Not certain if there's been crossed wires on this, but I'm Irish, live in Dublin and have family in Cork, so I don't really have expenses as such connected with a meetup in either place :) Regarding the meetup itself, 4th September won't work for me as I'll be away, and the 11th is looking unlikely to work out due to a disaster recovery simulation at work, but most Saturdays after that should be fine.

I remain available as a media contact and am still (quite heavily) active on OTRS, but I don't think I would be much good with a Q&A on Wikimedia UK, as I am but an inactive member thereof :)
