LugRadio

The LugRadio team were invited to Skycon 2007 in Limerick, Ireland to cover the conference, talk about stuff, drink beer, nearly get deported for persistently making jokes about the fair sons of Erin in conjunction with pigs, and generally enjoy the hospitality of our Irish compatriots. A big thanks to Laura Czajkowski, the president of Skynet, and the whole Skycon team for inviting us and making the stay a happy one! We took the chance to interview a few of the people there about their talks and what they thought of the conference. Roll on next year!

There will also be videos of our individual talks available from the Skycon team at some point, and a certain amount of videoing of the actual recording of the show went on as well; keep your eyes on the Skycon site for all that.
