Montreal Tech Watch

You may recall the first post mentionning an event called blitzweekend, where the goal was to make a product within a very limited timespan, i.e. 2 days. We are now going forward, and have a date for the first “official” blitzweekend for Montreal, Nov 24th and 25th. Teams of 3 to 5 are invited for the event, and participants will then get to vote on the most “promising” product after the 2 days.

There is already a wiki page at barcamp.org and we have also setup a website, although there seems to be DNS propagation problems (?).

Now, we are inviting those are interested in the event for a meeting tomorrow wednesday at 6pm, at Laika (4040 bvd St-Laurent). We will talk about the organization, and also about another blitzweekend test session this upcoming weekend. Yes, you read it right, we want to test the concept again this weekend, to see if it’s really possible and if there are any other shortcomings. If you want to participate this weekend, then you should come up tomorrow at the meeting. The first session proved to be intense and productive*.

* this is the understatement of the day.
