Rod, I'm ust back from 'Not the Linuxworld Ireland' in Dublin last
weekend.
The 'official' Linuxword Ireland was cancelled, due to the current
world situation and companies pulling out.
But word went around, especially on the Linux Beer Hike list.
Many people sad 'what the heck - I've booked the tickets or
the time off and I'm going'.
so we had a grass roots event instead - and it was marvellous.
I think about 50 or more people turned up, from all over Europe
as well as Ireland.
I'm not sure when the 'official' event started/ended, but there were many
pub visits, and piss-up was organised in a brewery.
Alan Cox gave a talk in Trinity College on the Saturday morning,
and we followed on by a pub session and a BoF on clustering
and Grid computing.
Tux was spotted drinking stout in Messrs. Macguire.

Sunday mornign was 'Distro Wars' wit a paintball match between
RedHat and all comers (I didn't go to this one).
All in all a great weekend - and for me confirming that all you
need is enthusiasm and a bunch of geeks to put on a good event.
I'm told the official evet is being rescheduled for April -
so put the date in your diaries, I bet it will be a good one.
