Wireless networks are everywhere. They have been available to many of us for over 10 years, and the same mistakes of back then are still being made today. Majority of us have a wireless network in our house, and connect to it daily with our laptop, phone, games console, media player and now even televisions.

Science Hack Day brings together designers, developers, scientists, and other geeks in the same physical space for a brief but intense period of collaboration, hacking and building cool stuff.
This year’s Dublin event will take place on 2nd & 3rd March in DCU. A 36 hours hackathon lets people develop ideas into projects with the help of a wide range of people with lots of different skill sets. The event is free and sign up is open to all.
For full information and sign visit the Science Hack Day Dublin Website.
TOG is very pleased to be supporting this event for our second year. We hope to see you there.
Starting in February, Tog will be hosting a monthly open-source evening on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. These hands-on sessions aim to bring together experienced open-source contributors with people who would like to get started but aren’t sure where to start or would generally benefit from having someone to ask questions to. All types of contributions welcome: documentation, code, testing, artwork, translations…
For the first event, we have confirmed participants with varied levels of experience in Gnome, OpenStack, Django, OpenLDAP, OpenWonderland, the P2P django project, AppInventor*. If you’re an experienced contributor interested in attending, feel free to get in touch and get your project(s) added to the list. If you’re an aspiring contributor interested in attending, you can drop me a note too with the projects you’re planning on looking at during the evening.
If the project you’re interested in isn’t mentioned, please come anyway. We can figure out how a project works together. Likewise, people are welcome to come and work on their usual open-source stuff – just be open to the occasional question 🙂 The more people, the merrier!
The first event will be held on Wednesday, February 20th, with Tog opening at 6:30pm and the first talk starting at 7pm.
Every month we will start with a couple of people speaking for 5-10 minutes, to introduce the project they are working on, what is the usual path for contributing and where they are currently looking for help. Then we will form groups and work on making a contribution for the rest of the evening.
* (We have lost a few projects due to the flu – although it’s unfortunate, if you’re interested you can still get in touch with the person who was willing to help)
TOG will be running its first ever bridge building competition. The competition is to build the best bridge out of the materials provided. The competition will have two hours of building and a half an hour of judging. The prize for the over all winner is a raspberry pi. Don’t worry about being a super civil engineer, the event is open to people of all ages and skills levels( Total beginners welcome). Help will be on hand during the day to get you started.
Date: Saturday 23rd February
Time: 14.00 – 16.30

OpenWrt is firmware or software that runs on wireless access points such as those used to provide Wifi to home internet users. Using OpenWrt can increase speed, improve reliability and add extra features. There will be a free Workshop held at TOG on Sunday 16th of December at 3pm. No need to book, just turn up. If possible, but not essential, bring your home router with you.
http://openwrt.org
OpenWrt is an alternative and open source firmware for wireless/ADSL routers.
Quote from there web page:
“Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.”
