Sue actually foreshadowed this development
in an interview she gave at Wikimania: “We also know that, for example in
the United States, there is no United States chapter – there can’t
be, it’s too big of a country. Arguably there won’t be a Canadian chapter
either, for the same reason, right? Because to the extent that chapters are
about bringing people together and nurturing community face-to-face, they just
can’t - Vancouver and Toronto just aren’t gonna get together, you
know, for meetings and things.” And I can agree with that sentiment. Part
of my reluctance to get involved is that there’s basically zero chance of
me travelling to be involved in this. Unfortunately, regional chapters don’t
help me either as there’s nobody nearby, AFAIK. However for the
organization as a whole, it is worth pursuing regional or city chapters, I
think.

Hello?
On that note, I'll just
chip in that I think city-based chapters would be a lot better for

I advertized to start a London Ontario Chapter or a discussion group
and got no responses in this town. I will try again though
