Paul,
I wasn't aware of any previous scheduled meetings. My apologies if you
were disappointed in the past.
I've taken the initiative to organise this with Ronan - I would suggest,
as individuals. We've also drafted in Amy from dotMobi to help us
organise the room and so on.
MoMoDublin is certainly not intended to be dotMobi's own marketing
event, if that's what you fear. No more than MoMoLondon is a vehicle for
Vodafone because they hosted the first event and happen to employ one of
the organisers!
My company is going to shout the drinks and food this first time. But
dotMobi is a global MoMo sponsor, so that seems fair enough. (Segala is
very welcome to sponsor a future event. And you - as an individual of
course - are welcome to help us with the organisation :-) )
As mere individuals in a small industry, we will be totally accountable.
Although I should probably add that dotMobi - as a reputable Irish
company in the same industry - would have been just as much so.
Best regards,
James

...and do a WHOIS if you want :-)

James,
I'm quite familiar with how Mobile Mondays are run in other countries -
they're organised by individuals. Yet Dublin's appears to be run by a
company (please correct me if I'm wrong). We've seen previous dates move
as a result of mTLD's priorities changing. This is perfectly
understandable but a little worrying for me as I fear events will be
postponed after I've booked flights and hotel accommodation and changed
my schedule around etc.
What are your thoughts about this? Will Momodublin be organised by
individuals that are held accountable?
Thanks
Paul
