FreeHackers3 - Sugar + unconference format

Mar
07
2009
12:30

FreeHackers is a free, open event targeted at programmers, hackers and everyone interested in experimenting in new technologies. 

Schedule:

  • 12h30pm Sébastien Pierre, founder of datalicious, is going to present Sugar, a new programming language meant to replace Javascript for front-end user interfaces
  • A workshop by Sébastien Pierre, covering Sugar, will follow for one hour or so

 

The event will follow the unconference format, which means attendees will be asked to participate, lend a hand at co-organizing, present, or organize a workshop. We should have a couple more workshops alongside Sébastien's workshop. 

For the remaining 3 or 4 hours, there will be free hacking. Anyone is free to code/hack/work on his/her project of choice.

Any technology, programming language, platform, software or hardware is welcomed. The focus is on community, experimentation, hacking etc. You can view it as an intense R&D session, an opportunity to network or exchange, visit the bolidea offices, or just be curious and see what's hot in Montréal currently.

Organizers: Heri (MontrealTechWatch), Alok Mohindra (Arkalumen), Bolidea

  • MontrealTechWatch covers Technology and Innovation in Montréal
  • Arkalumen markets a new revolutionary LED light, much more efficient, programmable, and more powerful than any LED light available currently. 
  • Bolidea generously provides the space, with the goal to connect with local hackers, brilliant programmers and software Engineers
