[Upcoming] Blitzweekend, June 4th @ Notman House

By Heri Jun 2nd 2011 in Development, hackmtl

If you are a programmer, a designer or an entrepreneur, you’re invited this upcoming Saturday at Notman House! The goal is to get together, socialize, talk about applications, but most importantly, we’ve got a format so that you launch something at the end of the day, with most blitzweekenders using the event to advance significanlty on their project.

Although we announced strict rules on the Blitzweekend site, the event evolved quickly, from the attendees feedback, and we’ve now decided to make it a more flexible and open event, without all the ~~fascist~~crazy rules. The focus is still on building something, with attendees having each 5mn at the end to share what they’ve done.

With those updates, we believe we can open up the core solid group and welcome up to 15-20 developers/designers/entrepreneurs.

MTW and iWeb are backing the event so we’ll get free pizza and also a server to test your applications. If you have friends, if you know developers who would be interested in the event, tell them about Blitzweekend.
