 * Regular Ubuntu-IE IRC Meetings [[IrishTeam/IRCMeetings]]

 * Ran the Drop in Centre, where folks could pop in and ask questions, also a place to hang out. We did have to close up shop as interest dwindled. Also our space got reorganised. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/rorymccann/2613725011/in/photostream/ Photos]

 * Monthly face to face meet ups, called POTD (Pints of the Day) which happens on the 1st Thursday of the month in Dublin, in the Longstone pub. Ompaul runs a geeky quiz each month and gives a prize. This is done in conjunction with the ILUG (Irish Linux User Group).

 * We've had a number of release parties, Hardy, Intrepid [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/329391], and Jaunty [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/341386]. 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. These ranged from going to the pub to going for dinner with new people and burning CD's for anyone who was looking for the latest release.

 * Global BugJam [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/335130] like so many teams around the world, the Irish Team held its first one this year. We were fortunate to use DIT [http://dit.ie/] 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.

 * Software Freedom Day September 2009 [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/327350] was a great success. We ran a day with some talks and demonstrations of installs of Ubuntu, and also had members from ILUG and the Open Street Mapping showing off their areas and gaining interest.
