<p>Could cinema regenerate through the exploration, by film or
cine-makers, of emerging audiovisual scripting languages? Could the
editing and compositing suites progessively make room for <a href="http://processing.org/">Processing</a>-like environment? And if so, what changes?</p>

<p>This is where User-Centric Web Development comes, the next step after agile development. User-Centric development (also called Customer Development Engineering) relies on getting requirements and lists of new features from users and visitors of your website.</p>
<p>This way of development is especially suited for those of you who are launching new web “startups”, or for the readers who already have an existing audience, but who do not know what kind of new features to focus on next. In rough economic conditions, it also insures you have a website which totally fits your users’ needs, instead of guessing of what might work for your users and what won’t. If you have an existing forum with thousands of registered members for instance, and not sure what kind of features to offer to users next, customer development engineering is the best way to do it.</p>

<p>For those wondering about what's next and what's left to do for techentreprise, here are a few clues:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li>the application is being updated every day, with bugs fixes, and also small incremental fixes. The messages/inbox section practically works, although there are still lots to be desired</li>
<li>the "Ventures" section should re-designed to become a "Groups" section. It will be much more useful for members. For instance, someone could start an Amazon Services group, and they can then use the group to launch meetups, discuss, gather new members, send regular newsletters, etc. </li>
<li>there are plans to make the interface bilingual or even better, capable of handling multiple languages. Serious thought should be done for this though... we need something that scales well with low overhead. </li>
<li>trackbacks for posts, with other blogs</li>
<li>a widget for people to embed on their blogs</li>
<li>a visualization tool for the homepage </li>
<li>a nifty log plus a couple of illustrations</li>
<li>the application is still considered alpha and <em>top secret</em>. There are about 2 weeks left before launch, which shall be a beta launch. Ideally, the launch would be with a Toronto/Waterloo/Paris/Dallas (?) network. There are still no milestone for official non-beta launch. </li>
<li>there are still mechanics and processes to be fine-tuned to make this a useful product for anyone signing-up (drum roll...)</li>
</ul>
<div>I am aware of the small graphic problems as well as shortcomings in the interface. Don't hesitate to enter a request or submit feedback with the uservoice widget on the right. </div>
<div></div>
<div>Thanks to everyone who tried out techentreprise, and thanks for sticking up with us, we'll make it a great ride!</div>

<p>There are many developers groups in montreal, <a href="http://montrealonrails.com">MontrealOnRails</a>, <a href="http://montrealpython.org">MontrealPython</a>, <a href="http://phpquebec.org">phpQuebec</a>, Drupal etc. comes to my mind. They've got monthly meetups, if not open developer events. </p>
<p>Entrepreneurs on the other hand have StartupDrinks, Tech Breakfasts, <a href="http://www.mtlnewtech.com">new tech meetup</a>, Founders & Funders, StartupCamps, which certainly fills more than necessary the calendar. </p>
<p>On the other hand, there is no such thing as "Web Design community" in Montreal. There are occassional events such as Pecha Kucha (which has a very broad definition), places like Station C or Laika, but there are no central website to turn to when you are looking for an icon design or an illustrator, or if you need someone in UXP. </p>
<p>Of course, instead of ranting, I could cover it. But I really wish a professional working in this field, meeting daily other designers, and tracking what's up in Montreal would do this. Or designers are by nature egocentrical, and just care about their works?</p>
