Ok, the Montreal meeting is all set, we have a nice local (a school class) reserved for saturday november the 1st (the second day of the Amsterdam conference).
I’m also trying to find someone with a digital cam so we can hook up with people from over there and on the net like last time. (if any of you has one, please contact me by e-mail).
Like last time, people who can bring laptops and show some of their work (code, art, …) are very welcome. We’ll have a projector to give everyone present a good show.
However, two things are different from last time:
I’m going to have to make a list of people that are going to come (it’s in a school on week ends, so we can’t obviously just let the door wide open). So please confirm with me either in this thread or via e-mail.
We only have the local (or locals, if enough people confirm) from 9h to 17h. So we’ll have to find something else to do after that (we could find a restaurant somewhere and have a hangout there) or something else.
I’m in… and I’m toting passengers (number yet to be determined, minimum of 1 additional to me, maximum between 3 and 5). I’ll have more information within the next few days.
Indeed I shall. My van was recently beat-up in car accident, though, so we’ll have to see what kinda vehicle I tote myself up there in. Are you coming? If you are, I might be convinced to [slightly] detour through PA or NY so we can have ourselves a convoy.
i cant go. i dont have the money this year, wish i could though, it was so fun last time i went. so unless i can make some cash quick im out. sorry guys.
Another thing: How many people would be interested in having a 2 days meeting, saturday and sunday. I know that for some of you this means finding a place to sleep, but it would also mean not having to make the round trip in the same day.
Thanks for hosting the meeting in Montreal! It was great fun. I’m sorry that we (me and the two other guys from Virginia) couldn’t stay for “Round 2” later in the evening. We had to get back on the road and drive back.
Again, thanks for hosting everything. I’ve learned a number of cool tricks that I’m going to try and apply right now.
Yeah, Now I still owe you five bucks candian for the pizza at lunch! and Theeth told us all the ‘secret’ plans for future blender versions . can’t say more because its so secret.
Seriously, we missed you at the second round, But I’m glad you got back to Virginia OK. And thanks to Theeth and the other Montreal blenderheads for having us, it was quite a blast.
