Noting, we are meeting in a public park.
What to bring :
Its a picnic. Bring anything(but I think there is no BBQ in the park) Bring food , drink for yourself and a little extra to share. For those who forget to bring food, there is a farmers market on the day in the park that sells all sorts of nice food.
Backup:
There is a chance of rain, come on it’s Ireland. If there is rain on the day, keep an eye on the irc channel and twitter account
http://twitter.com/ubuntuie for updates. We will be still going to Dun Laoghaire but we might move somewhere in doors.
WIFI
Don’t know don’t care. Come on it’s a picnic, the internet will be still there when you get back.
