PyCon Ireland 2023 Trip
|
|
|
|
For proof of trip attendance please see <<https://cp.ulwolves.ie/manage/events/15130>>
|
|
|
|
This was a trip made by UL Computer Society to PyCon Ireland 2023, hosted in the Raddison Blu Hotel in Dublin on November 11th-November 12th, 2023.
|
|
This section will cover the organization of the trip.
|
|
|
|
Since we had to find transportation for this trip, preparation for this event took a lot of organization.
|
|
We needed to find transport for all Computer Society members that wanted to attend the event from Limerick to Dublin and back to Limerick without being late for the event in addition to getting tickets for our members, the cost of which was subsidized by the Society itself.
|
|
We were able to coordinate the committee towards surveying our members to find those that were interested in attending the conference, finding and paying for transportation to and from Limerick to Dublin, and negotiating bulk ticket purchasing deals with the staff at PyCon Ireland.
|
|
Once we had the numbers with regards to who were planning on attending, we booked the tickets for the events and the buses from Limerick to Dublin and back.
|
|
Things went smoothly, and we were able to adhere to our initial itinerary.
|
|
The return journey also went smoothly.

Semester 2 presentation events
|
|
|
|
In Semester 2 of this year we ran a RetroPi presentation event in which our Society collaborated with UL Games Development Society and Games Society to present RetroPi, a system that uses Raspberry Pis to play retro games.
|
|
We made an interactive presentation where we showed off what the Raspberry Pi is capable of, and demonstrated how it can be used to play retro arcade games.
|
|
It also offered our members a handson demonstration of how Raspberry Pis work and how we can run programs on it.
