Ubuntu Hour, Dublin, July 2011

So an Ubuntu Hour was called to coincide with Laura Czajkowski been back in Dublin.

A good turn out in the Trinity Hotel chosen for their free wifi which always helps.  Also a nice quiet location so you can hear yourself think.  And there was no need for a tv-b gone though it was nice to see somebody came equipped. :-)

Will be interesting to see if people manage to get ubuntu into their work places to replace windows.  Even one or two systems adds to the overall linux presence and another foothold.  I've found that it is hard to remove linux once it has gained a foothold.  Which is why I encourage it everywhere!

And I loved to see the mobile technology that people use and android has really captured the geeky market.  I don't remember seeing anything other than android in use.  And thanks to Julie for her qr code business cards which were fun for a few minutes to see how the various devices handled virtual business cards with varying success.

If you have any pics of the event add a link in the comments and I'll make sure they get added to the Ubuntu IE pix.ie account.
