[Asterisk-Users] Any interest in a Canadian Asterisk mailing list?

[Gyrion, Larry M.]

I believe the US and Canada use the same methods for voice services,
maybe we could make it a North America list serv instead.  Just some
thoughts here

I don't think the idea is to be "just for Canadians", but more as a
forum for topics that relate to Asterisk in the Canadian environment. 

A very relevant example is the CRTCs deliberations on VoIP, which may
have huge repercussions to Canadian Asterisk users, but is hardly
relevant to the international version of the Asterisk-Users list. Bell
and TELUS bashing might also be popular topics :-)

I do agree that any subject that is not specific to the Canadian
experience should remain in the international list. We are an
international community; therein lies our power.

Anyhow, I signed up, and am planning to start a thread about the CRTC
VoIP deliberations (and the generous act performed there by Jeff
Pulver), something I wouldn't feel was appropriate on Asterisk-Users.
Time will tell how many topics there are to discuss.

The way I see it, a Canadian mailing list will be no different than our
country itself: visitors will always be welcome.
