Incorporation redux

[Tony Abou-Assaleh]

Evan,

I agree that the discussion seemed to lead no where for a while. But at
least for me, I find the last few posts very valuable, informative, and
inspiring. I am chairing the organization of a FOSS conference in Halifax
this coming June. Last year it was more of a regional event (Atlantic
Canada), and we hope to make more of a national one this year. I will post
more details as they become available. If I am to approach some entity in
GTA to help with the organization or the promotion of the event, GTALUG
seems like a good one. I'd be interested in either hosting the conference
in in Toronto in 2007, or organizing a similar event. In that case, I
think GTALUG would provide the necessary infrastructure (which you well
explained in another post).

So all in all, I think good things are coming out of these threads.

Cheers,

TAA
