The Montreal Tech Community

You are in Montreal, you love technology, you believe in sharing, openness and community, I suggest you read the following blogs...

http://montrealtechwatch.com/ - by Heri. This is a good starting point to know what's happening in the tech community in Montreal.

http://www.billionswithzeroknowledge.com/ - by Austin Hill, a serial entrepreneur who just launched Akoha.

http://www.afroginthevalley.com/ - by Sylvain Carle, CTO of Praized, a montreal startup.

http://hughmcguire.net/ - by Hugh McGuire, the founder of LibriVox.

And for those who enjoy the juicy technical details of a web server programmer's life, just dive in the deep heap by my colleague Nick Maiorano.

A Creative World

Poverty is not only about money...and solving poverty is not only about giving...it is also about sharing.

What if education was global? What if every book was free, accessible to anyone? What if anyone could access, remix and reuse every single piece of work that exists...literature, music, movies,...free of charge!

What if knowledge was global? Patents are about protecting intellectual property...but does it make sense to keep the composition of an important medicine secret...making it impossible for poor countries like India to provide the drug at a reasonable price for Indians?

Freeing art, education and science is what Creative Commons aims for. So the next time you create, why not share it using the CC licenses?
