The idea is to get it together and leave it on auto-pilot when its big enough. I don't know _why_ there is such a low turn out of female Linux users/coders at my local LUG but it's very noticable. Also I don't know what such a SIG would really want to do for itself. I want to kickstart it and see where it goes after the second or third meet (by then I'd just be peripherally involved.) That being said if a female UNIX person in Toronto wanted to do this right now I'd just leave it up to them. > Isn't CLUE supposed to be a Canada-wide organization?

I'd like to get something open here in Toronto with a webpage and mailing list and then fork out. I'm going to see what I can get done through Digitaleve and whatever other contacts I get. I would be happy to share notes with you about connecting this up to the west coast too. -- Thamer Al-Harbash http://www.whitefang.com/ Alpha Geek of the Toronto UNIX Cabal: "Perfection is a lead pipe and one sorry Poser." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
