[CREATE] PRE-ANNOUNCE : LGM 2 MONTREAL MAY 4-5-6

[Louis Desjardins]

Bonjour à 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 École 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, École 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 Société 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!

4. Find a week-end that would allow most of the participants to be there.
5. 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

Thanks to all for helping make LGM Montreal 2007 a great event!
