How was Firefox 3 Release Party in Dublin?

Last Thursday [19.06.2008] I went to the Firefox 3 Release Party in Cineworld, Dublin. I’ve been using Firefox for a good few years now, so I joined the celebration of the new release. Before the party I’ve seen on the website that around 300 people registered for it. Honestly, there were never than many there. Well, maybe they just dropped in for a little while and went. The free Tiger beer vanished very quickly.
This event was held after the end of the second day of the Irish Open Source Technology Conference (IOTC).

Here’s what it looked like:

ubuntu-ie gets an office space!

Yay! Great news everyone! Irish Ubuntu Community got an office space at Camara.

Camara is an Irish Charity. They take in second hand computers that have been discarded by Irish Organisations and individuals, refurbish them, install customized version of edubuntu (camarabuntu) and send them to schools and colleges in Africa.

ubuntu-ie has decided to work closely with Camara, and we were offered an office space for our LoCo meet-ups and future events like: workshops, presentations, tutorials etc. Big thanks for that goes to Eoghan at Camara!

Either you have an ubuntu related problem, want to know/learn more about ubuntu or just want to have a chat, you’re very welcome to call in! We’re open on Saturdays 11am – 4pm. We also encourage you to contribute to Camara project.
