This weeks Cork Open Coffee
Conor O’Neill, the driving force behind Corks Open Coffee asked if I would be interested in helping the ongoing organising of Cork Open Coffee.
The OpenCoffee Club was started in London to encourage entrepreneurs, developers and investors to organise real-world informal meetups to chat, network and grow
I jumped (as much as one can via email) at the chance. Im not the only one who thinks Conor’s energy is amazing with his various involvments. It isn’t fair however to expect him to continually drive energy into Open Coffee every second week. He has asked if myself and Ciara Crossan could share the load with him, each of us taking responsibility for an Open Coffee every 3 sessions.
This week on Friday the 7th I’m the point man and Open Coffee is in Luigi Malones, Emmet place, Cork from roughly 10am to 12pm.
Hopefully Ciara and I will be able to match Conor’s energy and his ability to stand up and kick off the session each time. Im usually the quiet one so It’ll be good for me to be shoved in front of people to talk from time to time.
Thank you Conor.
Oh, if you have any groovy new technology or something interesting to demo to the group, let me know. I’ll be sending out the reminder email soon and I could mention it in the email. I could bring along the new Asus EEE desktop version but I don’t think it would go very well in Luigis.
There are going to be Massive changes around here… nah, only kidding. See you Friday.
Great stuff Gordon, like you..I jumped at the chance to be more involved. I have made some great connections through OpenCoffee over the last few months and Conor has been a real positive force for me, encouraging me and advising me from the get-go.
Looking foward to many more successful Open Coffee mornings with you!
Dammit I was looking forward to the demos through the art-form of mime that you had planned
Seriously tho, at a minimum, I think this will re-energise OCC and bring in a bunch of new ideas. Thank you both for saying yes.
Now to get rid of this Conor fellow…
