This Week, Joe Scanlon will be demoing a new site that he dreamt up and runs called LittleQuiz. LittleQuiz is a great site allowing you to enter competitions every week to win some pretty great stuff! This weeks competition is for a choice of mobile phones, sponsored by Loudervoice.com.
Some great coffee and nibbles will be there on the morning, free to all thanks to sponsorship from Paul Brugger from City Local Cork. The Coffee is from Mr Cotton Coffee and the nibbles are from Denise O Callaghans Delicious gluten free bakery.
If you like Cork Open Coffee, take a look at the Upcoming BarCamp Cork event in November in Cork, its like a day long Open Coffee.

Hi OCCers!
This weeks Cork Open Coffee Club is on in the Rubicon Centre in Bishopstown, near CIT Campus. Please note that parking is limited at the moment due to building works so you may have to park in the CIT overflow car park.
Usual time: 10am – 12pm.
Roland Steinmetz from Shared Visions will be running Virtual Open Coffee (VOCC) again this week after the success of the last session.
If you can’t attend in person, be there virtually! You will have to accept a download and if you want to participate, plug in headset and camera before entering the meeting. This is PC only – no Mac or Linux at the moment unfortunately. Here is the link for the #vocc for Friday: http://www.nefsis.com/join.html?dn=OCC
Roland will talk briefly at the beginning of the session to introd! uce the concept (he has promised us he won’t do sales!) just neutral benefits about savings in time, expenses and high end remote communication.
Speakers:
We are always looking for speakers for our demo slots so if you (or anyone you know) has a new start up business idea and wants to get feedback from like-minded entrepreneurs, please do get in touch. We request that no sales-pitches are done in these sessions, but they are used as a way to brainstorm about your idea/technology and make suggestions. These usually last no more than 15/20 mins presentation and 10/15 mins Q&A.
Looking forward to seeing you all there on Friday. Don’t forget, we are now on twitter so you can follow @CorkOpenCoffee for updates 
Many thanks,
Ciara Crossan

Cork Open Coffee is going strong each fortnight but there are a few who can’t make it on a Friday morning during work hours.
At the last Open Coffee in Nosh+Coffee it was decided to organise an evening event.
Right now the plan is to meet on Friday the 28th of August somewhere in
Cork.
Are you interested in attended an Open Coffee – evening style? Any
recommendations for a location and a time to kick off?
How about the newly renovated Bodega? Theres plenty of space inside and its
an ideal spot for evening meals, drinks etc.

It was an excellent presentation, David covered a lot of very relevant topics focused on those in commercial software development in a short time.
Davids presentation was called The Creation, Protection and Exploitation of Software – A Practical and Non-Harming Legal Review and covered the following areas:
- Legal background to ownership of software – VCs and The Exit Strategy
- Protection and Infringement of software
- Exploitation of software – how to get it right from the very start
A practical and commercial legal review aimed at software developers and those dealing in IT contracts.
Davids talk was also available online thanks to Shared Visions. Roland Steinmetz set up the room with a camera and speakers allowing the online viewers to participate from their offices, one user joined us from Munich!
