Oh. My.
I've only skimmed this as I need to leave for work soon.
You really should post a warning at the top of this thread that reading it might induce multiple geekgasms that can only be adequately described in the DL forum.
There's a working museum in Ireland?! Where's the thread???
Geek that I am I'm already envisioning my personal tour:
Ireland:
Museum, Dingle peninsula to see the palm trees, meet some members in a pub.
Isle of Man:
Geek out over Manx revival efforts and visit Ubuntu headquarters.
UK:
Museum, meet members in a pub, see palm trees in Cornwall, see more palm trees in Scotland, and stand on the 'invisible lift' shielded by the perception filter in the Plass in Cardiff (points if you know what this last refers to).
I think I need to fan myself....
