After a bit of tooing and froing, we’ve decided to have no official place for food after BarCamp, it’s just too awkward to arrange for that many people. There are tons of good places to eat in the city centre and I’m sure groups of you can organise yourselves.
However, the final destination of the evening [...]

The cool guys at Roomex.com have just become our latest sponsors by giving us a bunch of discounts for Cork hotels in their system. Keep a close eye over the next 24hrs as they mentioned there will be more discounts by tomorrow.

A few of us have been bouncing around the idea of building a web application in one day for the past few months. BarCamp seems like the ideal opportunity to try this.

Bartosz Ptaszynski will be running a tutorial session on the Python Web Framework Django. It is aimed at anyone who wants to get a feel for what these frameworks are all about and how they can help you.

We don’t want to sound negative about this but it’s important. [...]

Will Knott is doing a session on Twitter at BarCamp.

To help with this, he’d really appreciate it if you could fill out a very simple 4 question survey.

Rather than have everyone scatter to the four winds after BarCamp we’ve decided to have a sit-down meal followed by some drinks. I’ve heard many good things about the Eastern Tandoori over the years so I’d like to suggest that. Please let us know in the comments if you’d like to attend. Once we know [...]
