I paused when typing 'regional-uk' to wonder whether regional-
wales, regional-scotland might attract more of an audience. Perhaps
our userbase is small enough to keep meetup announcements in netbsd-

Don't forget London, Ontario, Canada! Come to think of it, there's
a Cardiff, Illinois, USA too. regional-cardiff-no-the-other-one
