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.
Address:
The Digital Hub
10-13 Thomas Street
Dublin 8
Ireland
Hope to see you there!
