- A big thank you again to Catherine in it@cork for making today happen, it was a superb session
- The recordings I did today of Brian McAuliffe presenting Something.ie were actually being streamed live to the web on Qik.com. The full set of videos from today can be found here.
- The feedback on today was all positive with the only comment being that we should time-limit the demos (this is no reflection on Brian!). Perhaps we should just do 15 mins talk + 15 mins Q&A or just 30mins combined?
- We didn’t get to talk about outsourcing which was a pity, hopefully next time.
- It was great to see so many new faces. I need to get their email addresses.
- Well done to Brendan from Tapasol for winning a FON router which was kindly donated by Tom Raftery
- It looks like Phoebe Bright will present at the next session on issues around energy. We are aiming for Webworks and will let you know when it is confirmed.
- Congratulations to Siasy for launching the all-new EuropeanIrish.com -Let all your friends and family on the continent know about the site, it’s a fantastic resource
Small BES/SCS Update
September 14, 2007 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comment
From Denise in GEP:
I spoke with Cillian in Revenue last week before he went on holidays re coming down to Cork to do open session on BES/SCS- he said although there were headline announcements in the news in the last 2 weeks, the details have still not been worked out and will have to go through the Dail (which is just resumed) before Revenue will start any public discussion on it. We spoke of mid to late October as possible and I am keeping in touch with him on it and will keep you posted.
From other sources, there has been comments that it could go out to Dec 5th with the Budget.
Unfortunately, it sounds like the previous melee (was it 2004?) is going to happen all over again with everyone trying to get in before Dec 31st.
