Hello.

First off, I'd like to thank you for producing what I consider to be 
the best source of Linux news on the Net.  It's refreshing reading the
LWN each week, with such a solid editorial content!  8-)

Second, I'd like to let you know about an important step our LUG has
taken.

The Victoria Linux Users Group (VLUG), of Victoria, B.C., Canada, has
just formally registered as a society, the first LUG in Canada to do
so.

We feel this is an important step, allowing us to have a board of
directors with authority to make things happen, a bank account,
the ability to accept membership fees, as well as to sign contracts 
and other agreements which informal groups simply cannot do.  Also,
this allows us to limit our legal exposure, something I don't think 
many LUG organizers think enough about.

If you could mention our formal incorporation in the LWN, we would be
most appreciate.  Our URL is:

Thanks and regards.

-Chris
