  <description>&lt;p&gt;FreeHackers is a free, open event targeted at programmers, hackers and everyone interested in experimenting in new technologies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Schedule:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;12h30pm S&amp;eacute;bastien Pierre, founder of &lt;a href=&quot;http://datalicious.com&quot;&gt;datalicious&lt;/a&gt;, is going to present &lt;strong&gt;Sugar&lt;/strong&gt;, a new programming language meant to replace Javascript for front-end user interfaces&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A workshop by S&amp;eacute;bastien Pierre, covering Sugar, will follow for one hour or so&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event will follow the &lt;strong&gt;unconference&lt;/strong&gt; 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 S&amp;eacute;bastien's workshop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any technology, programming language, platform, software or hardware is welcomed. The focus is on &lt;strong&gt;community&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;experimentation&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;hacking&lt;/strong&gt; etc. You can view it as an intense R&amp;amp;D session, an opportunity to network or exchange, visit the bolidea offices, or just be curious and see what's hot in Montr&amp;eacute;al currently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Organizers: Heri (MontrealTechWatch), Alok Mohindra (Arkalumen), Bolidea&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MontrealTechWatch&lt;/strong&gt; covers Technology and Innovation in Montr&amp;eacute;al&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arkalumen&lt;/strong&gt; markets a new revolutionary LED light, much more efficient, programmable, and more powerful than any LED light available currently.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bolidea&lt;/strong&gt; generously provides the space, with the goal to connect with local hackers, brilliant programmers and software Engineers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
