I would like to set up a real time meeting with other interested parties is convening a steering committee for setting up Wikimedia Canada. I propose we meet on Wednesday January 30 at 20:00 EST. I will be available on Google Talk at this email address at that time. Anyone interested in discussing with me moving this project forward please make yourself available on google talk at that time.
