When we had a W3C advisory committee meeting in Montreal in November
some 3 years ago it was one of the better attended meetings we'd ever
had (we = W3C).

There is usually no snow until December or January in southern
Ontario and Quebec at least, I don't know about the other provinces
as well.

Canada is also easy to get to, and does not have the US Visa
requirements.

If there is not a strong KDE or Gnome community here, maybe we need
to fix that by having a conference?
