Sun Day Brunch

What's interesting about Montréal, as a hub city, is that it doesn't have a lot of geeks in it. Yes, we do have people working in tech, and yes there are people with geeky interests. But compared to other large cities that are full of universities, there really aren't that many. And worse, there aren't many jobs for these people, so geeks aren't even encouraged to stay.
Since I'm not one to complain about things, I'd like to point out that interesting things are afoot.
This evening, the Canadian Undergraduate Software Engineering Conference will be hosting DemoCamp CUSEC 1. A bunch of techie friends of mine will attend and I hope you do too.
What's a DemoCamp? It's an evening of presentations where you're encouraged to show projects that you're working on and discuss the things you're shown. Everybody has a great time since it's all about participating in a community of peers who are active.
To sweeten the deal, I'll even be presenting a talk. It's entitled:
The stupidity of crowds
- or -
You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette
Don't worry if you don't know anything about software engineering. After all, I'm not even an undergraduate so why should I follow convention? Rest assured, though, I'm going to be pretty geeky.
