			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This weekend, a hackathon was planned by <a href="http://montrealtechwatch.com">MontrealTechWatch</a> and <a href="http://wavo.me">Wavome</a> to get developers working on new technologies: nodejs, redis and mongodb. New technology startups in Montréal are built with nodejs, and with the popularity of the framework, the time was right to gather everyone in an event.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/33867562?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></p>
<p>Friday afternoon, we had 70 to 80 people for the presentations. To be fair, they were planned as workshops, but there wasn&#8217;t any room to plan a proper class and get 70 people getting their first node running. Nevertheless, presentations like James Duncan&#8217;s (@jamesaduncan) inspired everyone, on how nodejs gave new tools and new ways to build web-based tools. Other presentations like Olivier&#8217;s (@<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/oliv_oil">oliv_oil</a>) were more technical, while Christian Joudrey (@<a href="http://twitter.com/cjoudrey">cjoudrey</a>, <a href="http://nodemtl.com">nodemtl</a> group) did a beginner-friendly presentation on how you can build your first node app with the express framework. Gabriel Lespérance followed with a cool presentation about <a href="https://github.com/glesperance/node-rocket">RocketJS</a>, born out of wavome&#8217;s requirement for rapid development.</p>
<p>Even though it takes significant time to arrange all those presentations, it gave a warm welcome to attendees, and got them into the node spirit. Thanks to all the presenters, and also the different groups &amp; organizations who helped put together the line-up!</p>
<p>All in all, there were 8 groups working on different nodejs projects. There was a large team of 8 while there were also 3 projects with only 1 developer. At the end of the day, all teams had to present in front of 4 judges: Alexis Smirnov from RadialPoint (@<a href="http://twitter.com/alexissmirnov">alexissmirnov</a>) , James A Duncan from Joyent, Gabriel Lespérance (@<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/gablesperance">gablesperance</a>) from wavome, Will Stevens from Cloudops (@<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/willkite">willkite</a>), </p>
<div style="width:640px" id="__ss_10630593"> <strong style="display:block;margin:12px 0 4px"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/montrealtechwatch/hackmtl" title="#Hackmtl" target="_blank">#Hackmtl</a></strong> <iframe src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/10630593" width="640" height="534" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p>1. <strong>exsub</strong> was presented by <a href="http://github.com/meeech">meeech</a>. The project was done in collaboration with <a href="http://github.com/cheryltom">Cheryl</a> and Dov (@<a href="http://twitter.com/doooov">doooov</a>)</p>
<p>exsub gives you a bird&#8217;s eye view of what&#8217;s happening on github. Select the projects you are interested in, and it will send you email updates every week, in a more readable way. Mitch said he&#8217;s following a lot of projects on github and one of the challenges is being able to keep up with all the commits, the branches and the tags. The team spent time in the hackathon to do the smart aggregation.</p>
<p>exsub presented to the audience a great lickable UI, although it was not immediately usable since the team didn&#8217;t have the time to implement email.</p>
<p>2. <strong>fus.io </strong>a dead-simple file-sharing too, was the winner of the hackathon, and goes home with the $300 prize. Congrats!</p>
<p>The project is by Arlen Stalwick (<a href="github.com/astalwick">github</a> &#8211; <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/astalwick">twitter</a>), and born out of the frustration of sending large files over the Internet. It presents the user with a simple upload button, and as soon as the file selected, it gives the user a shareable url. Users of the service don&#8217;t even have to wait for the upload to finish &#8212; downloads will begin right away.</p>
