devLab Montreal (@devlabMtl) are now holding weekly hacking events. The series is clearly targeted for geek and developers, an opportunity for them to hack all evening, on their own ideas, without boring managers or crazy designers

Renoir Boulanger (@renoirb) and Stephan Champagne are the 2 co-founders of devLab Montreal. As developers, one of their dreams were to be able to gather other geeks in a dedicated space.
