Yes, OLS is just a wee bit extremely technical; if you're not a code
wrangler you're probably out of your depth there.  For what it is, I
think it's extremely important, and it certainly puts Canada on the
international Linux map, but something targetted at the average user
might be useful too.  

There was an effort to get an event called SOLE happening in Hamilton; I
never heard any confirmation that it really was happening, and suspect
it got derailed.  OTOH, that's the one venue for which you should have an
easy time getting Bob Young to send some RedHat support, considering he's
originally a Hamilton boy.

There probably needs to be a combination of a strong LUG to run such an
event, together with some CLUE support to help contact and co-ordinate
the appropriate big names (speakers, vendors, sponsors).  I don't think
CLUE can just parachute into a random venue and make things happen.