<p>For large files (think 2GB and more), usually you have to wait for a couple of hours or more, and it&#8217;s frustrating for professionals who get interrupted in their workflow. The judges were also impressed that fus.ly was Arlen&#8217;s first node projects</p>
<p>3. <strong>BrainTripping</strong> is an artistic interpretation of famous people&#8217;s words, with the user invited to mix words of what Jesus, Charles Darwin or Paul Graham said and wrote. <a href="http://github.com/mhuebert">Matthew Huebert</a> (@geoshift) had a first glimpse of the idea back at the Disrupt Hackathon, and amazingly, found a team of linguists at the hackathon, who worked on the corpus, data analysis. Additional programmers (such as Martin Provencher) worked on the front and back-end.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fair to say it was the most creative project at the hackathon, and generated amazement and aah and ooh from the audience, but it wasn&#8217;t clear for the judges what was done during the hackathon vs what was already done.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Node Gamification</strong> is a collaboration between <a href="https://github.com/JeromeParadis">Jerome Paradis</a> from Buyosphere and George Peristerakis, researcher and LeSite developer. By writing simple rules, it&#8217;s possible to add a gamification component to an existing application. Simple user actions for instance would give points to a user who&#8217;d be pushed through a leaderboard &#8212; an interesting ux pattern to encourage good behaviour in a web app.</p>
<p>Jerome Paradis said it&#8217;s a system that they want to develop at Buyosphere, and could by used by other startups like wavo.me. Judges said though that the service would be better architectured as a SaaS service</p>
<p>5. <strong>LiveChat</strong>. is by <a href="http://github.com/LastRose">LastRose</a>. Like many developers at the event, it was his first nodejs project. As opposed to popular live chat systems using a database or a file text, LiveChat is using epxress, and allows the user to have multiple 1 to 1 chats. Groups are also implemented. Needless to say, it was impressive to see a fully developed system in just one day.</p>
<p>6. <strong><a href="http://orgnz.it">Orgnz.it</a></strong> was one of the two biggest teams (the other one being BrainTripping)&#8230; Orgnz.it gets your shit done, collaboratively. In its current state, it&#8217;s a spreadsheet with a conversation element added to each cell, making it a super powerful tool to track to-dos.</p>
<p>Orgnz.it uses socket.io, mongodb and node. While the core of the system was already done a while ago, the team really got together saturday to give the app some meat &amp; bones. <a href="http://github.com/errows">Marc-Antoine Ross</a> (@MarcAntoineRoss) said they&#8217;re also working on a google spreadsheet script, and also on columns with data types.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s great to see an immediately usable product. The judges had an interesting comment though &#8212; what if orgnz.it provided an extension or an API so that it adds features and functionality on top of existing tools, instead of competing with users&#8217;s existing tools?</p>
<p>7. <strong>Twitter Wave js</strong> lets you see what people are typing, before they even click on the Tweet button. It&#8217;s one of those creative what-if apps that amused everyone at the hackathon and provided a fun demo. The team learned a lot during the hackathon and worked its way with all the libraries.</p>
<p>Twitter Wave is <a href="https://github.com/niclupien">Nicolas Lupien</a>, <a href="http://github.com/kimpettersen">Kim Pettersen</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/dreur">Benjamin Boudreau</a>. Thanks to all 3 to making the trip all the way from Sherbrooke!</p>
<p>8. <strong>Logizo Web</strong> is <a href="https://github.com/SoapyIllusions">Alex Angelini</a>&#8216;s project, a Live log from a distributed system. You can track different local and server logs. Other cool features includes live updates, and search. It uses socket.io and backbone</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for coming to the hackathon and congrats for all the work.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://radialpoint.com">RadialPoint</a>, <a href="http://cloudops.com">Cloudops</a>, <a href="http://wavo.me">Wavome</a>, and <a href="http://joyent.com">Joyent</a> for sponsoring.</p>
