Clodagh Kelly is going surfing on Sunday morning. Chat to her at BarCamp if you are interested in taking part. It looks like it’ll be at Garrettstown.

Cork based TV and Video production company StormVids will be scooting and shooting throughout the day.
Look out for their vids a few days later, all set to embed in your blogs and put on Facebook. I had a great chat with them last week and it’ll be fantastic to see some high-quality footage of BarCamp.

A big thank you to Pat Phelan of Cubic Telecom for sponsoring the lunch at BarCamp. The ice-swans and champagne fountains have been ordered. But seriously, Pat has been a fantastic supporter of of the tech community and many of us are in his debt.
