Dreamhack is coming around to Montreal this year and a few members are going.

Who's up to meet up? Bring your favorite board.

I'm up for another meet, but I don't think the dates are very realistic.

You've got to necro the old thread to give everyone an alert and link to this thread. I totally missed this the first time around.

yea go for the necro. Maybe boop all the last visitors too!



EDOT: changed the dates. Last year was early april. Exams are mid to late april so that's not a possibility. Either early april or early may should be good.

I'd be down for mid-March.

I can't help but wonder if we would get some Toronto people if it were in Ottawa? But I think I'm the only one in Ottawa.

But the bars here in MTL!

But seriously for a student, taking the train out for the weekend in the middle of projects time isn't a great option for me.

I can try for mid-March, but with a three week vacation planned for May I might not have very many vacation days left to make it work.

I'd suspect it's on a weekend, if that helps.

If there's any keyboards in my sig that people want to try, let me know.

I lived in Ottawa for two years or so a couple years ago. One of my favorite places I've lived.

Hi everyone. I have been pretty much away from GeekHack for a few months. I don't know if I will be able to attend this meeting, but I would be interested. I will keep an eye on it as much as I can and would appreciate if I could get a pm (to get a mail) once the date will be set.


If I can come I could bring the same model F as last year and a "new" project AKA an Hall effect keyboard in a bad shape I won't have had the time to work on :)

I have been pretty MIA from the forum because I have been working on a bunch of side projects in my free time.

I am still available to host like I did last time at the same place. I will review what the event schedule looks like for mid March and post some options for when the space is free.

Halvy, what dates are you here?

I'm still coordinating my plans, I'll keep an eye on this and let y'all know as I figure stuff out. It will be mid-late March when I'm in Ottawa.

Oh yeah, I definitely think more people "from Toronto" would prefer if this took place in Ottawa. :))

So is nothing happening in 2016, or should we try at around end of August when people have finished their holidays and are winding down for Fall semesters etc.?

If this is going to happen this year GL1TCH3D needs to update the OP and then we need get a poll for potential weekends and then check if swill can still host. There is a small chance I can host at Ubisoft Montreal but there's a lot of security stuff I'd have to sort out first.

Both!

But it seems like the meetup won't really happen. I'd be fine bringing my keyboards for a short meetup though. Only really have the gon mobik 55g clears, Octagon v2 with lubed clears (stock), my golbat hhkb with gateron browns and my hhkb type-s

I'd be interested too, but it'd be nice to have a large enough meetup. I'm also interested in going to Dreamhack but my gaming friends either work or are away that weekend.

I refuse to let this thread die. Let's plan something for 2017.

If the people who planned the original meetup no longer want to do it, they can post what went into the logistics and I can help organize in 2017 instead.

Sorry, I wasn't at the original meetup. Where's your space and how far in advance can you book it?

Here is my venue: http://centre.cloud.ca/

We will not have to rent it, I can get the space for free.  I am guessing we will want to do a weekend day.  There is a calendar at the bottom of the website and we try to keep it up to date with the bookings of the space.

Let me know if you have any questions.  :)

Dreamhack next year is Sept 9th/10th, depending on how many of us are high schoolers/uni students/have young ones that might be an issue conflicting with the start of the school year. I could make that date, but don't know about the rest of you!

Alternatively, we could throw up a poll of the last two weeks of March/April/first two weeks of May to figure out a date then?
Title: Re: Montreal Dreamhack Meetup - August
Post by: Sifo on Fri, 16 December 2016, 22:40:56
will be at dreamhack probably, but last time i went to DH I had 0 time at all to do anything. I'll probably book a few extra days to hang out this time but if it's during dreamhack hours i probably won't make it !
Title: Re: Montreal Dreamhack Meetup - August
Post by: clappingcactus on Sat, 17 December 2016, 13:56:56
Yeah that sounds reasonable. Well we could do the Friday before dreamhack (unless dreamhack shenanigans start on friday?). Alternatively, spring time like a bunch of the posts above had asked for.

Is there anyone who would like to make it, but can't during the spring?
