Hi Luke,

I'm fairly new to IFSO and have never been to any of the IFSO meetings yet,
but talking about Code For Ireland I've been to their meetups before and
know one of the projects' lead. I'm around this week and can meet after
work.

Code For Ireland used to run events together with Open Knowledge Ireland.
Haven't seen Open Knowledge Ireland running meetup for a while but there
are people working with government data in Code For Ireland. In addition
there is also DataKind Dublin who sometimes run hackathons for putting
public data or charity data to good use.

There is also a Dublin Open Source Meetup which mainly gives talks on open
source software and how to contribute etc. They have a meetup coming up on
Feb 21st: https://www.meetup.com/dublin-oss/

Hope this information is helpful.

Regards,

Panpan
