FYI... The 2006 LGM was quite good.

Bonjour ?? tous!
G'day everybody!
It is my pleasure to announce that next LGM will take place in Montreal on MAY 4-5-6.
The event will be hosted by ??cole Polytechnique http://www.polymtl.ca/ from which we get *strong* support.
Although we have made sure this week-end is OK for most of you, I urge one last time the participating teams to show up very very quickly on the CREATE list *if* there is a major issue with those dates as to prevent them to be present. Otherwise, we will consider these dates as fine and will be pleased to welcome you all in Montreal on the first week-end of MAY 2007 ! :)
We needed to secure tightly a few things (no preferred order).
1. Availability from our host, ??cole Polytechnique. 2. Room availability from the student residences of the Uni to offer low-cost "hostel" for a good bunch of people. PLEASE NOTE that I would appreciate to know how many people would be interested in that service. The residences (all individual rooms) are located on the campus and we will be able to negociate a good price when we'll have a fair idea of the number of people who will sleep there. 3. Availability from the Soci??t?? des Arts Technologiques (SAT) for an event still to be finalized and sponsored on the Friday night that would gather all participants for supper (and beer, of course), with enough room and to allow lively discussions together! :) Here are the links to SAT for those interested!

Making sure airplane fares would still be as low as possible, before summertime.
I think we all have that with MAY 4-5-6
Please stay tuned. More info will be posted on the wiki at http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Thanks to all for helping make LGM Montreal 2007 a great event!
