You will want to review L'Agenda du libre du Québec to see what's happening: http://www.agendadulibre.qc.ca/event/2013/8/ Even if you're not here yet, a fair number of those meeting entries are links to sites, which lead to other points of contact. There's also the Mount Royal Game Society, which is a meeting of independent video game authors, and meets on the first Wednesday of every month in a very crowded cafe: http://mrgs.ca/ And there's FACIL, which is trying to campaign for informatique libre: http://facil.qc.ca/ This should give you a few remote-entry points to activities here. > > Basically, and initially, I have two questions: > > 1- Is there any basic rule or rules to be followed in the list?
