Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

Hey all,
As a few people may know (and most won't), I'm involved in some research work with N900s at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC, Canada. My supervisor has suggested holding a Maemo meet-up for the Greater Vancouver area, probably at the campus itself. I've also heard interest from a few locals. Nothing is decided yet, but my question is...

...Who would come, if we set something up?
I'm not asking for formal RSVPs, but I'd like to gauge interest.

Cheers,

Providing there is no scheduling conflict, I'd love to be there.

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

Interested!

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

I'm interested too , i will ask around to see if anyone else is interested :)
Cheers

Interested, but Victoria is nicer. :)

Anybody seen the Wind network showing up on their N900s?

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

Just FYI, according to a friend who talked to WIND, coverage for SFU is targetted for July (hopefully); apparently there were some regulatory hold-ups.

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

Yup - for a while now! (he he he)

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

Only when I go to select network manually, it doesn't show up in the network list otherwise.

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

EIPI: I meant in Vancouver, of course. Of course you've been able to see it for a while.

Slocan: I have tried that trick, both at UBC (where their home zone is only partially covering the campus) and at my house (right in the middle of the Vancouver home zone). All I ever see is the Fido network, nothing else.

Is there some special trick that I'm missing? I'm doing it like in EIPI's blog...

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

Nope, you're in Canada: All the networks are out to trick you!

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

I'm in the building where the Wind offices are located, maybe that's why :).
Settings->Phone, making sure it's set to Dual mode (I think you need to actually save that setting, not just selecting it), then Network Selection, manual, and after quite a while, Rogers and Wind show up on mine.

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

Sorry, qole - was just trying to be funny. If you are not set to dual, you will not see it. A sure bet is to set it to 3G, and then it should only pick up "Wind Home". I am using the 2G/3G switcher nowadays, and it makes this type of stuff easier to manage. Hope you guys have a fun meetup!

Re: Vancouver Meetup - Who's interested?
 

You can get WIND Home at SFU if you go outside the south end of most of the buildings. Basically anywhere you can see down in to burnaby. I hope they have coverage in July, that would be very nice. It's hard to convince people to sign up if they aren't going to be covered!
