 * Software Freedom Day September [[http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/327350 |2009]] was a great success.

 * We've had a number of release parties, Hardy, [[http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/329391|Intrepid]], and [[http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/341386|Jaunty]]. People who were not at the event came up asking us about Ubuntu. We were showing them the system on our machines and giving them CDs and information on how to contact us. Our numbers grew from just a few people to around 30 people coming along.

 Our Release parties ranged from going just to the pub to going for a sit down dinner with new people and burning CDs afterwards in the pub for anyone who was looking for the latest release.

 * Global BugJam [[http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/335130|Ireland]] like so many teams around the world, the Irish Team held its first one this year. We were fortunate to use [[http://dit.ie/|DIT]] and a good turn, we had different levels of participation from normal bug triaging to learning how bug tracking works to writing patches to fix bugs. The day ran successfully partially due to us running a trial day two weeks prior to the main event.

 *[[http://ossbarcamp.com/|OSSBarcamp]] A member of the Ubuntu-ie LoCo organised this event, however we had a number of participants taking part in the day, giving talks,helping run the day. There were specific talks on Community by Luis de Bethencourt and also a talk by Maciej Danielski on the Ubuntu-ie LoCo.

 * [[http://wiki.geeknic.org/index.php/Dublin_2009|Geeknic]] Irish Geeks left the server room and laptops behind and took to the green pastures of the park. Members came along and relaxed over cakes and sandwiches. It was a great day with about 26 people turning up.		  * Ubuntu Chicago Bike Ride 2010 - A pure social event where several LoCo members went for a nice bike ride and ice cream - [[http://blog.nixternal.com/2010.07.13/ubuntu-chicago-bike-ride/|nixternal blog post]]