<p>Thanks also for <a href="http://kolabria.com">Kolabria</a>, <a href="http://teamup.com">Team Up</a> and <a href="http://founderfuel.com">Founderfuel</a> for helping co-organizing. Have a look of what they are offering!</p>
<p>And last but not least, thanks to the amazing community (<a href="http://mtlstartuptalent.com">MTLStartupTalent</a> team, <a href="http://fringedev.com">FringeDev</a>, <a href="http://10gen.com">10gen</a>, <a href="http://github.com">github</a>, <a href="http://montrealtechwatch.com">MontrealTechWatch</a> )</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>L&#8217;Agence Métropolitaine de Transport <a href="http://www.newswire.ca/fr/story/893849/l-amt-offre-l-acces-a-ses-donnees-et-encourage-le-developpement-d-applications-mobiles">annonce aujourd&#8217;hui</a> l&#8217;ouverture de leurs données, dans le but d&#8217;en rendre l&#8217;utilisation possible par des tierces parties. C&#8217;est une autre bonne nouvelle pour l&#8217;ouverture des données publiques, un combat mené par <a href="http://MontrealOuvert.net">MontrealOuvert</a> depuis 1 an et demie.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amt.qc.ca/developpeurs/">Une page spéciale conçue pour développeurs</a> permet le téléchargement de données concernant les trains de banlieue, spécialement les horaires et aussi la géolocalisation des tracées. Avec ces données, on peut concevoir des applications qui permettent de calculer des trajets, que ce soit uniquement en train, mais aussi en conjonction avec d&#8217;autres moyens de transport, comme le vélo ou la voiture.</p>
<p>En parallèle, on parle aussi de certaines données qui seraient ouvertes par Bixi <a href="http://www.livinglabmontreal.org/tiki-index.php?page=TranspoCampMTL">lors de #TranspoCampMTL</a>, le hackathon prévue ce jeudi à la Maison du développement durable, qui veut rassembler tous les développeurs. Le hackathon se veut aussi ouvert aux designers d&#8217;interfaces et aux idéateurs. Allez voir la page de l&#8217;événement, quelques pistes sont proposées!</p>
<p>Déjà la fin de semaine passée, une équipe de développeurs s&#8217;étaient donnée <a href="http://hackmtl-dec2011.eventbrite.com/">rendez-vous</a> à Station-C pour travailler sur OpenTripPlanner, avec des versions pour le web et pour Android.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="hackathon montrealouvert" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/388412_319732484713230_155991061087374_1234279_1692097421_n.jpg" alt="" width="640" /></p>
<p>Avec Open Trip Planner, on peut planifier un trajet en vélo, en tenant compte des paramètres comme l&#8217;élévation ou le niveau de danger. On a pu voir la démonstration pour San Francisco, et ils veulent proposer les mêmes fonctionnalités bientôt pour Montréal. Il ne manque plus que les données de la STM pour le métro et l&#8217;autobus pour développer un planificateur complet de trajets!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Il y a cette semaine 2 événements qu&#8217;il faudra mettre sur l&#8217;agenda si vous êtes intéressé(e)s par l&#8217;ouverture publique des données.</p>
<p>Demain soir, un atelier citoyen est organisé au <a href="http://artere.coop/">café l&#8217;artère coop</a>, 7000 avenue du Parc, avec 4 intervenants principaux: Karl Dubost (<a href="http://www.la-grange.net/">blogue</a>), Diane Mercier, de la Ville de Montréal, Sébastien Pierre, un des 4 fondateurs de <a href="http://montrealouvert.net">MontrealOuvert</a>, et André Trépanier, intervenant social dans le quartier Parc Ex.</p>
<p>L&#8217;atelier commence à 19h et l&#8217;atelier est ouvert à tous. Au programme, pas de design ou de développement de nouvelles applications, mais une refléxion et des discussions sur ce que ces nouvelles données et nouveaux outils peuvent apporter à chacun. Les organisateurs de l&#8217;événement font aussi un parallèle (à demi-mots) avec le mouvement Occupy et le thème de la corruption, présentant le mouvement des données ouvertes comme une chance pour le citoyen de rétablir l&#8217;équilibre des pouvoirs.</p>
