Friday Mafia Session - Social Deduction Game
This event is beginner Friendly. More experienced players are still free to come along. I will explain the rules before the first game at 7:15 so please arrive on time if you're new. The rules may be different than other versions of mafia that you played.

Ciorcal ComhrĆ” sa chlub, beginners welcome!
Dear fellow Gaeilgeoiri,
Cead mile failte / a warm welcome to this group of Irish language lovers and enthusiasts. Hope you will enjoy everything it has to offer and feel free to suggest new events, and, why not step in as an event organizer?
What this group is not:
- A group limited to those with perfect proficiency in the language, where any single word of English is banned, and where you will get corrected for every séimhiú that, God forbid, you might be forgetting
What this group is:
- A forum of Gaeilge enthusiasts willing to share their interest and love of the language. We all started learning a language, including our own, from scratch at some point in our lives. Absolute beginners are welcome and should not feel intimidated. Near perfect and native Irish speakers are also welcome to share their vast knowledge of the language. Hopefully this will create a thriving community of lovers of the language at any level.

TOG Turns 17: Birthday Open Social, Pizza, Cake, and a Bit of Craic
TOG is turning **17**, and weāre marking it the best way we know how: by rolling our regular **Open Social Night** into a proper **birthday session** with **pizza, cake, and plenty of chatting, tinkering, and general messing**.
If youāve been meaning to drop in for ages, this is a lovely one to start with. If youāre a regular, you already know the vibe: good people, interesting projects on benches, and the sort of conversations that start with āwhatās that board?ā and end up with someone soldering at 1am.
### When and where
* **Date:** **Saturday 24th January**
* **Time:** **7:00pm until late**
* **Location:** **TOG Hackerspace**
The space stays open until the last member calls it a night, which often means we drift happily into the small hours of Sunday morning. Pop in for 10 minutes or stay for the whole stretch, youāre very welcome.
### What to expect
* **Homemade pizza** from the TOG pizza oven, rolling out through the evening
* **Birthday cake** (because weāre not animals)
* **A relaxed open evening**: tours, chats, and a look at whatever weird and wonderful builds are on the go
* **Community craic**: talk, tunes, and the usual āoh go on, Iāll show you how that worksā energy
Our Open Social Nights are an easy, no-pressure way to see the space and meet the people. Thereās no agenda and no expectation that youāre āgood atā anything. Curiosity is the only requirement.
### Make a full day of it: Finish-a-thon earlier that day
This birthday party is happening the **same day as our Finish-a-thon**, running **11:00am to 7:00pm**. So if youāve got a project half-done, a box of parts staring at you, or a nagging āI really should finish thatā, you can spend the day getting it wrapped up, then roll straight into the birthday celebrations at 7pm.
Have a look here for the Finish-a-thon details:
[https://www.tog.ie/2026/01/a-day-to-finish-what-you-started-finish-a-thon-2/](https://www.tog.ie/2026/01/a-day-to-finish-what-you-started-finish-a-thon-2/)
### What to bring
Weāll have food covered between pizza and cake, but feel free to bring along:
* A drink (or your beverage of choice)
* Snacks to share
* A project to show off, or something you want advice on
* A friend whoās curious about makerspaces
Weāve also got **plenty of free parking**, so itās handy to swing by with gear, gadgets, or something for show-and-tell.
### Come celebrate 17 years of TOG
Seventeen years of TOG is a bit mad, in the best way. What started as a small group of people who wanted a place to build and learn has grown into a proper community workshop full of skills, tools, and good humour.
So come in, grab a slice of pizza, have a wander, meet the crew, and help us celebrate.
**See you Saturday 24th January from 7pm.**

A Day to Finish What You Started ā Finish-a-thon
At TOG, we love hacking, tinkering, and making things⦠but weāre also very good at accumulating half-finished projects. You know the ones: the ānearly workingā circuit, the ājust needs a weekendā code refactor, the 3D print that needs sanding, the costume that needs one final stitch, the repair you definitely meant to do months ago.
So weāre doing something about it.
Weāre hosting a Finish-a-thon, a one-day, community-powered mini hackathon dedicated to making real progress on the projects that have been sitting in a box, on a shelf, or in a Git branch called `final_final_v3`.
Whether itās coding, crafting, designing, writing, fixing, soldering, sewing, or sorting, this is your day to get it done (or at least get it properly moving again).
### Event Details
* **Date:** Saturday 24th of January
* **Time:** **11:00 AM to 7:00 PM**
* **Location:** TOG Hackerspace, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12, D12 CF6V
### And afterwards
After the Finish-a-thon weāll roll straight into our monthly social night, but this one will be a bit special, because itās also TOGās birthday. š
So: progress during the day, then a proper catch-up in the evening with the gang.

