I mean have a "UniForum" Canadian show in Vancouver/Montreal/Calgary/Edmonton...

We have the British Columbia Unix User's Group. It was organized by George
Pajari four or five years ago and had about 4-6 dinner meetings with speakers 
annualy. It's being re-organized this year with an executive group
(previously a Board of Directors organized by George organized the dinner
meetins). 

They have already three dinners planned for this fall. I'll post details when 
available. The first will have John Mashey from MIPS Computers giving his 
talk "MIP's, more MIP's, Never enough". The second will feature some speakers 
describing networking in Canada (CA*net, BCnet, etc). The third will be a 
Users panel.

They also hope to form some affiliations with the Uniforum Canada people.
