I will be giving a small talk on the Digital Rights Ireland case at Barcamp on Saturday. I hope to briefly outline the basis for the case and then open the floor to questions. I think the quicker you can get to the questions stage of an explanatory talk, the more likely it is that people will hear something that they really wanted answered.
If you can think of anything you’d imagine ought to be in such a talk, stick it in the comments.
I would like to point out that Barcamp seems to be shaping up to be quite busy, with over a hundred people signed up to attend. This is despite it being held, perversely, in Cork.
Cork is too far away. Though the natives will argue that Cork is in the right place and that it is the rest of the world that is too far away.

I beg your pardon – it is not being held perversely in Cork… it is being held, very prefessionally, in Cork!
I think you may have misspelled ‘professionally’ there, Tom.
No, prefessional is a state of competence bordering on but not quite reaching full professionalism, and is appropriate when applied to an emerging area of thinking or an emerging discipline. Tom is just one step ahead in coining the perfect term to describe this state of being…
Ahem!
Yes Daragh explained it prefectly(!)
Shame on you Simon for not knowing this.
I’d have imagined the prefessional was a religious state experienced by those on their way to be shriven in the confessional.
This enquiry into the world of the prefix also suggests that professional was some kind of opposite of confessional.
The humble penitent versus the cocky swanks of the worlds of law, medicine, accountancy and, er, teaching, perhaps?
Will the ‘small’ talk on the Digital Rights Ireland case be available as a podcast?
Perhaps a condenced version of it. But not one made by me! I was let talk away by Gavin Byrne from NEAR FM about the subject into his nifty recording machine. He said he’ll release it as a podcast from http://www.nearfm.ie
