A Real Jam

We’re big into our jams at TOG….. Linux, Python, Finish-a-thons… you name it. Last Saturday at our regular monthly Open Social, we ran a real jam… blackberry and apple to be precise!

With 3.2kg of blackberries collected from the Royal Canal in Dublin and Kildare, and apples from one of our members’ trees, we made a huge pot of jam which filled about 24 jars.

Our Open Social is usually a foodie affair anyway, with our pizza oven going. This one was especially busy with both the pizza and jam. Everyone got to have a stir of the pot, and we all got to take a jar home…. still piping hot.

If jam making and other foodie things interest you, get in touch. We might do another session soon. Check out our gallery for even more photos.

Social Nights Moved

So we have decided to move our social nights to more regular intervals and easier to put in our calenders, both paper and electronic!

So from now on we have our social nights on the 1st Saturday of the month, and the 3rd Thursday of the month (just before the Hackathon). This means that our first Social Night in the new slot is Saturday the 7th August and the next will be Thursday the 19th of August. I have also added these new dates to our calender on the blog so you can also check there if you are unsure.

The suggested themes for these nights will be a food night where people can bring food to the space and share some nibbles and a laugh, and a movie night ( the first one was great 🙂 ). These can of course change as more suggestions are made.
