Travel
See map above for location.
- If you're arriving at Ceannt Station on the Dublin train you can grab a cab pretty much outside the main entrance to the station. DERI is 3-4km from the station. (Maybe post here if you're using the train - could be opportunity to share a cab?)
- Take the local bus #4 from Eyre Square to Newcastle (sometimes shows 4W for West). Get off at terminus and the driver should be able to point you to the IDA business park just across the road with traffic lights. Buses at 0940 and 1020 (timetable at: http://www.buseireann.ie/site/your_journey/printed_timetable_pdfs/city/g...)
- If you're arriving at the airport it's a cab journey in. DERI is in the Newcastle area - there's a pricing board outside the airport. Last time I did this journey it was about €25 in a taxi.
- If you live as close to the place as Alan and Vincent then walk! [or cycle]
- If you get stuck somewhere ring one of the locals below and one of us will come and get you.

another irish drupaller
hi all, just adding my name here even tho the drupal meeting isn't going ahead.
i'd be interested in attending whenever it happens if i'm free - i'm based in wicklow.
i'm a software developer by training by so far have not done drupal development as such; i have done a lot of installing and configuring drupal + lots of modules for about a year now. would be interested in getting module development training preferably in or near ireland. not sure if i have enough experience to formally present anything, but i've done a few unusual things with standard modules which might be interesting for other people to hear about.

Did you guys end up having an event sometime in March?
Are you still looking for a venue? I would like to attend a meet up if you haven't already done one.
It is possible that I could arrange something in Sligo... but Sligo might be a bit out of reach for those from very far away. Might be a nice change of scenery, however :)
We didn't end up meeting in
We didn't end up meeting in march. I was talking to Cloud a few days ago, and it would be nice to meet sometime in the coming weeks. There are 4 of us based in Galway who I presume would be interested in attending, and the venue is not a problem. Do you know many other Drupalers in Sligo? :)
