The Quebec Free Software Week (SQIL), for instance, has event in Chicoutimi, Québec, Sherbrooke, Drummondville, Trois-Rivière, Laval, etc. Merci encore ! Thank you Heri, you da man :)

Thanks Heri! I'm so honoured to be the subject of a MTW post! And pleased too that you point out how much open source is important! I think, it's so obvious that open source projects are (most of the time) of greater quality then closed ones. People involved in these care about the product. If they don't, they leave! In the closed source world, when you don't believe in the product, you stop caring and your product becomes a brainless, boring piece of shit without any personality! No wonder 37signals has built such an amazing team and products, they hire the best Rails contributors! That's the best hiring strategy ever! Wow! Thanks Heri!
