      Hi all

      Would people be up for another meetup and chat (maybe in the same place in Temple Bar if Mark can arrange) and then afterwards for a drink or two?

      I think maybe we could meet once in Oct and then skip Nov since there are lots of other game events.

      Would Thurs the 11th or Thurs the 25th work..?

      I could report back on the Games Ireland meeting…

      Let me know what you think..

      Just want to point out that 11th October is Pub Standards Dublin night. If not many people here attend that, I suppose you can ignore this post. :wink:

      Sounds good, I can book the board room again.

      I’d suggest the 25th so as not to conflict with Pub Standards. We went down after the last meet but it was too late at that stage.

      Missed the last ton of meet-ups thanks to a busy final year in my undergrad and then being away from Dublin over the summer.

      But I’m in Dublin on Thursdays now for my Master’s anyway so I have no excuse for this one.

      Any chance I could get the exact location for this one?

      once Mark confirms if we can acess the same room as last meeting we will confirm venue. Last time it was in Temple Bar near the IFC…

      Hey guys,

      I was out sick last week so I couldn’t book the room.

      I’ll book it in the morning and confirm then.

      All the best,

      Mark

      I was going to give a quick update on the last Games Ireland meeting that I attended and remind people of some of the forthcoming events in November.

      Feel free to add something to the agenda.

      Hey Aphra, I was gonna come along to this meet up to catch up with the GD.ie crowd. It’s been along time since I came to one, years probably. Is there an admission fee or something since there is a room booked?

      Hi All,

      Is it ok if I bring a few people along that evening?

      The guys from the Babycastles workshop is wrapping up and I thought that it would be cool for the guys who travelled from NY to meet Irish Indies. :-)

      Cheers,

      Oh, one more question, how long does the meetup last, as this is BabyCastles last workshop night and I don’t think they will finish late?

    • #49096
      Aphra K
      Keymaster

      last time I think the meeting lasted until 9pm…but it really depends on the participants.

      If you think you will arrive late PM either me or Mark for a mobile number as the meeting is upstairs and we can’t leave the door open for late comers. You need to text us.

      Aphra

      PS Re Thurs. Thurs seems to work for most people for these types of meetings but sometimes we have them on a Friday – it depends on the discussion on the forums.

      Thanks, Aphra.

      Do you guys go to a pub afterwards, just in case? :-)

    • #49099
      Aphra K
      Keymaster

      yes…last time it was up to the pub standards event but it was pretty hard to chat there so I think this time we will go some where local to Eustace street. Any recommendations?

      What is the ha’penny inn bar like on a Thurs.? The one looking on to the Liffey

      Any agenda items so far?

      What about Brogans afterwards? Just around the corner, nice and quiet (usually no music or TV on), and a decent pint…

    • #49111
      Aphra K
      Keymaster

      that is a good option…it has been a while since I have been there.

      We have a few items on the agenda and people can make suggestions too, either here or at the beginning of the meeting

      Hi Aphra,

      I’ll be there a little after 8, so I’ll give you a buzz when I’m outside

      I’ll be bringing some print outs of the survey with me, so anyone who hasn’t done it so far that would do it tonight would be greatly appreciated

      Great night last night.

      Did anyone take notes on what was said at the meeting? I think that’d be a very useful thing to do at future meetings.

      Nice to meet everyone last night!

      The main theme of the meeting seemed to be how everyone could share with each other: share expertise, experience, documentation, mistakes, business dudes, etc.

      Would be nice to drive that forward, and see what platform(s) worked best for everyone (wiki, forums, workshops, incubators?).

      I had taken notes from last night too, but not as good as Aphra’s I’m sure. Plus, I had to duck out just before it finished up (sorry about that). I think having some record of minutes would be a great idea so as to follow up on previous suggestions etc. What do others think?

      Cool, can’t wait to see what everyone was talking about from the minutes. Sorry I couldn’t make it (along with the BabyCastles guys).

      and someone send me the info for that event in the Helix…the animee one, that was discussed.
