Thanks for the publicity :) It's generally hard to get non-academics interested in our papers.
I'm currently an assistant prof at the University of Alberta and miss the Toronto Lisp Users group.
One thing I did in my class that could be interest to you guys is that I used google hangout to allow remote speakers to give guest talks to my grad class: * Laptop on podium * Webcam facing audience * Google Hangout w/ screen sharing * Amplification and microphone It worked out really well.
I'm bringing this up because while Canada is far and wide the latency across Canada is acceptable for videochat and video presentations. This might enable localized User Groups to get actual talks at the cost of wifi :)

I expect some of you follow lambda-the-ultimate.org http://lambda-the-ultimate.org. I see that a recent post refers to a paper co-authored by Abram Hindle. It's pretty interesting.
I don't know if Abram still follows this mailing list, but he used to be very active in the Toronto Lisp group.
