With the move to the new space, we need a lot of new furniture to do the fit out in the right way. We were delighted to accept some tables from the Science Gallery. We will put them to good use in our new class room. If you have anything that you feel we might use, be sure to email us.
Ice Skating
During our last meetup, the topic of a Tog festive meetup came up. We decided we wanted a non pub meetup for our next meeting. As its a festive time of the year we picked ice skating. This actively only shows up in our fair city a few months of the year so why not make use of it. We will be making our way out to Dundrum next Tuesday. You will see someone in a tog tshirt.

!Cake
Software nerds will understand 🙂
Well the cake didn’t last long. What do you expect with a bunch of hungry hackers. Great to see everyone at our social evening tonight. Great to talk to some visitors too who are interested in joining up. Some interesting new ideas. Keep in touch with us as things are moving along steadily with TOG 3.0

New Constitution
With the formation of Tog Hackerspace Dac we will have a new set of rules to govern our organisation. The new constitution can be viewed on our website on the top menu. For the next few months both versions of Tog will still continue to run but the old unincorporated association will be phased out. We now have a board of directors to handle the day to day running our the space.They were voted in and will be taking instruction from our membership. If you are unsure how all this works do get in touch and we are happy to explain any parts of it.
Board of Directors
- Jeffrey Roe – CEO
- Robert Fitzsimons – Company Sectary
- Sean Nicholls
- Shane Phelan
- Andrew Felle
Tog Hackerspace Designated Activity Company
Lots of things are changing with Tog not just our address. We are changing our internal structure to help the group grow. We have formed a Designated Activity Company or DAC for short. A DAC is a new company structure created by the Companies Act 2014. We will have to reaffirm a set of goals that we will have to strive to implement.
The objects for which the company is established are the promotion of innovation in science, technology, modern culture, and creative arts and the doing of all such other things as are incidental or conductive to the attainment of the above objective.
We will be publishing the new constitution and most details in the coming weeks. In the mean time we will be have a Social Meetup to celebrate. There will be cake.
Thursday 26th November, 19.30, Upstairs, Longstone, 11 Townsend St, Dublin 2, D02 FE00
Social Meetup Thanks!
Thanks to everyone who showed up to our meetup last night. We had a great mix of members and visitors…… great to see everybody. Things are moving along with our new space. We ordered our members individual keys this week. We have a number of other administrative tasks on the go which are progressing well. The builders are making great progress in the space too. Our neighbour upstairs is getting ready to move in.
We might do another social next week, so keep in touch with us here and on our other channels….
