Dear Canadian Wikimedians,
Upon reviewing the dates for Sue to speak at York University we have confirmed 8 February 2011. What I would like to offer is to have Sue in Toronto for a Wikimeet up on Sunday, 6 February. This will help reduce some work and personal conflicts for those who may need to travel to Toronto to attend.
I am happy to set up a location or work on the logistics for the Wikimeet up but often find it is more effective to work through a local wikimedian who has staged some Wikimeet ups in the past. Is anyone interested to work with me to organize the meet up or do you have suggestions of who I may wish to contact to seek assistance? Feel free to contact me off list at jowen@wikimedia.org
Regards, James T. Owen

Hi folks,
I've been invited to come do a talk at Schulich (York University) on one of the following dates: January 11th; February 8th; March 15th; or March 29th. Normally I would say no, because it's not worth the long travel to do a small talk. But I'm curious to know if you folks might be willing to do a meet-up on one of those dates? (Or more accurately, a day or two before one of those dates.)
I'm half-interested just because I want to meet Canadian Wikimedians, and half-interested in hopes that a F2F meetup might help move you folks one step closer to becoming a chapter. I'd really like to see a Canadian chapter :-)
I'm CCing my assistant James. If it looks like there's enough interest, we'll say yes to Schulich and I'll let this list know when I'll be in town.
Thanks, Sue
