[kwlug-disc] Linux Association Canada membership

[CrankyOldBugger]

I saw a post in my Mastodon feed this morning, announcing that the Linux
Association of Canada will be opening a Linux Job Board this Friday.  So,
curious, I found the LAC's website at https://linuxassociation.ca/

It seems to be a reasonably professional website, with a number of things
to do, like a distros page, an OSS library, community groups, etc.

It's certainly better put together than I expected when we were first
discussion this topic.

Maybe this discussion is worth revisiting?
