In relation to radio contacts, I've had quite amicable contact with Morning Ireland
via Twitter, if that helps.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia IE] 25th September - Kingston Hotel, Dún Laoghaire
Fantastic--I see that somebody has added it to the Meetup page, linking
to:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Ireland#September_25.2C_20…
I don't know the geographic range we'd like to cover. I'm thinking Ireland and
the UK?
Does anybody have newspaper/radio/etc contacts?
Hey Cary--Are you the person to ask about a Facebook notice? Any other ideas for
publicity?
Thanks!-Jodi
PS-I'll be away from email until Wednesday. Happy publicizing!

Hi Jodi,
The first step is to set up a page at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup
I can set up a geonotice on en.wp (and possibly others) if you let me know what you want
saying and the geographical coordinates (long/lat range) to cover. Or you can request it
at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Geonotice
I'm sure that Cary Bass can add it to the Wikipedia Facebook group, which will also
bring in additional people, if you ask him nicely. ;-)
Hope this helps. :-)

Great work, Oliver!
How do we get it listed (by geolocated-adjacent
visitors) on English and Irish wikis (wikipedia and all the rest)?
How else can we promote it? Are there other related
listservs?
Who can promote it to Tog Hackerspace?

Hey all -
In the spirit of Wikipedia, I'm going to be bold
and say let's meet up on the 25th of September. So...
• 1:45pm - Meet in lobby of the Kingston Hotel,
Dún Laoghaire.
• 2:00pm - Lunch in the Kingston Hotel.
• 3:30pm - Private tour of National Maritime
Museum of Ireland, courtesy of Clem McGann.
Clem has been in touch by email and agreed to make the
necessary reservations, etc.
I'll be in the lobby of the Kingston Hotel to meet
people. If you're unsure of who I am, ask at reception for the Wikipedia meet-up.
I'll have identified myself to them.
If you can't find the Kingston Hotel, Clem will
wait at the steeple of the Mariners' Church (the National Maritime Museum), which is
close by but visible from around the town. If you meet him there, Clem will bring you
along to the hotel. Watch out though, Dún Laoghaire also has the steeple of St.
Michael's church. However, St. Michael's can be distinguished from the
Mariners' Church because the main body of the St. Michael's burnt down in the
1960s.
Dún Laoghaire has easy connections to Dublin city
centre by bus and DART as well as mainline rail so it should be reasonably accessible to
all. Clem, when you get back, could you forward suggestions for car parking?
Hope as many as possible can make it,
Oliver Moran
