+# Fullstack Fiesta Announced + Weekly Picks
+
+Yesterday, we announced **Fullstack Fiesta** for later in the month.
+
+This aims to be Ireland's biggest web developer party.
+
+Every so often, I like to organize social events with Codú, and this is one of the biggest ones I've organized.
+
+On Friday, the 27th of September, get together with hundreds of Ireland's developers, from fresh-faced juniors to CTOs, all in one place.
+
+But here's the kicker -- no boring presentations or awkward small talk.
+
+If you are in Dublin on the 27th [here's the link](https://www.meetup.com/codu-community/events/303194835) to RSVP before all the spots are taken.
+
+**Side note:** If you can't make it to Dublin, We are aiming to expand further outside of Dublin very soon, so if you'd like to be a Codú ambassador and host events in your city with our support, let me know.
