For those who are already in the Vancouver area there is a meetup on
Saturday, Jan. 15 at Benny's Bagels, 2505 W. Broadway, Vancouver, at
6:30 pm. This is part of Wikipedia's 10th birthday on that date, and is
in conjunction with parties being held in many cities around the world.
In Canada these are also happening in Edmonton, Collingwood, Toronto and
Montreal. See http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canada for links
to the other sites. The Vancouver meetup is being organized by user:The
Interior. Apparently T-Shirts will be available.

This is good. Since I'm not associated with a University I won't be
involved with it, but I will encourage it.
