[Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

There is a Maemo meetup in Toronto and Vancouver for April 21 and 22, respectively. Looks like it is organized by 'Mobile Geeks of Toronto/Vancouver'.

Samir Agarwal, Head of Maemo Operations, Mountain View, CA will be representing Nokia at both events.

I'll be at the Toronto one. Hopefully there will be a large turnout!

And don't forget to bring your N900 and other Maemo device(s) with you.

I'll be going too, this will be my first event I've been to though, so it might be a little awkward :S

See you there!

Updating this thread. Perhaps the OP can change the title;


***URGENT UPDATE***
***EVENT POSTPONED***
As you may be aware, there is a travel situation in Europe. Unfortunately, Samir Agarwal is currently stranded and will be unable to join us for the event.
I am really sorry for the short notice, but this means I am therefore postponing the event, with a new date TBC, but likely to be Wednesday May 5th.
I hope you will all understand the situation, and I look forward to seeing you at the new, rescheduled event.
Thanks for understanding, and please spread the word - I will be posting this message through as many channels as possible, so apologies if you receive it more than once.
Tom

I cannot change the title. But, the meetup is presently cancelled. Hopefully it will be rescheduled.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

so i am a Meamo enthusiast in Vancouver, what could I expect by attending a meet-up?
thanks.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

I'm not exactly sure, to be honest. WOMWorld is rather vague on the details. I'm expecting to have a beer, meet some Nokia guy (I don't recognise his name) and see some other Vancouver Maemo enthusiasts. I have never seen a single Maemo device "in the wild" in Vancouver before...

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

I may be there... and he is coming too.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

I'll be in the middle of my break, so I might show up. I've seen 4 or 5 maemo devices up at SFU ;)

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Ah, nice to get some details... Qole, it looks like they pulled your comment from the Facebook page.

I hope to be there as well.

I have as well, although I don't know if you were one of the people I saw.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Nah, I pulled my own comment. It was just snarky.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Can someone confirm and elaborate on these events?

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Don't believe me, eh?

Here's the Facebook group for the Vancouver meeting:

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Ok folks, if you live in or near Toronto, please try to go to the Drake Hotel tonight for the MGoTO 1 meetup.

The Vancouver meetup was sparsely attended and I was the only currently active talk.maemo.org guy there (Hubert Figuiere, one of the Maemo Abiword devs was there, wearing an old-school Maemo "code in your hands" t-shirt, but he said he isn't working on Abiword any more and he's working for Apple now)

So try to get out to the Toronto meeting and show them that maemo.org has some Canadians involved, too!

Tell Tom that qole sent you! ;)

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

I'll be there and some writers for maemofanatics.com will also be there.

Thanks for the free bump.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

I am there as well, Wind-powered N900 in-hand.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Ha ha
i hope we'll get Molson :D

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

By the way, I asked Anurag Thakur, the Canadian technology marketing guy for Nokia, why they aren't selling the N900 in Canada. He said they aren't selling the N900 in the States either, at least not the way that Wind meant. He said that they are only selling the N900 in North America through "retail channels". He said it is considered inside Nokia as a "developer phone" and the next one, due out later this year, will be sold by North American carriers (including Canadian ones).

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

I really wanted to come, but couldn't get the evening free :(. Too bad the first date didn't work out, I'd have been there. Hopefully there is a next time!

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

I am at the Toronto event right now. Still a bit early, having a drink at the 2nd level bar. Anyone else here yet?!

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Tom, the guy with the British accent, is the organizing force behind the event. He's the one with the swag, too! ;)

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Great event, nice meeting everyone :)
Thanks Tom!

Hey, it's the other Simon who was stealing all my thunder.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

The Simon's were awesome! Event was fun as well. Sounds like our turnout was larger than Vancouver.... I'll be posting some thoughts/observations from the evening in my blog - probably today or tomorrow.

We should meet up more often - it was fantastic to get other people's insight, experience, etc on Maemo and the N900.

Re: [Toronto & Vancouver]: WOMWorld Meetup - Maemo
 

Put some observations on my blog
