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.
