This Week in Tech
January 29th, 2008
Really did not ever think I would see the day we would have one technology related event in Belfast. This week, there are three...
OpenCoffee Club
Tonight the Belfast OpenCoffee Club is meeting at AM:PM on Upper Arthur Street at 6pm. I'll be heading for food at about 5pm if anyone wants to join me for some very affordable and tasty grub. Here's a map if you're lost.
New Ways To Create Revenue Online | The Broadband Content Opportunity
What a mouthful. Organised by a new? body crea8ivity. Looking forward to attending one of the first big tech events in Northern Ireland and seeing what kind of state the industry is in up here, there have been very few opportunities to really gauge it but I'm going to have to go with corporate mire. Sad but true, Dublin is light years ahead of Belfast in terms of people and their attitudes. I'm really hoping I'm guessing wrong and it isn't a den of "snake-oil salesmen" as Eoghan alluded to in his recent (finally!) blog post.
This is on tomorrow night 30th January, 5pm at the Innovation Centre at the Northern Ireland Science Park.
Open Island Conference
A one day conference on open source software, the programme seems quite vague from looking at it but should hopefully be quite interesting. This is on all day Friday at the Spires centre in Belfast.
See you there!

We'll be sick of each other by the end of the week.

Be great to meet another few developers / designers working in Belfast - just moved up from Dublin - I'll try make it along.

Agree about Dublin being so far ahead. But look at it this way, we have some great growth potential! Is the glass half full? ;-)

Gareth, haha. Time will tell.
John, would be good to meet you indeed!
Darryl, the glass is always half full. I'm all about trying to bring the spirit of Dublin up north.

Ah, they're full and I was still deciding whether or not to go. That's made my decision for me!
