ATOMS & BITS
This edition of the Montreal NetSquared Meetup is also part of a global festival called Atoms & Bits taking place in several cities in Europe as well as Montreal. Other Montreal events include a WordPress meetup (about the popular blogging platform) and the probably-complete PodCamp montreal that happened this weekend.
From their website: "atoms&bits are the smallest elements in our modern society. This is what the atoms&bits Festival is all about: how we change society bit by bit, atom by atom – organized through the Internet with real world results. a&b is a meet up for visionaries, tinkerers, activists, geeks, and artists – in short, everyone that celebrates a new culture of collective endeavor and do-it-yourself."
