Again, maybe computersforcommunities.ca might be a good match. I have opened my garage to house 50 some used computers that volunteers are installing ubuntu ontop of... Maybe an install fest to crank out these puppies... I am getting comminity centres lined up for some ubuntu computer labs... Already have one LTS Ubuntu box and some PXE clients... Let me know if there is a potential partnering to pull off... Oh yhea did I mention we're raising $ for these labs too?

Currently, Canada just has a country-wide loco team, which given the size of the place is a bit broad ;) Is there any interest here in starting one up?
