[DUG-TO] DrupalCamp Toronto 2010

[Chris Luckhardt]

Yes, I cross posted it over there for that exact reason.  :)

Just for the exposure alone, I would prefer a public discussion for
DrupalCamp on groups.drupal.org.  I can also post the results of the
discussions to the FB page and Twitter to keep the public exposure and
momentum going.
