I mean if Chicago (a comparable sized city) can have 4 or 5 groups then so should Toronto. - dave On 10/22/07, Matthew Nish-Lapidus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I agree that an IxDA specific group is a great idea ... and in some > cities there are probably enough people interested to support multiple > groups, but so far in Toronto I haven't seen it.
