Hey there folks,
My name is John Griffin. …..
I am based here in Dublin after just coming back from UK and US where I have been for the last 18 years. Eh … I think I am probably a bit older than many of you :-) ]
Don’t be so sure!!

only two sites in Ireland according to the official map – not sure if that is for the island or the Republic – I guess LIT Thurles and Griffith College in Dublin. And we know one in Belfast.

Thanks to Andrea from BatCat for attending Jan meeting of Games Ireland.
Incubation project is still being worked on – looking for space and funding.
You will also see that date for the Games gig has changed to end of Feb – alongside the MS event now.
Next meeting is the 21st of Feb at 11am – venue tbc.
PM me if you are a registered company and would like to attend as the indie rep.
best

all ideas are welcome.
I am working on getting the resources and manpower to update things.
I do think it is inevitable though as things grow that there are more centres and networks…I guess the challenges will be keeping them linked.
Aphra
the date for the Games Ireland Gig (last year in the Gibson hotel) has been moved and will co-locate with the Microsoft event this year. So adjust your calendars…they all happen on the 28th Feb. now.
I think they are also looking for ideas for the format…so post them here and we will pass them on.

some info on the smart futures website too…
