Hi Conor,
I definitely feel a face-to-face meet up (even one including a Skype element
for those who can't attend) would be worthwhile. I think there is some
spirit that people want to do something but it's hard for that desire to
formulate into something concrete without actual human contact.
Some ideas:
- a Dublin meet up with a Skype for those who can't attend
- a several co-ordinated smaller meet ups around the country (e.g. Cork,
Galway, Dublin) that could join up together through a Skype video conference
There have been some good ideas thrown around for what a Wikimedia Ireland
could do and it's a pity we can't get the traction that we want. We could
discuss some of these ideas and see they match any of our interests.
Regards,
Oliver

Well, it seems we have two possible experienced

only, I believe. It might be enough to pull off something but the
conference actually kicks off on a Wednesday for 5 days, so it might
not exactly work.
If Wikimedia Ireland is to take off, we probably need to meet up and
it seems difficult to get together from across the country for a
meet-up that might go nowhere. Do any of you use Google+? Or Google
voice and video chat? These might be some options to bring us closer
together. Obviously our work and personal lives are very demanding of
our time so if we are committed to it, we might need a different tack.
I'm not sure I can express my motivation for being part of this - in
summary I suppose I just really respect Wikimedia and it's goals.
Perhaps we need a specific project to work on or some set goals to
achieve. What could a Wikimedia Ireland do for us as individuals and
what can we do for it?
Conor.

Let me know if this goes ahead or if you need any help.
Any progress on this? Is anyone interested on working on this?
