I guess I was more or less looking to gauge some interest in the event, if however everyone is comfortable with it being open to anyone in Ireland in the industry as opposed to just this forum I could really use some help in terms of letting all the relevant people know.

Richard's idea regarding his website / blog is great since I believe he has an active audience.

If others can help promote the event and let the relevant people know, I'd be happy to research an appropriate venue and time and possibly book a venue if need be.

Also how formal do we want this to be? I was thinking of a relatively casual event, but if others want some structure to the event be sure to let us know.

Cheers
Gavin.

Clothing optional?

Well I think the best thing to do from here is to get an idea of numbers attending.

If you are planning on attending (dates not set yet), or at least have a strong interest in attending, could I ask that you PM me? That way I can get an idea of numbers wanting to attend.

Maybe best if people just say here so everyone has an idea of numbers. I definitely be up for going if I get a nice bit of notice (have to come from London but I could plan other things round it)

I remember meeting allot of people here at openbeers last year Naive by Design | Announcing The First OpenBeer Club: Dublin, 28 April 2007

Something similar to that would be great as that really good. I'm sure most people would blog about it to get word out.

I know (TechLudd rebranded as) SalonTechnica.com and Web 2.0 Ireland (together now? anyone know?) are planing something around the end of Jan. Maybe try to coincide?

I would also be interested.

The openbeer last year was excellent but I think this time round I'll lay off the beer, I cant remember leaving the last one.

Well I haven't set a date yet because I wanted to get an idea of numbers first and see what the general interest is. I'd say it would be a good idea to give at least 3 - 4 weeks notice so that everyone has time to prepare and make arrangements.

So far I have had two send me a PM and the rest reply to the thread.
