TOG will host a night of inspiring talks. Each speaker will only have 15 minutes to convey to you their passion and enthusiasm on a given subject, idea or project. With six talks on the night you will be introduced to a diverse range of subjects.
The Irish Linux User Group (ILUG) will have their AGM in TOG on Sunday 24th from 3pm. The format of the event will be a number of interesting talks followed by a short AGM. The event is open to anyone and free. And for those who are new to or completely inexperienced in Linux: Be not afraid! The event is open to all.
Ever wonder what goes into making a computer game? Well, we have a night of talks to suit you!

TOG is delighted to be hosting the Ubuntu-ie community as they celebrate the upcoming release of Quantal Quetzal. Ubuntu 12.10 will be released on the 18th October 2012, and the party to celebrate will coincide with our usual Open Social night on Saturday, 20th October.
On the night there will be a number of demo machines set-up showing the latest offering, and members of the Ubuntu-ie community will be available to answer any questions you might have.
But of course it’s also our normal Open Social night so feel free to drop by see the space, chat to TOG members and share some food and drink. It promises to be a good night.
This year Irish Hackerspaces Week falls between September 15th – 23rd. This gives hackerspaces around Ireland a chance to expand their reach in to the local community.
TOG has already started to get events ready for this week. Sept 15th and 16th is the Synchronous Hackathon weekend which is a great weekend to get people aware of that can happen in a hackerspace. Our usual Open Social is on the 15th to kick off the whole weekend. We also have a yearly quiz on the last weekend ( Saturday 22nd ), and get all the hackerspaces together via audio/video link with questions dished out by our very own TOG Quiz Master.
Apart from those weekend activities, during the week we are planning electronics and craft activities, a night of short talks on various topics and a Gastro Night, discussing food science and beer brewing 🙂
As the calendar for this week comes together we will be posting a schedule for all to see.
Hello again Crafters! It’s been a long year, many projects were started, a few even finished, and it’s always good to see your toil pay off. So we at tog reckon it’s time for a Craft Night reward. The next Craft Night (Tuesday, 13th) will be a special cookies and sugarcraft night! We’ll be baking cookies, icing them, and someone even mentioned hot chocolate 🙂
If that’s not your thing don’t worry, it will be a regular Craft Night too, just with added sugar-fueled giddiness from the kitchen! The sugary rewards are available to anyone on the night doing any craft. And it’s also the last Craft Night of the year (to begin again in January), so why not? Come along, have some fun 😀
