Hey everyone, Facebook sent us the following mail and we thought it may be of interest to you guys. "Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at Facebook? Now is your chance to find out! We’re hosting a night of technology fun in early August at Facebook’s EMEA HQ. Think you’ve got what it takes to impress our engineering experts with your tech know-how? Show off your skills at our Table Quiz and be in with a chance to win some cool prizes! After the quiz, we'll light the grills and get you fired up about our newest tech developments at Facebook Dublin. Be our guest for a rooftop BBQ and meet the people behind our Engineering, Developer Relations and Risk teams. While this is not primarily a recruitment event, there are some opportunities available on our teams. If you’d like to learn more and register your interest in attending the event, please forward your current CV to siobhan.golden(a)fb.com. Space is limited, so don’t hesitate, sign up today! For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/facebookdublintech." If you see an event that may be of interest to our members let us know. Hope you're all enjoying your summer! Lotta Mikkonen (attol) RedBrick Secretary 2011/2012

Hi all, Just a quick mail to let you all know that murphy and daniel will be briefly unavailable tomorrow evening at 19:15. This means that the website, user webspaces and user VMs will be unavailable for a short period of time. It also means that after they come back online you'll need to manually start any VMs you need to use from the web interface. Cheers, Austin Halpin (haus)
