Sounds great.
Yesterday TLUG, today GTALUG, next year GTOLUG,the METALUG: The Greater 
Toronto-Ontario LUG :-)

But seriously, you are being realistic. If the invitations go out, 
GTALUG is looking at lots more "blood, sweat and tears". Egos will have 
to be not only left at the door but the keyboards/lists.

What kind of commitments in time, effort and money will have to be 
explored, if this is pursued.

My 2-cents worth :-)
