From the folks at freenode, where most of us hang out on irc. They are encouraging geeks to take a step away from the pc and come out to the parks and meet one another. Dublin is going to be the 2nd Geeknic and is going to take place in St.Stephens Green.

So what is a Geeknick I hear you say, well a geeknic is rather simply a picnic for geeks. Throughout 2009, freenode are planning (and helping others plan) geeknics all over the world. Anywhere there are geeks, we would love to see a geeknic happen.

So what happens at a geeknic? Well, it will vary by location, by what is available at the site, and by the decisions of the planners of each individual geeknic. No two geeknics will be the same, but they will all be exciting and fun events for local geeks. The common theme is meeting in the outdoors (something unusual for us geeks) and having a good time.

When possible, many geeknics will be attended by freenode staff, but regardless we’re here and happy to help promote geeknics, so if you need help and would like to organize your very own local geeknic, let us know at geeknic@geeknic.org.

And you can register letting the nice folks know you are coming by going here http://geeknic.org/?page_id=28

they have also just added a Wiki (http://wiki.geeknic.org/index.php/Dublin_2009)

Wonderful information that by tqm51
