My intention isn't to substitute any of the other events or to make news, but the idea behind the Montreal NewTech is to add to the startup scene there, and connect it with the other events (that's why I have a section to announce any other tech event there). Sorry if you got a different idea. One of the main advantage of the NewTech Meetup is that we can not only connect locally, but tie the Montreal startups with the other NewTech meetups in the US and get more exposure to what's happening over there. Again, sorry this came out the wrong way. I hope to meet you and work together to grow the Montreal tech community. If you want to get involved, I'd be more than happy to use the help. I'll check the other events out and link to them and make sure there isn't any dates overlap. Hey Christian,

It's a good idea to join the new tech business crowd of this city and we'll be happy to have you here. However, why don't you start smelling the air first before trying to make the headlines? There are already so many tech-, startup- and/or Web-related meetings in Montreal that they don't fit anymore in my agenda. Just Google some of these: Yulblog, Yulbiz, BarCampMontreal, Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast, StartupDrinks, MontrealOnRails, TechnoMontreal 5 a 7, StartupDrinks, W3Quebec, Third Tuesday Montreal, Podcamp Montreal, Linux Meetup, Ile Sans Fil, etc. What do you think you have to offer that we don't already have designed our own way here? And why the hell should we do it your way instead?!? Welcome to Montreal, Felipe. It’s a good idea to join the new tech business crowd of this city and we’ll be happy to have you here.
