The Dublin Hackerspace
Artek Circle is a new event to get designers, artists and engineers working together in new and integrated ways. The idea is for the participants to create new work / objects that is more that the sum of its parts though collaboration with each other.
The event is over two days from the 10th-11th May 2014, in the Project Arts Centre, Temple bar. We are delighted to be hosting the late night hack session of the event. For more information and sign up check out http://artekcircle.com/
We are proud to be taking part in the inaugural Tech Week, which hopes to encourage young people to enter technology professions. We will be holding a night of short talks. each speaker is limited to just fifteen minutes to convey their idea, story or insight on a part of technology. The event is free for anyone to come along, no need to book.
Date: Thursday 1st May
Time: 19.00
Cost: Free
Sign Up: None. Just turn up.

Speaker – Rory McCann
Title – Introduction to Open Source
Why do programmers give away their software for everyone to use for free? What is Open Source / Free Software? Where did it come from, and how does it work?

Placed presents work from members of the TOG Dublin Hackerspace photography group. Led by visual artist Sinead McDonald, the course offers an opportunity for creative members of the public to engage with each other on a critical level over the course of 10 weeks, working through concepts and methodology, editing down images, post production, printing / framing / installation-based techniques etc, and culminating in a city centre gallery exhibition.
Placed will open on Friday 25th of April, 7-9pm at Hendrons Collider (see map), and will run Sat 26th and Sun 27th 12-6pm

TOG is hosting an OpenStreetMap hack day/meet up/barcamp! OSM members will meet up in Dublin and do open street mappy stuff on laptops in TOG. Like an indoor mapping party / hack day / social meet up / barcamp.
OpenStreetMap is a world wide, open content map. It’s Wikipedia meets Google Maps.
If you’d like to learn more about OpenStreetMap, come along! Want to start mapping your local area, and want help? Come along! Want to find out how to use the low level OpenStreetMap data? Come along! This event is open to all, TOG members, non-TOG-members, general public, hardcore OSM mappers, and OSM newbies.
If you’re an OSM mapper and would like come, but not sure what to do, don’t worry we have loads of townlands to map. 🙂
The event is scheduled to run from 12noon until about 6pm on Saturday 8th March 2014. However there is not a fixed schedule so feel free to drop in or out whenever you want.
There is no charge. The event is open to TOG members and memebers of the general public. Rory is the point of contact for the event. We’ll probably go for some beers or something that evening. You aren’t required to bring anything, but that will limit what you can do. I’d suggest bringing a laptop or something. TOG has free wifi.
TOG has hosted a mapping party and held talks about OSM. TOG itself has been mapped on OSM for years, and when we moved to new premesis, the location was updated. 🙂
