Linuxbierwanderung Among The Heather

yalla writes: "After being in Pottenstein, Coniston and Bouillon, the Linuxbierwanderung is taking Place in Doolin, Ireland. As every year, we're holding lectures, take a lot of hikes and obvisiously enjoy the local beer. This time we even got our own beer: The 'Black Tux' (Stout), 'Reddish Brown Beer' (Red Ale) and the 'Holy Penguin Pee' (which is a Lager). The beer was sponsored by the Irish Linux User Group. Our network setup is sort of weird, like last year; we connected the camping-site via wireless LAN and directional antennas with 'The Hall,' the local community center, which is the central gathering place for all activities."

just to mention my company's contribution, we supplied the isdn line for the first three or four days. eircom, irelands most wonderful phone company, was not able to make the isdn line work for the doolin activities center. so the internet connection was achieved by bouncing a signal to a youth hostel further into doolin and then from there up to my boss's office over his garage. the wireless gear and seup were handled by several people including the irish wan group.

our company is doolin technologies. we do linux application development and in our own odd way are responsible for about half a million people using linux in ireland each week. if you ever visit (or live in) ireland and get a mobile phone or long distance top-up code from an alphyra (formerly itg) credit card terminal, you've just used linux. and perl and mysql actually.

if anyone is in ireland up to this saturday, get down to doolin. it's great fun down there. and if you're an annoyed eircom customer, might i recommend the odtr as a place you might be able to direct your complaint.
