For Montreal, promoting the event locally would be even more important. It would be highly helpful to find some connection to a local computer science department (maybe even get the support of a professor), to get some students on board. Print flyers and posters.[1] With regard to missing "home play", you likely need to sponsor to fly in some some experienced hackers to bootstrap the event. I would even consider calling them speakers -- it suggests a shy interested reader that he can come by and can passively consume a talk. Depending on the audience that may be the start, but in the long run, we ideally want to do an introduction and then move on to a more workshop-like feeling to get things done. > Last but not least, have fun and hack :-) One more organizational thing: Offer distibuted couchsurfing in some kind or way -- not only is it a cheap accomodation, it also helps creating social bonding[2].

Obviously you need a room capable to hold the expected number of people with tables and proper seating. We were ~20 people on the Hamburg Hackfest last weekend, ~25-30 in Munich last year, but these numbers are probably higher than what can be expected for Montreal because Germany is somewhat the home play for LibreOffice and within good reach for European hackers. Also good if the room or a next one has a recreational area with armchairs or couches. Best if the room isn't bare and sterile ;) an already existing hacker space mostly makes feel comfy. Of course you need Internet connectivity, WiFi if possible so people can carry around their laptops without loosing connection. Have enough plugs for everybody and extension cables / multi sockets. A projector (and white wall) may be good in case someone wants to show something to all or hold a lightning talk. To tune into a friendly atmosphere and get to know each other have a social event the evening before (i.e. Friday if hackfest on weekend), like a dinner or beer event. Best if some sponsor pays for it ;-) Provide enough drinks and food and fruits for all days, all sorts of caffeinated drinks are welcomed, some beer for the evening, bread rolls, cheese, ham, salami, snacks, apples, bananas, strawberries ;-) Order (sponsored) pizza in the evening. Last but not least, have fun and hack :-) Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
