If you are in Montréal this week-end, stop by the École de technologie supérieure main building and attend the Ubuntu Global Jam 2009!  I have to admit I am surprised this is happening at my former university, considering the lack of FOSS culture there was.  It is a sign of changes I am welcoming!

This will be my first Ubuntu event and my first local conf.  After all, I realized I know more FOSS contributors in Europe than in Montréal.  And that’s not because there aren’t, I’ve just been more often to international conferences.  Time to make a shift.  To mark the start, I’ll be giving a tutorial on Saturday October 3rd around 14:00 about how to contribute to OpenStreetMap from an Ubuntu desktop ‒ for what matters, any GNU/Linux distro would be fine too :-).

See you there.
