Any questions for Tom Keane

Friday, October 17th, 2008

On Monday the 13th, Tom Keane from Nitrosell gave a presentation to a packed Open Coffee in the National Software Center in Cork in association with SohoSolo and CorkBIC.

Regretfully Tom had to leave quickly after the presentation to catch a flight to the US so he wasn’t able to take many questions.

Like myself, I’m sure others at the presentation that day have since thought of a few questions that they would like to ask Tom.  I will be meeting with him when he returns to Cork so if you have any questions use the comments below and I’ll pass them on over coffee.

I’m looking forward to listening to Tom and thanks to my co-worker John Fitzgerald for plying Tom away from his existing work to come and talk to Open Coffee.

Thank you also to Conor O’Neill for pulling Open Coffee, Soho Solo and the National software center together for Tom to talk to us.
