Why not start with a website that ties all Canadian LUG's together. I have
no idea who would manage it but it would be great to have one area to
go where you could know what areas do have LUG's, how to be in
touch, meeting times and places for each one, news from each one all
on one site, announcements of Canadian projects and releases, etc.
Imagine travelling on holidays and being able to look up meetings to
attend in other cities.

A further step could include invitations for articles Linux-related from
Canadian authors. If the Linuxcaffe.ca works out really well, an article
on this as a model could inspire similar central meeting places in other
parts of Canada.

There is *bound* to be apparent and hidden advantages to anything that
would unite the Linux community more.
