Fwd: Ubuntu-ca Off-topic

[Bob Jonkman]

Here is the official purpose of the ubuntu-ca list, from 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca :

> About ubuntu-ca
> Our goal is to create a local community
> for Ubuntu Linux users in Canada.
> It will be a place to go and talk, and share your experiences and have 
> a good time.
> Think of it as the water-cooler for
> Canadian Linux users.

Also,

> run by str8line at gmail.com, dscassel at gmail.com 
> <mailto:ubuntu-ca-owner at lists.ubuntu.com>

And that includes me.
