Our Schedule

We'll be scheduling wiimote wiikend activities according to Open Space Technology. If you've ever been to a foo-camp or a bar-camp that is generally how they run their gatherings (in my limited experience, at least). What this means is that very little will be scheduled ahead of time. We'll start out with an introduction to the concept, and a big chart of time/space slots. Then YOU propose how to fill them. It sounds like chaos, but the last time we tried this everything ran more smoothly than we dared to hope.

For folks who are planning to drop in, you're welcome anytime, but you can probably most smoothly join the activities if you arrive during a break.

We'll have lunch brought in on Monday, and provide caffeine and snacks during the weekend. There are tons of tasty and affordable lunch options within a couple blocks of the workshop.

Friday

5ish till 11ish. Beers, snacks and MarioKart Wii at Amanda's place. Metro Sherbrooke or St. Laurent, not too far from Berri UQAM either.

3421 Ave. de l'Hôtel de Ville, corner of Sherbrooke.

After-afterwards, some of the excellent folks at Artivistic will be doing a performance at Le Milieu, 6545 Durocher (Metro Parc). This is pretty close to the free workshop apartment, actually. This performance/shindig culminates the TURN*ON/technésexual workshop, organized by the talented and lovely Micha Cardenas and Elle Mehrmand. It's an excellent cross-pollination opportunity, as they're also doing some interesting stuff with wiimotes (a little) and arduinos (a bit more)... though perhaps also some other equipment that we haven't explicitly planned on using.
