Starting this February, Dirty Rectangles will begin month meetups at the Avant Garde Bar in downtown Ottawa. These Show and Tell styled meets will be a chance for you to come and see what's new in the Ottawa game development scene. Each meetup will start with the showcasing of a couple games being made around Ottawa, afterwards we'll open the stage up to any one that would like to show something off. It could be a final build of a game, or a small slice that you'd like to get some feedback on! It's an open mic, anything goes. We'll have a projector and computer on hand to displaying the goods.

The February meetup will feature 2 games before the open mic starts.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a website or app to tell you that there’s an gallery opening just a block away, that your favourite artist is playing tomorrow in the market, or that there’s a vintage video game fest happening at ArtEngine later this month?

What about something that showed all parks, pools (including opening hours & activities), bike trails, canal conditions, outdoor markets, walk-in clinics and more?

How about an app to show you restaurants you haven’t been to in Ottawa, accompanied by foodie reviews written by local bloggers?
