The Dublin Hackerspace
We are delighted to host Sean Duggan and a secure coding workshop using a the CTF framework Security Shepherd. This workshop is free and available for players of all skills. The workshop will include a presentation at the start, followed by a series of challenges to get through. Participants will require a laptop with WiFi and a modern web browser. There will be pizza.
Some of us have travel across the seas to visit the 33rd annual Chaos Communication Congress (33C3). It’s a four days of total hacker fun. Filled with talks, workshops and many a good time.
If you are at Congress be sure to drop by the Irish Embassy and Tog Assembly. If you can’t make it along in person you can watch it all live streamed over the internet. -> https://streaming.media.ccc.de/33c3
Check out the sign Tdr made for the occasion. 3 sheets of 3mm plywood glued together. For photos of the build check out our gallery.
An introductory workshop where one could learn the possibilities and try out projection mapping with the Raspberry Pi. A full stack setup cycle demo will be presented. The following will be covered in a run-through manner.
The Raspberry Pi mini-computer is the perfect choice when one has to create a permanent projection mapping installation. OpenFrameworks makes it possible to create almost any kind of generative, data-driven or interactive applications that run on the Raspberry Pi and with the help of the ofxPiMapper it is also possible to projection map them.
Projection mapping is the art of texturing real-life objects by using a digital projector and specialised computer software.
Krisjanis Rijnieks (http://rijnieks.com) works with creative coding, projection mapping and digital fabrication. He is developing the ofxPiMapper projection mapping addon for the openFrameworks creative coding toolkit, and using it in his own projects. He holds an MA in art and design from the Media Lab Helsinki and is the author of the book Cinder–Begin Creative Coding.
The workshop is a part of the Creative Museum project and in collaboration with the Chester Beatty Library.

By now, you’ll probably know that we hold a regular Open Social evening on a Saturday in the middle of each month. November will be no different. We’ll be doing it on Saturday 19th November. This month however, there’ll be a bit of a twist!
We’ll also be hosting Science Hackday Dublin that weekend, so the space will be very busy. You’ll get to see up to 100 makers, up to all sorts of making antics, just for the pure hell of it!
If you’ve never been to our Social, you’ll find it a great alternative Saturday evening in town. Come in and look around. If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things you’d like to do. Ask about our regular craft evening, which has just restarted. See what the Science Hackday participants are up to. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Either way, we’re always interested to know what has drawn you to our door.
Hopefully there’ll be, caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. The evening is free to attend for members and visitors alike. No need to book…. just turn up. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets! Our doors are open from 7PM. Hope to see you there.

Science Hac
k Day Dublin is a 36 hour hardware and software hackathon. A social event with creativity and love of science at its heart. Each year it brings together coders, designers, scientists, engineers and makers simply to make interesting things. Why? For adventure, for playfulness, for science! The event takes place on the 19th & 20th November.
This year we are super proud to be hosting the event in our own space. We have been helping out since the very first Science Hack Day many years ago. We are excited to offer a big range of tools and experience to all the participants. Now entering its 5th year, its the best community hackathon around.
Visit the Science Hack Day website for tickets.
This time of year is important for us. It marks one year since we made the big move from Chancery Lane to Blackpitts, and the formation of our new TOG Hackerspace DAC. So we’re having a bit of a celebration…… outside the space for a change.
Join us upstairs in the Long Stone pub on Friday 11th November in Townsend St from 7PM, for a bit of a get-together and craic. All welcome. There are very strong rumors of cake!
