www.communautequebec.org has a facelift

Communauté Québec's homepage is receiving a facelift, today! As a matter of fact, Québec City's non-profit portal will display more of a portal-shape homepage than the blog opening it previously presented. This renovation is part of Waska's new business plan for 2009.

Lots of new services - availbale to members of Waska - will be added to Communauté Québec's portal homepage.

If your non-profit organization wishes to have its endeavours, special events or any news published on Communauté Québec, please write us to bulletin@communautequebec.org! It is free for all Québec City NPOs and those who serve the Old Capital's population. Our team will make sure the text is error-free and meets Waska's standards: positive, constructive, polite, politically neutral, and of Québec City resident's interest.

Last SWAFF meeting of the season, May 14

It is already the last SWAFF meeting of the season before summer break. Already! Back in September and so on.

What/where is SWAFF?

It stands for "Soirées Web & Affaires" which means "Web & Business Evenings" which gathers people who want to talk about the web and business in the very casual atmosphere of "Mo Tavern" in Quebec City. It is held May 14, starts around 5:30 PM and lasts until 8:30 PM. It's free; you only pay for what you eat or drink. Click here for the map.

"Mo Tavern" is at 810 Charest Boulevard East, Quebec City (near the intersection of Dufferin Overpass and Charest Boulevard East, where the St. Roch Mall once existed). You can reach Stephane Guerin at 418-575-5424 or contact him by email at sguerin@percute.com. He's the sympathetic host of this gathering.

Who is SWAFF for?

It is for anyone interested - directly or indirectly - in e-business, in other words who is working with the Internet. From the newbie to the expert, employee, IT manager or comm's, contractor, entrepreneur, etc. Everyone is welcome!

Tuxdequebec: a new centre-wing, autonomist and "linuxian" blog in Quebec City

I have many blogs but each of them have a special theme like Communauté Québec, Waska, a non-profit organization helping people and organizations gain empowerment, and some others. I needed a space where I could express my opinion and where followers would choose to read me if they really wished to. A dedicated readership. So I created "Tuxdequebec" which corresponds to my Twitter account (twitter.com/tuxdequebec).

In this blog, I will discuss subjects like my personal passions (Ubutnu and Linux, centre-wing politics, my point of view on world affairs, etc.). People are invited to read this blog if they feel good about it. If they don't, I can suggest them other blogs...

You have to know that I like to tease and I don't take everything too seriously. If I seem strong-headed about something, please do leave me a comment and I can surely meet you half way.

I wish you happiness and hope you have fun reading my crazy stuff.

Jean-François "JEFF" Patrice Néron

Welcome to English-speaking readers

Communauté Québec is a blog written by a non-formal group of individuals, just for the fun of contributing to the humanitarian world in Québec City. It is meant to be a way for citizens, organizations and small businesses to express themselves about their city and its life. As time goes by, it encompasses a wider field of information... It is becoming the city's meeting point for the leaders - and the benevolent workers - of the autonomous non-profit movement.

Communauté Québec is privately owned by Jean-François Patrice Néron, a Québec City father of two and stepfather to three others, blogger and involved in humanitarian endeavours (Waska, autonomie et services techniques communautaires).

As of now, English-speaking readers will be able to enjoy Communauté Québec's articles as well and get to know this welcoming, quiet city dubbed "The Old Capital City". Welcome to all!