<p>Voir <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/270204126348156/">l&#8217;événement sur Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>Samedi dans la journée, un autre événement est prévu, nommé <a href="http://hackmtl-dec2011.eventbrite.com/">#hackmtl 3.1</a>. Ce rassemblement se veut la suite logique du dernier hacakthon: puisqu&#8217;une journée est nettement insuffisante pour développer une application de données ouvertes, on propose aux équipes et aussi à toute personne de travailler, améliorer, et aider les projets existants. Au programme, on a remtl.ca (qui veut suivre les sites décontaminés et contaminés à Montréal), Kof kof (qui propose aux montréalais d&#8217;avoir une alerte si la pollution aérienne dépasse un seuil critique), <a href="http://mamairie.ca">mamairie.ca</a> (qui vous donne les informations de base à propos de vos élus ainsi qu&#8217;une suivi des nouvelles de presse), et d&#8217;autres comme le fameux <a href="http://openparliament.ca">openparliement.ca</a> qui vous permet de suivre ce qui se passe à Ottawa.</p>
<p>#hackmtl 3.1 sera ce samedi et se passera à <a href="http://station-c.com">Station-C</a>, 5369 bvd St-Laurent, et comme les événements passés, l&#8217;entrée est gratuite (contribution demandée si vous voulez à manger)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Un des projets mis en valeur <a href="http://montrealtechwatch.com/2011/11/19/montrealouvert-organise-le-plus-grand-hackathon-a-montreal-en-partenariat-avec-la-ville-de-montreal/">lors de #Hackmtl</a> était <a href="http://montrealtechwatch.com/2011/11/19/montrealouvert-organise-le-plus-grand-hackathon-a-montreal-en-partenariat-avec-la-ville-de-montreal/">MaMairie.ca</a>. Bien que MaMairie.ca n&#8217;ait pas été entièrement développé pendant le hackathon, le projet a quand même profité de l&#8217;événement pour avancer, avoir des conseils et support des développeurs et citoyens présents, et bien sûr tirer profit des 150 personnes présentes pour lancer le projet. </p>
<p>Vous pouvez dès maintenant <a href="http://mamairie.ca">consulter le site</a>, et trouver l&#8217;élu de votre arrondissement. Dans <a href="http://mamairie.ca/boroughs/plateau">le cas du plateau</a>, on voit immédiatement le maire, ainsi que les différents conseillers. Si on visite <a href="http://mamairie.ca/people/elaine-ayotte">le profil d&#8217;un élu</a>, on trouve aussi d&#8217;autres informations de base comme le parti, numéro de téléphone, email, réseaux sociaux comme page facebook, comités et autres groupes associés. </p>
<p>Le plus intéressant cependant est une liste chronologique qui suit de près les actions des élus. Le site peut trouver les mentions de l&#8217;élu dans les médias en ligne (journaux, twitter, fils de presse), ce qui peut être utile en temps d&#8217;éléctions, mais aussi dans des cas quotidiens, quand il s&#8217;agit d&#8217;interpeller un élu. </p>

<p>Avec des outils comme mamairie, bien de questions se posent, entre des élus qui vont se sentir observés dans leurs faits et gestes, mais aussi pour les citoyens qui ont maintenant l&#8217;outil idéal pour s&#8217;impliquer au niveau des politiques municipales. Il y a une similarité entre cet outil et <a href="http://theyworkforyou.co.nz/">TheyWorkForYou.co.nz</a>, un des premiers outils qui permet de suivre toutes les interventions au parlement, et qui a forcé la bonne gouvernance et la responsabilisation des parlementaires. À l&#8217;époque, les données n&#8217;étaient pas accessibles facilement et TheyWorkForYou devait &#8220;scraper&#8221; tant bien que mal le site officiel, un parallèle intéressant avec le mouvement <a href="http://montrealouvert.net">MontrealOuvert</a> ici.</p>
<p>MaMairie est une initiative de <a href="http://nordouvert.ca/">Nord Ouvert</a>, un groupe qui veut proposer des outils interactifs pour améliorer la démocratie. Ils ont aussi <a href="http://nordouvert.ca/projets/">lancé d&#8217;autres projets</a> qui mettent à la disposition de tout le monde différents outils, tous très innovateurs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dominic Savoie (<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/phzbox">@phzbox </a>), also known for the <a href="http://gosuway.com">gosuway project,</a>, has released the moka python library this weekend. The library is aimed at python developers who find themselves working with lists on several lines, or wishing of a way their code were more readable.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a code simple on how you can chain 8 operations, and it still write it elegantly and easy to read:</p>

