Success Metrics
Our main goal was to get volunteers to set up a permanent Mozilla Ireland community. In this regard, it was a success. We have 3 people who have taken on the role, and 5-6 others interested in initial communication to find out more and jump in to help at some point.
We are now in the process of setting up the web site, mozillaireland.org. See bug 701646
