    @ceret thanks for the words of support.

    @skelliser our next meetup is 7pm Tuesday, March 9th at Galway Bakery Company. They have kindly offered us a reserved upstairs area at the back which means numbers are never a problem. Looking forward to seeing you at a future meetup when you get time.

    Sounds interesting, while I'm a little busy at the moment and can't make the meet up tonight, will be keeping an eye out for your next one. Hopefully can make that.

    @Jiri: have you tried pinging the UL computer society? http://www.skynet.ie/

    I'd be pretty interested in this, seems like a nice idea.

    Living down in limerick at the moment, attending university, but during summers and such I'd like to be active in this kind of thing back in Galway.

    @hk797 thank you for your support, but you don't have to thank me, it is pleasure to create hackerspace and do something which is my hobby.

    @slyph definitely, join us if you like, you are more than welcome. This Wednesday we had the first meeting and we decided to start with Arduino workshop

    @hk797 no, i am not going to that electronics workshop. My soldering station is very heavy to take it with me to the workshop and i am used to work just only with it, you know :-)

    Hey guys, How is the progress with the hacker space? If i was in galway during the week i would attend the meetings.

    I found this event going on in dublin if you are interested.

    http://www.ossbarcamp.com/

    a friend of mine went before Christmas and said it was good. Would be cool too get other people involved.

    I am heading myself from athlone to see what it is like.

    @evoke thanks for the heads up on OSS BarCamp - no idea how many will be going up for April 17th - will ask at our meetup next Tuesday - some of us are heading into exam mode for the next month - we have 3 streams that members are interested in todate - Android, Arduino and Game Development - Sebastian from the Galway LUG left a comment on our site so we hope to see him at our next meetup - did you ever look into getting a hackerspace going in Athlone?

    @hk797 did not rally up enough interest in the athlone lug so i do not think there would be enough interest in the hackerspace.

    I think it will be good at the camp this weekend. might see you there.

    @evoke had planned on making it but life had other plans - ended up playing car jockey for the weekend delivering friends cars from airports to ports because of the ash cloud - no idea if anyone else made it - will find out and let you know - thanks for the OSI link will spread the word.

    Hi,

    As some of you will know, Galway Hackerspace have just moved into a temporary space across from the Radisson (more details to follow...). We're looking for old desks, couches, chairs and computers to fill the space. If anyone has any stuff lying around that is not being used we would appreciate the donation (we can collect).

    PM me if you can help.

    Thanks
