Hi! I'm from Edmonton and in the past envied the user group you had in Calgary. I attended two of your Linux conferences and really enjoyed them. They were very well organized and had a good number of attendees and exhibitors. I suspect they were a lot of work to organize but really a great resource. Here in Edmonton the group never meets and even the mailing list has become more of a chat fest than Linux related. I hope you folks can regain the great group you use to have and that it doesn't end up like the one here in Edmonton.
