Well, that was a blast.

I really enjoyed Ignite Dublin 8 last Thursday. There was a huge variety of talks, and I was lucky not to be following hilarious presentations by Shirley Temple-Bar and David McKeown.

This was Conor Houghton‘s last time at the helm of Ignite Dublin and I wish him well in his future endeavours in Bristol, he’ll be missed here in Dublin for sure.

I mentioned previously that the talks will be posted on the Ignite Dublin YouTube channel, I’ll update this post when mine goes online, which will be in a few weeks. But in the meantime my slidedeck is below, you may want to click through to see the speaker notes.

Now to plan my next Ignite talk…

I’ve given a couple of lectures in DIT Bolton St. over the last few months, and tomorrow it’s DIT Kevin Street’s turn.

This lecture covers a lot more ground than the previous two, as I’ll be talking a lot about Open Source Geo Tools as well as covering Open GeoData.

Here’s the slide deck:

I gave an introductory lecture yesterday to planning students in DIT on Open Geodata.

The presentation is a refresh of the one I gave back in December, and it is embedded below.

I hope you find this as interesting to browse as I did putting it together.  I’d be delighted to give more lectures on this topic in future, please get in touch if you know of a suitable event.

I gave a lecture to postgraduate students in DIT Bolton St. last Friday. The lecture seemed to be well received, and was followed up with a hands-on session on editing OpenStreetMap with the new Potlatch 2 editor.

In the interest of sharing, here’s my slide deck, which can be downloaded from Slideshare here:

If you’re interested in OpenStreetMap and are in Dublin on Wednesday 17th November then you might like to come along to a meetup with OSM users and entrepreneurs in The Schoolhouse Hotel at 4pm.

Cloudmade is a company which specialises in providing tools and API’s built on top of OpenStreetMap data. One of it’s founders, Nick Black, is in town for a few days and has kindly agreed to meet up for a chat / coffee / beer.

I met Nick at the State of the Map conference in 2009, and am looking forward to meeting him again to discuss OpenGeoData and the future of OpenStreetMap.

A number of other Irish OSMers will be there, so if you have any questions about the project, or just want to put names to faces then this is an ideal opportunity.

If you do fancy coming along then please let me know so I can keep an eye on numbers.
