Montreal Code Sprint 2011

2011-02-23T14:03:20Z

Wiki-Jadams: /* Participation */

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger problems (as done in previous years at the [[New York Code Sprint 2010]] and [[Toronto Code Sprint 2009]]).

We have started a [[Montreal Code Sprint 2011 Agenda]] page for preliminary planning of tasks.

== Timing ==

Dates: Tuesday-Friday, March 15-18, from approximately 9am-4pm

== Venue ==

Communauté Métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM)
[http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1002+sherbrooke+west+montreal+qc&sll=45.502703,-73.575719&sspn=0.00943,0.014977&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1002+Rue+Sherbrooke+Ouest,+Montr%C3%A9al,+Communaut%C3%A9-Urbaine-de-Montr%C3%A9al,+Qu%C3%A9bec+H3A+1Y1&z=16 1002, Sherbrooke West, suite 2400, Montreal QC]

* 2 large adjacent conference rooms located on 24th floor of a tower with great view of the city ([[Montreal Code Sprint 2011 - Possible Venues#pictures-cmm |see pictures]])
* Possibility to remove the wall between the two rooms to make a single larger room
* RJ-45 and power plugs in the floor
* Larger room: 14 tables for two = 28 person capacity
* Smaller room: 6 tables for two = 12 person capacity
* Possibility to rearrange the tables to fit our needs (e.g. make tables/teams of 6-8 people for instance)
* Projector in each room
* White boards on the wall between the two rooms (become unavailable if we remove the wall)

== Sponsors ==

We will again be looking for sponsors ($750) to support food and fun for the sprinters as they work hard and play hard for four productive days. Each $750 sponsorship will be put towards lunch and dinner costs for the sprinters, and potentially bringing in sprinters who might otherwise be unable to attend.

To sponsor, please contact Daniel Morissette (dmorissette at mapgears dot com) directly.

Special offer: I, [[User:Aleroux|Alexandre Leroux]], can provide free lodging for the whole event with these parameters: one double bed, private access (we'll let you a key), private kitchen with fridge, private shower and toilet. Internet wifi included. It's a 2-minutes walk from the Snowdon subway station, making it easy to go to the Code Sprint. That would be on the basement of where my wife, daughter and myself live. If interested, contact me directly.
