iia: August 2007 Archives

Curses! Business + weddings + shiny laptops = not having enough time to write Anyhow ... Fergal O'Byrne has posted to the IIA's blog about the squatters I mentioned elsewhere The podcamp Ireland site looks fantastic and unlike so many of these *camp sites they seem to be actually using it to provide useful content that is related to the event but not totally centred on it. Go read it to see what I mean.

I posted this last night on my domain site. I'm not sure if RTE make available the radio shows as easy downloads (their site seems to be a bit of a mess at the moment), so if you didn't grab the interview when you could you'll have to rely on 3rd party reporting

The 2007 Irish Internet Association Net Visionary awards are now open for nominations. People I'd like to see win this year:

1. Alan O Rourke
2. Conn
3. Red Cardinal
4. 2Bscene
5. Damien Mulley
6. Dave Davis

The category list is below: Social Contribution Technology Journalist Innovation eGovernment Internet Marketer Web Designer Web Developer Online Trader Educational Contribution Internet Entrepreneur Mobile Internet Application Best Online Banking Service Best Podcaster Best Blogger I'll try to put together a proper list of people I'd nominate under each category over the next couple of days ...

It's that time of the year again, when members of the Irish Internet Association get to cast their vote for who should be on the board .... Of the nominees for this year's election only two are based outside Dublin, namely Keith Bohanna (Kilkenny) and Niall McKeown (Belfast) Keith has a full list of the nominees (I nominated him by the way) Personally I think it would be a good thing if there was greater regional representation on the board. Over the last couple of years the association has held a lot more events throughout the country and I'd like to see that continue. On a sidenote - congratulations to Fergal O'Byrne and his wife Maiken on the birth of twins!
