Here is my summary of Open Coffee Dublin that took place in Dakota bar this Saturday. The coffee at new place was delicious (even thought people did have problem finding it). I got a lot of new ideas for my blog and enjoyed networking.
- Little Black Card gave short presentation – the littleblackcard promotes stores and individuals who have something to offer you while also helping to raise funds for Simon Communities across Ireland.
- Nial gave presentation of Echodio – iTunes music synchronization tool
- National College of Ireland representatives came to get more ideas what should be in new web development course they are launching
- Thomas from Synergi told us about how system administration is similar to Chinese doctor system. You pay when you are healthy, but when you are sick they come for free. Good motivation to keep you well. Same with system administration – if you pay maintenance fee, then when you have emergency administrator is there for you for free.
- I learned about webstorng (our in-direct concurents) and their model of work – they develop you site for free, but you pay them fee after
- Few other people I met was: PHP developer who developed his business idea; Visual Basic developer who loves networking; web user who just want to hear more about internet.

As a student of the NCI, I wonder what they took from Open Coffee Dublin. I’m glad they are reworking the IT courses there but its a little late for me since I’m 3 years in.
