CryptoParty – Friday 8th March 2013
TOG is very pleased to announce that we will be holding the 3rd Dublin CryptoParty. Doors will be open from 7pm, and aim for a 7:30pm start, on Friday the 8th March 2013, and we will stay open as long as people are happy to stay ( within reason ).
CryptoParty attendees request you to respect their privacy and refrain from taking pictures or video at this event.
The idea of a CryptoParty is to make everyone more aware of their own on-line privacy and security in this vast inter-connected world that we live in. On the night we have the following talks planned:(in no particular order)
- Donnacha: Intro to Tor
- Enoch: How Bitcoin works
- Jester: Wireless Insecurities
Please check the Dublin CryptoParty Wiki for more details, and of course join their mailing list if you are so inclined.
GaelHack 2013
Some of you already know that members of the Irish Hackerspaces Community have been talking about running a Hacker / Maker Camp in Ireland, similar to other events like this such as EMF Camp last year in the UK.
GaelHack is to do just that! From 7th – 9th June 2013 hackers, geeks, scientists, engineers, artists, and crafters will meet in Mount Melleray Scout Center, near Cappoquin in Waterford. There they will hold workshops, talks, and be able to collaborate on projects to their hearts content, and hopefully well past their bed time.
At the moment early-bird tickets are just €80 and that includes camping/dorm accommodation, and basic food. What more would you want from a weekend? Well you can tell us, and join the mailing list to help in making GaelHack a great weekend.
Spread the good work on what we are trying to do. Website for the event is http://gaelhack.hackerspaces.ie

Dublin Mini Makerfaire: Call for Makers
The Dublin Mini Makerfaire is back this year in the grounds of TCD on the July 27th. They have just open their call for makers. We plan on submitting again this year. For those who don’t remember last year we have some great projects from the diverse groups within TOG. Check out the sideshow after the break for some cool photos of the TOG stand.
TOG Birthday Party
TOG is pleased to announce that it will be 4 years young this year on the 21st of January. To celebrate this we have decided to have our yearly birthday bash on the 26th of January. This will be a BYOB event and the cake will (maybe) not be a lie!
Our specific plans for the night are as always late to be finalized but as usual we will be open from 9pm, and always stay till late. Typically we play music, have some food and drinks.
Please take this opportunity to join us in celebrating the fact that 4 years ago, most of the members of TOG were strangers, and we now form tight knit community that encourages others to share knowledge and skills.
Hope to see you there 🙂
