekend we had skycon.skynet.ie | 08:53 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Which would you say is the best place for open source in Ireland/ Uni's etc . ? | 08:53 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | BRBack (making a cuppa tea) | 08:54 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Oh poo ! only half a dozen tea bags left .. need to pop to the shops at midday . | 08:55 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | czajkowski, Still there ? | 08:56 |
| czajkowski | yes | 08:57 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Is Limerick the best Linux course in Ireland, then ? | 08:57 |
| czajkowski | not sure I'd say that tbh | 08:57 |
| czajkowski | each college has it's own merrit | 08:58 |
| czajkowski | it really depends on the student | 08:58 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Right I was looking for one with a good quality Lug etc. | 08:58 |
| ebel | IME one advantage of universities is that there are local computer/internet societies so you can do linuxy things | 08:58 |
| czajkowski | ebel: morning | 08:58 |
| ebel | Depends what you want out of it aswell. | 08:58 |
| czajkowski | so UL has skynet and it's active enough | 08:59 |
| ebel | czajkowski: 'ello. enjoying being back home? :) | 08:59 |
| czajkowski | DCU has redbrick which is large and active | 08:59 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | ebel .. I wanna be chris pirillo. | 08:59 |
| czajkowski | galway has 091 labs | 08:59 |
| czajkowski | dublin is larger and has more options and events and has the hackspace | 08:59 |
| czajkowski | it really depends tbh, also cost I suspect comes into it | 08:59 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | mmm hackspace .., Any other than Dublin ? | 09:00 |
| czajkowski | yes | 09:00 |
| czajkowski | 091 labs galway | 09:00 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | e.g. ? | 09:00 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | oh galway Ok | 09:00 |
| czajkowski | and I think there was milk labs in limerick not sure if they are active | 09:00 |
| ebel | bootlfdhfrsa: there are serveral irish hackerspaces. tog in dublin, 091 labs in galway, milkspace in limerick (I think), nexus in cork | 09:00 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | do they have a website ? | 09:00 |
| czajkowski | and I heard something abour Cork but not sure | 09:00 |
| ebel | think there's one setting up in droghede and/or belfast aswell | 09:00 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | I looked at tog website for a while.. but I'm not into the lockpicking course they were doing, so i moved on. | 09:01 |
| * ebel is a member of tog, there are loads of things in tog, not just lock picking. | 09:02 | |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Oh Ok. great. | 09:02 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | scanning 4 091 labs... | 09:03 |
| czajkowski | also a lab/hackspace is what you make it as well | 09:04 |
| ebel | agreed | 09:04 |
| ebel | re: uni & linux, again, depends what you make of it | 09:05 |
| czajkowski | same with any group | 09:05 |
| czajkowski | ebel: exactly | 09:05 |
| ebel | you can do a lot in linux without uni, and you can go to uni and do no linux. | 09:05 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | http://091labs.com/ looks good. | 09:05 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | surprised its not a .ORG | 09:05 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | I was wondering how 091labs.com/wiki/ qualifies as a wiki... as I cannot make changes to it. | 09:06 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | & there's no 'talk' page .. but I 'm ok with it. | 09:06 |
| ebel | bootlfdhfrsa: some of these wikis are for members only | 09:07 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | mmm OK | 09:08 |
| * bootlfdhfrsa think Kerry needs one. | 09:09 | |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Can you do computing @ Tralee ? | 09:09 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | ** Tralee (ITT) | 09:10 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | scanning for ITT stuff.. | 09:11 |
| czajkowski | yes I'm sure you can | 09:11 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | mmm 3,500 students .. bit small for /the action/ | 09:13 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Anyone listening to 96FM today ? | 09:14 |
| czajkowski | nope working away here :) | 09:16 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Work (?) ... there's a word . | 09:17 |
