We'd love to see you here and would be happy to share what we know about
organising a BSP!

Hey Christopher,

There's actually people interested in doing a BSP here in Toronto.  I'm
one of them :-).  If I can, I'll organize one by the end of January.
I'm also considering attending the one in Montréal, just to have an idea
of what to do here.  Let's see.

Thanks,

Thanks; I had considered it; other things got in the way at the time, so
I was sadly unable to make it.  It is very kind for you to point out these
events, thank you!

I'd consider it, as I'm a Debian user, and it's certainly a good thing to:
a) Give something back,
b) Help with roadblocks to the new release

Alas, that's a week when I can't leave town, so have to give 'regrets'.

Also, I think I'd rather do Montreal in the summer.  My cold weather gear
has withered over the years since we don't get actually cold weather here
in Toronto ;-)

I'm slightly surprised that there's not enough people to do a BSP here
in Toronto; there ought to be interested folk here too.  I'll bet there's
some interesting process involved.
