Well said.

I'll be in Ottawa that weekend and I understand Leslie is in Montreal. 
Perhaps if some Canadian contributors would be willing to converge on 
either Ottawa or Montreal that weekend then we could have a group remote 
meetup to coordinate and collaborate in realtime with Boston. I might be 
able to pull some strings with contacts I have in the Ottawa area to get 
some affordable and/or free meetup space in Ottawa.
