The Dublin Hackerspace
A lot of work is going on preparing a series of events for Hackerspace Week
A sneak speak of the current schedule is here:
All events have been added to our normal calander but sometimes it’s nice to see it all in one place.
We also have two great soldering workshops going on. Links on the schedule. Book early!
Once again, the last R workshop turned out to be very popular and Kevin kindly agreed to teach another one! If you missed out on the last one, here’s your chance.
Since its inception, R has become one of the preeminent programs for statistical computing and data analysis. The ready availability of R, along with a wide variety of associated packages, marks it as an excellent choice for a multitude of computing tasks related to statistics and data science.
The workshop will introduce delegates to computing in the R environment; including data objects, basic calculations and using help, then progressing to some of the core features of R: vectorization, subscripting, and the some of the functions in R that are provided for common data management tasks.
As the workshop is intended to complement forthcoming Coursera statistics classes, very little statistical knowledge is expected.
The class will also include a short presentation from a developer who uses R professionally.
When? Saturday, September 29th, from 10:30 till around 15:30 (with breaks!)
Cost: €8 for non-members, free for members
Please use the form below the cut to sign up. Updated to add: we’re full! You can still sign up to be added to the waiting list.
We are delighted that two of our members have been accepted to showcase their projects at next months World Maker Faire. Jeffrey and Robert will be bringing along projects they have worked on and a duck or two.
World Maker Faire is very like our own Dublin Mini Maker Faire but on steroids with over 500 makers. It takes place on the 29th & 30th of September in New York. If you in the area drop by and say hello.
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.
Watch this space.

Fast internet has always been important at TOG. Our internet speed has been upgraded from 8Mb to 20Mb, now also allowing for truly unlimited downloads.
As part of the changes we also changed landline number. If the space is open, before dropping in during the day, the landline can be used to check if it’s going to close shortly. Our new number is 076-6035359 or you can call us for free via a SIP phone device sip:togtogtog@87.198.25.1:60773 or blueface ext: 39367
