Many thanks for the coverage Sarah. Much appreciated. It also proves that someone other than just ourselves (the Dublin & Belfast organising groups) is listening!

It is indeed a steep learning curve, and my coffee in-take is definitely increasing but I feel that the Ireland of Ireland deserves at least one WordCamp per year going forward for the benefit of the development/design community and the user-base itself.

We have some of the best designers and developers in the world in Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland and hopefully if we can get the right structure in place we can create something really special.

For anyone who is interested in joining us, please feel free to join the Dublin or Belfast meetup groups. Thanks ! John
