Date change: For our university friends…

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I got feedback from people attending university saying April 4-6 was not the best time for them to take part in the Weekend…and I remember how it was.

So, we’re postponing the weekend to the beginning for May (2-4 or 9-11) so it better fits with their schedule.

We’ll keep you posted.

Just a quick reminder that Blitzweekend Montréal is next weekend. The organizers are looking for a team (2-4 members) from Ottawa. If you are interested, register here.

Weekend Update

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Hi everybody,

we are looking for a venue for the Weekend. We don’t need anything complicated:

  • A place big enough where we can get around 50 people working togheter (if possible, a big room where we can hold meetings and smaller ones to work in).
  • A place easy to get to (either downtown or close to the Transitway?)
  • Available from Friday around 5PM to Sunday around 10PM.

In exchange, we are ready to advertise any organization that will provide us with a working space on our website (this one and the weekend’s app one).

Write us if you got something.

Blitzweekend Montréal

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

The folks in Montréal are organizing a Blitzweekend, similar to Startup Weekends, Bar Camp and Ruby Rumbles. The difference is that teams of 1 to 8 members work a single project, by opposition to the whole group. The weekend will run from February 29th to March 2nd.
