In Bangalore in 2008, we started talking about the organization in much more detail, and once returned to Limerick, the actual preparations began.
We're starting now a conference blog, 7 months before the actual conference.
Why a conference blog?!
- It might be interesting for the potential participants to get a few glimpses of the preparations.
- It can be used for the organisers of the next editions for duplicating what went well, and avoiding what went wrong (hopefully not too many things in this second category!)
- It is a handy way to get feedback from the people who attended the previous editions and would like to make suggestions for this year.
- It could be a consolation for the ones who won't make it to Limerick, but would like to keep an eye on what happens.
You'll have the chance to read about the venue, the social events, about how to get here, about places to go while in Limerick and, of course, about the famous Irish weather!
And to end this first post, an Irish blessing for all our readers:
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand!
May the leprechauns be near you
To spread luck along your way!
To spread luck along your way!