| ebel | ditto, at work too | 09:18 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Where as I am in internet-land. | 09:19 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | ebel, Is there an open source summit in Ireland at all ? | 11:22 |
| czajkowski | bootlfdhfrsa: different events not a summit as such | 11:22 |
| tdr112 | bootlfdhfrsa: I think think there is a summit event | 11:22 |
| tdr112 | dont | 11:22 |
| czajkowski | we just had skycon 130 people | 11:22 |
| tdr112 | * | 11:22 |
| czajkowski | there is also pycon | 11:22 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | is pycon in galway ? | 11:23 |
| czajkowski | and tdr112 is invlved in the dublin hackspace so they run lots of events | 11:23 |
| czajkowski | nope dublin I think | 11:23 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | scanning 4 pycon/ireland. | 11:23 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | ... It looks a bit messy .. I think I'd prefer the galway meetups. | 11:27 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | Ireland desperately needs an open source event .. I cant even think of one in Europe to compare to the one in Oregon. | 11:29 |
| czajkowski | FOSDEM | 11:29 |
| czajkowski | 5K geeks | 11:29 |
| czajkowski | 300 talks | 11:29 |
| czajkowski | key signing | 11:29 |
| czajkowski | LPI exams | 11:29 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | been there. | 11:29 |
| zmoylan | and there's hackerspaces in a few places around ireland now. http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Ireland | 11:29 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | I found FOSDEM to be far too developer-centic .. where is the event for the average user ? | 11:30 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | *major event* | 11:31 |
| zmoylan | define average user? | 11:32 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | i.e. The average END-user .. | 11:33 |
| czajkowski | bootlfdhfrsa: eh not really | 11:33 |
| zmoylan | a very nebulous term | 11:33 |
| czajkowski | not at all if you find there is not one talk for you outta over 300 there is something wrong | 11:33 |
| czajkowski | it caters for all levels | 11:33 |
| czajkowski | hell you can sit in the lightning talk room and just hear all sorts all day long | 11:33 |
| czajkowski | or go to the distro rooms like mozilla and hear debates or disucssions on community | 11:33 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | czajkowski, True, but as I have to take a flight to get there, I think that my time would be better going West than East, and go to one of the american FOSS conferences next time . IMHO. | 11:35 |
| tdr112 | bootlfdhfrsa: i dont think there is demand for a big end user open source event | 11:36 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | anyway, FOSDEM was snowing last year ... and I hate snow. | 11:36 |
| thethomaseffect_ | There's a python night in 091 labs galway tonight at 8pm fyi :) | 11:36 |
| zmoylan | a bit developery? :-) | 11:37 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | thethomaseffect, Thanx, I make it my waypoint in the coming months. | 11:37 |
| czajkowski | bootlfdhfrsa: true, each to their own, I prefer to support EU events. | 11:39 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | mmmh .. An 'open source big public event that isn't too cold' [?] ... I'll ask/email Chris Pirillo. | 11:39 |
| thethomaseffect | It's not too developer-y as you say, galway hackerspace peeps are very friendly :) | 11:41 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | tdr112, Which is kinda the reason I'm in this chatroom, right ? | 11:48 |
| tdr112 | bootlfdhfrsa: I dont understand you, you want to run an event ? | 13:26 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | tdr112, I already AM runing a monthly event ... Just saying it would be nice to do an annual event for people to travel to, In Ireland like OSCON | 13:38 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | I think the Irish Government could greatly benefit from seeing GNU + Opensource in Action. | 13:40 |
| bootlfdhfrsa | aswell as the business community at large. | 13:40 |
| ebel | Yep. | 13:59 |
| ebel | You new to Ireland? | 13:59 |
| tdr112 | what event are you running at the meoment | 14:17 |
| tdr112 | moment | 14:17 |
| czajkowski | http://isatechbrew.eventbrite.ie/ dublin flks | 14:53 |
| airurando | I see tdr112 and czajkowski make cameo appearances in oggcamp-interactive documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K15PIGuiLKw | 18:32 |
| airurando | looking good people! | 18:32 |
