Archives for “BarCamp”

A lot of events…

The biggest date for most people in the Irish blogosphere in the coming weeks won’t be Mother’s Day. It will, of course, be the Irish Blog Awards held on March 1st in the Alexander Hotel in Dublin. Before that, under the umbrella of IWTC, will be the inaugural Ireland Geek Girl Dinner, organised by Martha Rotter [...]


BarCamp Galway – Sat 22nd Sep

Firstly, I won’t be going as I’ll be on honeymoon. With BarCamp Galway less than a month away, the usual blogstorm has broken out about how to make BarCamp better, how to break the cliqué-ness of it, how to avoid wikis, make sign up easier, all the usual stuff that we’ve heard at each one since [...]


Jetlag, Blog Awards and Updates…

As I’ve said in a few other posts, I was attending meetings in the Phoenix area of Arizona last week. Although we were in solid meetings all day from 8am – 5pm (and sometimes later), I was still able to get out and about seeing old friends and shopping. I have a huge amount of thoughts [...]


BarCamp Dublin is go!

This is a copy of a post that I just loaded up over at the BarCamp Dublin blog. Remember to head over and subscribe to the RSS to keep up to date with our updates. ——————————————————————————– Following the success of the first two Irish BarCamps in Cork and Waterford, we are pleased to announce that BarCamp [...]


I’ve been meaning to load up my presentation that I gave at BarCamp a few weeks ago, but it kept slipping my mind. I had a decent turnout, made harder that I was running against one of the more popular panel session! My session really did pose more questions than it answered, and one of [...]


BarCamp SE – Pecha Kucha

Now that the secret of the Pecha Kucha session is out in the wild (or ‘Pikachu’ as Laura kept referring to it!), I thought I’d post up a few notes and links to the sites I talked about. Everyone else that spoke used del.icio.us for their links, and although I tried using it at [...]


Damien has a great article in the Tribune this weekend about BarCamp, the new tech bubble and VC. Go read it!


BarCamp SouthEast is taking place in Waterford on Saturday 20th January. If you want to attend, then please sign up on the wiki, or send your name to barcampsoutheast at gmail dot com. You can also follow the planning on the blog. We’ll be heading down on the Saturday morning and staying [...]


Just a quick post to say a massive “Thanks” to Conor, Walter and Damien for organising a phenomenal BarCamp down in Cork on Saturday… All the blog press since the even seems to be very positive, and I can’t wait to get another one of these events organised, hopefully in Dublin next time. Thanks to George [...]


BarCampIreland 12:00 noon

Session 4 and listening to Bernie Goldbach talk about how he dropped 35,000 on a failed startup. George is off finding out how to get Venture Capital, I’m now trying to find out how he would keep it once he got it!!! He makes some very interesting points: You need to watch for the ‘red lights’ [...]


BarCampIreland 11:00am

Third round of talks and I’ve gone for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) while George went to hear about WLAN for sheltered housing projects. Both fascinating topics, but you gotta make a decision! Eoghan McCabe has an excellent knowledge of white and black hat techniques for raising your page ranking.. This is something that I [...]


BarCampIreland 10:30am

Second talk under way and I stayed in the Atrium to hear Sabrina Dent talking about “Making Money in Second Life”, while George went off to hear about microformats and OPML. I hadn’t even realised that the game existed until the last couple of weeks when I heard about it on the talk list. It’s [...]


BarCampIreland 10:00am

Well it’s 10am and here we go for the first BarCampIreland… Conor welcomes the already sizeable crowd and explains the format of the day. The agenda is filling up fast and we seem to have talks going in 2 rooms for most of the slots today. First up is Simon McGarr talking about “Digital [...]


4 days to go…

until BarCamp Ireland in Cork… Really looking forward to it at this point, especially as it means a half day off work and a weekend away for me! The list of attendees is up over 100 now, and there’s a great mix going to be attending – however, from a quick straw poll, only 10% of attendees [...]


BarCamp Ireland…

Really looking forward to heading to Barcamp Ireland at the end of this month… Hate doing the drive to Cork, but the Hubbie and myself decided to make a weekend of it. After a failed attempt to book a room in the Clarion hotel, I managed to get us into Isaac’s Hotel, which [...]
