• Ubisoft
  • I made a phone call and sent an email to the director of public relations. Obvious a contact with developers or designers would be more helpful. --Evan 10:42, 29 October 2007 (PDT)
• SoftImage
  • Sent an email and a voice mail to marketing department. Again, a technical contact would be key. --Evan 10:57, 29 October 2007 (PDT)
• EA Montreal
  • Sent an email and voicemail to community outreach group. --Evan 12:09, 29 October 2007 (PDT)
• Hydro Québec
• Vidéotron
• Bell Canada
  • I left a message with the local community-relations person in Montreal. It'd be great to get a message to engineering groups there. --Evan 10:42, 29 October 2007 (PDT)
• McGill
  • I sent an email to the McLUG list. --Evan 11:07, 29 October 2007 (PDT)

• MSLUG

• Google Montreal
  • I couldn't get through the front door -- the receptionist wouldn't put my call through to anyone at the office -- so I ended up calling the global headquarters in Mountain View (!) and finally filed a "speaker request form". I might try talking to friends at Google and see if they have any suggestions. --Evan 12:08, 29 October 2007 (PDT)
• Yahoo! Quebec
  • I've made some phone calls and sent a couple of emails which are apparently bouncing around the engineering department there. Yahoo!'s been a big supporter of BarCamps around the world, and it'd be great to get their participation here. --Evan 12:08, 29 October 2007 (PDT)
  • I've contacted via facebook Katheline Jean-Pierre who is managing Flickr Québec, and invited her and Yahoo Québec to come -- Heri 30 October
