[keith at clubheadbangbang.org]

hey Robert,

If your are looking for space/home of the lab it might be worth checking out
Seomra Spraoi. They have run tech workshops before, so there might be some
common ground.

Not too sure since the resent move but in the previous location the had some
computers running linux.

> Irish pubs are world renowned for there ability to lubricate and

> The solution to this problem is a Hackerspace [1].  Basically a
> Hackerspace is a physical place where people can meet and work together
> on projects.
>
> All of us have had at least one little project we've wanted to work on,
> but haven't had the place, time, knowledge, equipment or money to do it.
> A Hackerspace and it's members provide a suitable place and resources
> for these and various other projects to be worked on collaboratively.
> Whether the project is technical, practical, artistic or a combination,
> everything is fair game.
>
> Having talked about this for a while, seen and read about the successful
> Hackerspaces [2] around the world.  I'm now working on building a
> Hackerspace for Dublin called TOG [3].

> If your also interested in helping to build a Hackerspace in Dublin,
> join me on Thursday the 29th of January at 7pm in the lobby bar of the
> Alexandre Hotel [4] on Fenian Street near the Merrion Square.

> Thanks.
