Hi all,
sorry about lack of contact over last while but I started a new job
and was quite busy. The new job is, however, as a Project Coordinator
for Dublin City of Science 2012. Dublin will host the Euroscience Open
Forum (ESOF) in July 2012 and is currently seeking calls for proposals
for talks to be held at the 5-day conference.
http://www.dublinscience2012.ie/calls
Deadline for proposals is June 30th 2011.
We will also be hosting a lot of outreach events over the next year
and I definitely think Wikimedia should get involved in some way -
either by presenting a talk or hosting in some outreach events. Do we
have anyone confident enough to speak about Wikimedia's activities and
goals on board? Maybe a how-to-edit master-class? Ideas are welcome.
Anyone from England (and worldwide) is welcome too.
I hope Wikimedia can collaborate in some way,
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Conor.
p.s. my name is Conor Dowdall ... Conor Wao is just an online profile!
Want to know more about web science, and the research going on right here in
Galway?
You're very welcome to attend the DERI Open Day! Wednesday 6th April 2011,
10:30 -17.30. Register online:
http://www.deri.ie/about/deri-open-day/
If you can only spare 30 minutes, I'd particularly recommend the semantic
desktop/social semantic talk (given in part by my own advisor):
12:35 - 13:05 Creating Knowledge Together: Semantic Collaboration Dr.
Siegfried Handschuh, Dr. Alexandre Passant
Hope to see some of you on the day!
-Jodi
I think the Euroscience Open Forum would be an interesting event to participate in. Anybody thinking about it further?
One angle would be a session on citizen science -- potentially also relevant to the Irish hackerspaces (Tog/091labs folks -- can somebody forward to Milk Limerick and Cork folks?)

Hi folks - sorry to send this media inquiry through the rather unorthodox approach of sending to a list, but I thought it might be efficient (and I thought Mike have some advice in terms of the better person to forward to).
This is a voice mail from an Irish reporter. Would anyone in the Irish chapter/group area be interested in responding.
Thanks,
jay
