It is Sun Canada's choice to call it the Canadian SUG.  Their
head-office is in Toronto.  They are interested in helping a Canadian
SUG to get started.
     
CanSUG IS TRYING to be open to all.  This is only the Second Meeting
we're talking about here and it is being announced Canada-wide to try
and stir up interest.  [Not acrimony.]
     
CanSUG is trying to get going on a minimal budget with basically
volunteer labour and facilities.  This newsgroup is one example of the
ideas that came out of the first meeting.  Anyone with constructive
ideas on how to make CanSUG more effective is welcome to comment.
     
Would anyone truly interested in getting involved please step forward
rather than just shouting from the wings.  I am not officially
connected with CanSUG, but I suspect that a polite request to this
newsgroup, to sun-stroke-people@ai.toronto.edu, or to
{watmath,ubc-cs,alberta,dalcs,garfield,uunet}!utai!sun-stroke-people
will bring forward an ``official'' contact address.
