I don't know how people feel about free/open source software here, but
I've been kinda wanting to start a new group that promotes and
encourages the use of free/open source software in Toronto and the GTA
and in the rest of Ontario.

In terms of Lisp, I guess this would mean discussing the perils and
pitfalls of using certain open source licenses for Lisp code or Lisp
implementations, and maybe discussing which free software
implementations or open source modules are the best to use, and maybe
how it impacts business. I think that's one of the larger issues;
building a business on free software (I know a few Toronto Lisp people
were involved in startups and larger enterprises).

So what would you guys think about this? Does anyone here like talking
about free/open source software? :P
