(note: the conference during the day is not free but the DemoCamp that
is being held at night and being sponsored by CUSEC is a free event
for ALL.)


WANT TO DEMO AT THE EVENT? (you know you wanna)

Of course you do!  DemoCampCUSEC is being held at the same location as
CUSEC (the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference) and
open to all including entrepreneurs, students and professionals.

It is a great opportunity for you to get people interested (buzz) in
what you are working on, to get valuable feedback and a great way to
attract people to join your project (if you need help).  Plus, it is a
great opportunity to practice your presentation skills!

Their is only two rules for presenters:
Rule #1: No powerpoints allowed. Why no .ppt?  Well, do you have
working software or don't you?
Rule #2: Demos are not a second over 15 minutes each.  Short and sweet!

Email john at kopanas.com if you want to present.  Don't be shy (2 demos
already confirmed)!

BONUS POINT: WANT TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANY FUTURE EVENTS IN MONTREAL?

As a Montrealer I always found it hard to both find and keep track of
upcoming events for tech geeks in Montreal.  I would love to be able
to follow what usergroup meetings, presentations, conferences and
camps are coming up in Montreal.  I could just sign-up to every
mailing list I come across but I just don't have that kind of time.

So I decided to start a mailing list which will only send out one
email (max 2) per upcoming event and will be moderated so no junk mail
will come through.

You can easily sign up here:
http://groups.google.com/group/montreal-tech-events

(if you want me to post your event on the mailing list just email me the post)
