Studio XX (http://www.studioxx.org/splash.html) a feminist, new media artist run centre with F/LOSS usage actually in its mandate. And they've already expressed interest in being involved. SAT (http://www.sat.qc.ca/) the grand poobah of tech-art centres in Montreal. Very accommodating and I believe LGM has had dealings with them in the past (reception for LGM 2007 was at their space). Department of Design and Computation Arts at Concodia University ( http://design.concordia.ca/) which has some profs who are very keen on exposing their students to F/LOSS and has good ties to other research centres, like Hexagram (http://hexagram.ca/). Daniel Langlois Foundation (http://www.fondation-langlois.org/html/e/) which does majorly good work in furthering digital art in Quebec. There's loads more, but that's what immediately comes to mind when I think of media arts in Montreal. (Full disclosure: I studied in Design and Computation Arts at Concordia, work extensively with Studio XX and have colleagues within Hexagram. Although in this case, I think all those tied up interests are a useful thing instead of a conflict.) In short, don't worry. -- ginger "all-lower-case" coons adaptstudio.ca 647.865.7757 (Toronto) 514.213.1318 (Montreal)
