Hope you all have an amazing day and shake things up a bit!
Sorry I can’t make it this time. Next time I promise.
If you are in Dublin today, head on over to the Digital Hub to see the future of conferences.

Haydn has offered up some quite controversial opinions on where many Irish web companies should put their energies and also what the BarCampDublin focus should be. It’s something I’d like to see argued from both points of view so please head over to Mediangler and offer your thoughts.

Elly and the gang have been hard at work putting together BarCamp Dublin and it looks like a winner. This is the third one after Cork and Waterford and I love the look of the speaker line-up. If you are free at all on Saturday week I’d encourage you to head over. Do sign-up so [...]

Keith has uploaded videos of the “Finding money for your start-up” session. I enjoyed the differing views of the panel on this topic but anyone who thought they’d come away with “so that’s how I do it” would have been disappointed. There should definitely be a follow-up session at BarCamp Dublin with a focus on [...]

I was very open about what we’re up to in LouderVoice at BarcampIreland South East on Saturday and I’m pretty sure it was videoed so there is no point in remaining coy. We’ll update the main sign-up page with more information and I’ll blog it over at the LouderVoice blog later today.

I compressed them a lot to reduce upload time on ADSL but the sound quality is ok.
The first segment is all about Wordpress itself:

The second has more on Wordpress but also a lot on working in a global virtual team and working from home:

Both well worth viewing.

I can honestly say that I didn’t attend one bad talk in the entire day but there were a few which really did make the conference for me. I also missed a bunch of great ones, a few of which were videoed so I can check them out today.
Mark Twomey’s presentation on Data Retention was [...]

We are really excited with the energy that is building around the first BarCampIreland. At one point we wondered if we’d get 40 people turning up. It is now at 103 with everyone from college students to technology gurus to VCs signed up. This mix is critical to having a rich and varied day for [...]

Phil Haack (greatest ever surname for a geek), has proposed some improvements to the XFN microformat including the most excellent fReNd-4-eVA.
He thinks he has serious issues with worrying about whether to mark someone as a friend or an acquaintance. What if you use “friend” but they use “acquaintance”? Rest assured that I have struggled with [...]
