If you want to set up a corner for your group please do so. The more the merrier.

Internet

You need to have signed up to have Internet access on the day via Enterprise Ireland's network prior to 12pm Thursday 11th of March
Some activities are blocked as it is a secured network
1. ssh and irc are not available
2. Installing software on Ubuntu using apt-get works fine
3. You can tweet to your hearts content over the web!

Things to bring

You'll need to bring your own computer (we'd love to give ya one but not everything in life is free )
We'd really appreciate it if you bring a multi-plug power adapter/extension chord to help make more power points available on the day

Parking

Follow signs for the multideck car park (the road will bring you around the EI office) then turn left in under the building, basement car park. Bikes are welcome

Food

Even though we can't promise actual jam on the day, there will be lunch - kindly provided by Microsoft. So you can leave your hang n cheese sandwiches at home! And you thought there was no such thing as a Free Lunch…
