Off to Ireland

Oops - not been great in keeping up with blog postings..
Been away on a consulting gig (enterprise architect/strategy) for a large USA retail firm. The joys of the larger companies!


Off to Ireland for a few weeks (23 Oct - Nov 6) and hoping to meet up with some software startups. Talked with some before but would be great to meetup in person and see the "real story" trying 2 get a startup going in Ireland.

In Galway, Dublin(maybe), Cork and possibly Clonmel. If anyone is interesting in (organising) a meetup (Barcamp/OpenCoffee or whatever -even pub 'visit') please let me know.
