And I'm sure he'll say it himself but the nomination and award was for him on behalf of IOFFL - i.e all the committee and activists involved.

BTW Who won the other awards?

spongebob

except they won't invite all of IoffL to the pish-up so Dave just shoulders the burden.....sigh.....

Does the whole CommiTTee get a free table/ gargle/ nosebag tonight? Its well deserved.

Congrats Dave!!

Does the whole CommiTTee get a free table/ gargle/ nosebag tonight?
I don't think so - the gig was at lunch time today and Mary Hannifin was scheduled to hand out the awards. Should have imprinted the importance of IOFFL on her mind.
Still - anyone who goes to the beer tomorrow afternoon gets to join in the celebration.

Excellent stuff Dave.

In the past year in particular you've really shown a committment that we might never see surpassed on the issue of Internet Access in Ireland.

The ordinary internet users of ireland owe Yourself and the new committee who have taken on the mantle a huge debt of gratitude, far beyond anything the IIA might confer you with

Bask in your (collective) glories

Regards,
David

"...I'd like to thank my spiritual advisor, my yoga trainer, my off-shore accountant...."

Well done. Just to add, over the last two days I've been listening to discusion about the governments Spatial Plan thingy on the radio and broadband as been mentioned several times without anyone asking "wha?" That is testament to your work.

Mike.

Agreed. Everyone gets a share of this one. Gerry Mander? Can't say I know the man, officer.

Hats off to ye, Dave. You're a credit to us.

Dangger

Wow! I thought the result was low ley !

Where's the leak?

I'm sitting here in front the award. It reads: (its engraved with)

"Definition of Social Contribution:
Social: having to do with society and its organisation.

Contribute: give something in order to help an undertaking or effort / noun: contribution

(Oxford English Dictionary)

It's recognition for the IrelandOffline crew past and present.

It really means a lot to us (the IOFFL committee), and it would not have been possible without the IOFFL members. THANK YOU!!


Thanks for your support, good wishes and assistance!!!!!!

It's far from over,
we've still along way to go,
In the mean time I'm off to the snow!

Paddy20

Will there be, or is there already a "Link" to the official list of all the IIA Award winners in all categories?, please.

Paddy20:)

Well done to IrelandOffLine! It's worth more than you know when a government minister hands you a plaque thanking you for contributing to the Internet. The British press watched that happen and The Guardian was asking for background info on the campaign. A guy from The Sunday Times asked me if I knew whether this forum was syndicating over RSS because they're interested in watching for a follow-up line. I made a few mobile web log
(moblog) entries during the event.

Paddy20

Has the IOFFLL Committee, considered issuing a - Press/All Media - release on this wonderful "NEWS" ??...

Just my 2cs worth.

Best wishes.

Paddy20;)

With three of Ireland's key journos on the floor (d'Arcy, Smyth and Weckler), three people from ElectricNews in the audience, and accredited journos from two UK titles observing the proceedings, it would've been good to target the attending reporters as well as to have a pre-arranged press release. I think you'll see follow-on coverage as early as Sunday.

Thorbar

Well done dave and IOFFL bout time someone gave ye credit for the all the effort you've put in.

Dangger
