I can't believe it's the end of Thermidor already. The summer's going so fast; Fructidor is the last month of the year in the French Revolutionary Calendar, and then it's the fall equinox and things change.
Speaking of the fall equinox, the Brûleurs de Montréal Burners, the local Burning Man regional organization in Montreal, is planning a decompression regional burn campout event for the weekend of 22-24 September 2006. Folks interested in Burning Man and near Montreal are encouraged (by me) to participate on the Brûleurs wiki or join the bruleurs mailing list.
And, yes, the event starts on La Fête de la Révolution on the Republican calendar. Neat.

As has been mentioned in many other places, yesterday, 16 Aug, was the 13th anniversary of the launch of Debian. It's definitely something to celebrate -- the project continues to be a huge success and a bulwark of Free Software.
Robin Millette and the Atelier du Libre will be hosting a Debian birthday party here in Montreal on Saturday the 19th at 8655 rue St Denis, at the Crémazie metro stop. The event is from 1:30PM to 5:30PM and is open to all.