<p>The project was was on the <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3256248">front page of hacker news</a> yesterday, for those who check out that aggregator.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phzbox.com/moka/index.html">Check out the documentation</a> and also <a href="https://github.com/phzbox/moka/">the github repo</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://montrealouvert.net">MontrealOuvert</a> et les données ouvertes étaient à l&#8217;honneur cette fin de semaine, avec plus de 150 personnes inscrites pour réfléchir, partager, collaborer et construire de nouvelles applications, un événement rendue possible<a href="http://montrealtechwatch.com/2011/10/28/montreal-open-data/"> grâce à l&#8217;annonce de la Ville il y a quelques semaines</a>. Voir autant de monde se réveiller un samedi matin pour &#8220;travailler&#8221; et programmer est un événement rare.</p>
<p>L&#8217;esprit de partage y est pour beaucoup, à la manière des logiciels libres. Pour ceux qui suivent le milieu depuis quelques années, on avait des événements avec un esprit similaire, lors des Barcamps et aussi pour le RococoCamp. Vous trouvez des rêveurs, des designers, et aussi une bonne poignée d&#8217;étudiants et de citoyens à l&#8217;esprit libre. On trouve aussi de nouveaux venus, comme la Gazette de Montréal, OpenFile, Hack&amp;Hackers, et la communauté de développeurs MontrealPython. Pour la programmation par contre, entre les ateliers, les <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html">interruptions</a>, c&#8217;est moins facile de trouver assez du temps pour construire quelque chose de substantiel. 1 journée ce n&#8217;est passez! C&#8217;est une bonne occasion par contre pour discuter des formats des données, des implémentations et aussi rencontrer une équipe avec lequel on peut travailler plus tard.</p>

<p>Quelques projets mis en avant pendant la journée:</p>
<ul>
<li>montrealphotos.org aggrège les photos de la ville,</li>
<li>un service nommé Kof Kof qui annonce les pics de pollution via Twitter,</li>
<li>un service qui montre des statistiques et la popularité de votre nom de famille ,</li>
<li>un moteur de recherche de livres qui permet donc de consulter la disponibilités des livres à distance,</li>
<li>remtl montre les sites contaminés de votre quartier sur une carte,</li>
<li>un app qui suit les budgets et les interventions des élus,</li>
<li>et d&#8217;autres!</li>
</ul>
<p>Grâce aux outils disponibles en ligne et grâce à l&#8217;ingénuité des participants, chaque projet a pu faire une démonstration solide de tous ces applications.</p>
<p>Félicitatations à tous les participations, à chacun des membres de l&#8217;équipe de MontréalOuvert, et le leadership Ville de Montréal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a bit of last-minute, and is targeted at a niche but active and growing community in Montreal, those who are working in computer security.</p>
<p>MTLSec is organizing <a href="http://blog.mtlsec.com/2011/11/mtlsec-novembre.html">an informal get together</a> at Vieux-Dublin this evening. You can talk about the latest hackfest in Quebec city which got the team Amish Security from ETS winning, or talk about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act">SOPA</a>, which is making rounds <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/sopa/">on the Internet</a> today.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="hackfest" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/298075_10150445548159359_786469358_10407211_1034684782_n.jpg" alt="" width="640" /></p>
<p>On another note, if you are feeling less knowledgeable in infosec, you can also go to the co-founders event <a href="http://twtvite.com/cofounders26">today</a> at notman house</p>
