There has been a number of OpenData events in Ireland in the last 6 months or so. I have attended 3 and was spreading the word about OSM at each of them.
This one looks very interesting, and a number of the prime movers in the space will be there. I think there is also going to be an event in Dublin on the 7th November - if that goes ahead I will be there. Also the GIS Ireland 2011 conference takes place tomorrow in Chartered Accountants House on Pearse St. in Dublin. I will be giving a talk on Irish Addressing, but there are a couple of OSM centric talks on the agenda. Regards, Richard 2011/10/10 Matthias Meißer <[email protected]>: > Sounds quiet interesting.