### Whatās the plan?
Nothing too formal. The whole point is momentum and community:
* **11:00 AM:** Arrive, grab a bench, tea/coffee, and settle in
* Share what youāre working on (or keep it quiet and just crack on, no pressure)
* Work through the day, ask questions, borrow a hand, offer a hand
* No prizes, just the satisfaction of progress, plus the usual TOG encouragement and problem-solving
### What can you work on?
Anything goes. If itās a thing you started and you want to push it forward, it belongs here:
* Squash that annoying bug in your project or open-source code
* Finish an electronics kit gathering dust
* Finally wire up the enclosure, label the panel, tidy the loom
* Repair something thatās been sitting in the āI must fix thatā pile
* Wrap up a design, write-up, or documentation youāve been meaning to publish
* Revive a project you love but stalled on
No project? Also grand. Thereās always someone whoād love a second pair of hands.

### What should you bring?
* Whatever parts, tools, and materials your project needs
* A laptop is usually a good shout
* TOG has plenty of tools and bits, but assume youāll take home what you bring (and any half-finished bits you create)
### No tickets this time
There are no tickets or registration for this event, just show up and join in.
If youāve any questions (or youāre not sure if your project idea fits), give us a shout and weāll point you in the right direction.
See you Saturday. Letās finish some things. š§āØ
Na Siúlóirà William Turner Exhibition: National Gallery of Ireland

Monthly Meetup in the pub
We will try to secure a table downstairs in the venue in order to keep the location consistent.
New people who know nothing about Linux are welcome and encouraged to attend, please don't be shy.
If you are new please feel free to approach one of the organisers, and we'd be only happy to help explain things as best as we can, we honestly don't mind and don't judge. We were new once ourselves :)
Please note that in general, these are adult friendly meetups, therefore, we are not responsible for those under 18 in attendance. We may have events targeted at children in the future.
As with any Meetup, please try to stick to your RSVP or change it to No if you can't come.
Tutorial 7 - Nearest Neighbors with scikit-learn
My name is Aurelie and I'm graduating with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Limerick.
I run monthly **machine learning** and **deep learning** tutorials in Dublin with a small group of people.
\*\*In this tutorial, we will build a **K-Nearest Neighbors** model to classify data into groups (neighbours) using the built-in algorithm from **Scikit-learn**. Together, we will walk through the full pipeline from data preprocessing to model training and evaluation. You will receive a jupyter notebook with reusable code showing all of these steps. No set up required, just a laptop and a google email address :)
**The tutorials are limited to 15 participants and you can reserve your spot either here or by emailing aureliem219@gmail.com. Please make sure to book as soon as possible, as the registration count on Meetup does not guarantee availability.**
**For more information about the tutorials:**
* The tutorials are interactive and will be conducted using **Jupyter notebooks** on **Google Colaboratory** (a free, cloud-based platform that lets us write and run code directly in the browser). While **Google Colaboratory** is free to use, tasks that require more computational power (such as training deep learning models) may benefit from GPU access. In that case, Google offers a once-off payment for around ā¬10 which can last several months depending on your usage.
Some familiarity with **Python** or other programming languages is helpful but not required. Everyone is welcome to join and learn at their own pace.
* The tutorial lasts for 1.5 hours.
* During the tutorial, I share the Jupyter notebook with participants so they can keep it for future reference. We go through the notebook step by step together and I do my best to answer any questions along the way.
* The notebook includes the complete code from data preparation to model training and evaluation. It can be reused or adapted for your own business needs or personal projects
* We will be working with a variety of **Python** libraries including **Scikit-learn**, **PyTorch**, **TensorFlow**, **Keras**, **Seaborn**, **Pandas** and **Matplotlib** and the **Hugging Face** framework. These tools will help us explore different machine learning and deep learning techniques using publicly available datasets.
* Each tutorial focuses on a different algorithm in depth. Topics covered include **linear regression**, **logistic regression**, **K-means clustering**, **decision trees**, **artificial neural networks (ANNs)**, **convolutional neural networks (CNNs)** for image classification, **object detection** and **natural language processing**. The goal is to break down each technique step by step, making it approachable and practical for real-world applications.
The tutorials take place at the **Camdem court hotel in Dublin 2** at **the bar or the restaurant** if the bar is full (coffees need to be ordered at the restaurant). It will run from **3 pm** to **4.30 pm**. **If the bar is busy ,we' ll meet at the restaurant.**
**Camdem court hotel**
**Camden Street Lower, Saint Kevin's, Dublin, D02 W086**
* The tutorials are a high-level practical introduction to machine learning and deep learning and the emphasis on understanding how we process the data , train and evaluate a model with Python. We won't cover the mathematics behind it however some tutorials may have mathematical formulas as part of the algorithm explanation and some tutorials might have more complex data preprocessing as it depends on the datasets and the task we are doing. However the tutorials focus on the practical part!
* *Payments need to be made in advance to secure your place and fees are non-refundable unless I need to cancel the event, in this case refunds will be made.*
