I'm debating attending this, but I'm in Ontario so it'd be a full day of travel each way to get there. I also don't know many local developers I could coerce into attending. Any students from HN looking for a team? edit: I should point out, email is in my profile or alanctgardner(at)gmail(dot)com

Sure! I'm trying to work out travel from LA at the moment. Shoot me an email at zchlatta (at) gmail.com.

  I'm also coming from LA. My Email is mwein2009 (at) gmail.com. I'm partnering with another person so we have room for up to 2 more.

  I know a lot of people flying out of Toronto...there's also the Michigan buses that may be passing through canada.

  Well, I'm a humble uOttawa student, but I did get accepted to Waterloo ;)

    I'm curious as to why didn't you come here then!

      I visited Waterloo-Kitchener a few times before choosing, but it never felt very interesting as a place to live. People diss Ottawa for being boring, but we have a pretty good number of attractions, and it's really easy to get around without a car. Montreal makes a nice weekend trip if you want to go someplace more exciting. Academically I do feel like I missed out on a higher quality education / more prestigious degree from Waterloo. I have to do a lot of legwork to make my co-op program work and (hopefully) graduate on time next year. Ottawa also doesn't (yet) have the startup/developer culture Waterloo has, but I think we're working on it. On the plus side, I did all 5 of my co-op terms without leaving Ottawa, met my girlfriend of three years and have a sweet job coming out of school next year. I wouldn't have done anything differently, but it is interesting to consider.

Yeah right now Im giving the pitch to the parents on why I should borrow there car to drive down from Ottawa to do this.

  Would you be interested in carpooling? I can obviously chip in for gas, but I've also got my G-class license, I could take a few legs of the trip. Get in touch if you're interested, it'd just be cool to meet more Ottawa devs as well :)

We're thinking about putting together a team from Halifax. Hopefully worth the drive!
