I’m really looking forward to Barcamp Galway this weekend. As well as the normal talks, there are a few panel discussions organised.

Academics – “If I’m so smart, why am I being paid so little?” – What it means to be a computer researcher
Practitioners – “I’ve got this great website, but nobody’s using it” – How to grow a community presence
Developers – “Send lawyers, guns and money, Dad” – Issues faced by Irish technology start-ups

Hopefully the timing of them will not clash so I will get to see more than one. If you are around the Galway area and want to see some great talks, drop into the Digital Enterprise Research Institute at NUI Galway.
