Great Canadian Modder Meetup
I'm looking into a venue to host a meetup of modders, not just Canadian modders. The venue will be in or around Toronto, Ontario.
I'm posting to see who would commit to a venue.
I am also posting to get some ideas as to what sort of 'events' to have.
I am looking for a venue that will provide Highspeed Internet (Yes, we do have that in Canada)
Also, I may be looking at holding a 30-minute mod contest. Bring your own materials and he/she who completes a mod (not an entire project) in the time allotted wins a prize. Seems a little trite, but I'm just brainstorming here.
Lunch could be served.
Lastly, would those interested in coming pay $5-10 to come? Venues aren't cheap and either is lunch. ;)
Let me know.
Thanks.

Subsidize the cost as frakk mentioned with an entry fee.
Make it like tools you can have is the basics like rotary tool, ruler, compass, screwdriver, pliers, soldering iron.
Might have to talk to whoever is going to rent the area to you to on regulations on power tools and power requirements. also might be an issue if you have 50 people doing it with 50 soldering irons lol.
All this is in brainstorm phase. Your same tools idea is good. Or, maybe to a no powertools mod. That keeps the playing field pretty level....
There may not even be enough response to do something like this, but I'm going to try.

I would think about going .. Toronto is about a 3-4hr drive for me.

I'll put you on the list.

Hmm .. Maybe if that damn ferry gets running again, that would make the trip even easier !

no kidding, eh?
from what I heard, there was too much spending by Executive Officers. Too many lap dances and rub and tugs.
