Thanks for creating this!

You're welcome. Hope it works. Have you signed up yet?

Yep! And I noticed one other user from Waterloo and have gotten in touch with her (Juliana), hopefully will start up a local usergroup for Kitchener-Waterloo as well.

Cool. We perhaps should set up an Ontario OLPC UG or something to cover us all, and have sub-domains. Would rather see that we're all on the same page. What do you think? Wonder if I should buy OLPCUG.org or something.

That sounds like a great idea. Are there any good scripts out there that are ideal for managing community things like this? I'd be willing to provide hosting and chip in for a domain name...

Thanks for offering to help. I have 500 gigs and infinite domains on my package, but if you wanna give me $5 we an split the cost of the domain. I'd probably use.... not sure which package I'd use for CMS. I'll check and get back to you.

Cool, any preferred method? Cheque, paypal, credit card?
