<p>Hi Katie,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To clarify, the <b>site "Descriptors" are URLs</b> which are not
flagged as such (no coloration as blue, because of controlled
styling, <b>suppressing</b> normal URL <b>decoration</b>). </p>
<p>If you "<b>mouseover</b>" the site names, their colour becomes
red <b>and</b> you will see the <b>finger pointer</b> indicating
that there is a live link available to jump to the target URLs.</p>
<p>The mouseover for the URL paths was to improve readability for
those who are challenged by the basic colour scheme for the page,
or to simply make it easier when simply looking to review the
links for Reader's self-determination regarding where it is taking
the Reader and whether that URL is safe.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The previously offered URL (see below, also at the bottom of the
script where I intended to eventually embed the background image)
for the image download page makes reference to the image being in
the public domain:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><img src="cid:part1.A3mn5b3a.YF9S533U@rogers.com"
moz-do-not-send="false"></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Clicking on the "More info" leads to the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><img src="cid:part2.RSv3lw0c.ThwNjusC@rogers.com"
moz-do-not-send="false"></p>
</blockquote>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So, for me, that implies no royalties.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If you ask, why the choice of image?</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">for me the visual of the flag
projecting itself in all compass points and appearing like a plane
coming in low for a flyover (or if you prefer like a rocket
launching into the sky) is for me a visual evoking strong
movement </div>
<ul>
<li class="moz-cite-prefix">towards the future</li>
<li class="moz-cite-prefix">extending to reach everywhere in
Canada</li>
<li class="moz-cite-prefix">extending to reach throughout the
globe</li>
</ul>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">being evocative that we are not tied to
a neighbour that is bent on shooting themselves in the foot but
dragging us into the hell of pain of his own creation! I think it
is a visual that will find resonance with many. I hope you like
that explanation.</div>

Hi Eric,
<br>
<br>
Thank you for doing this.
<br>
<br>
I have a question regarding the background (I'm not familiar with
creazilla, and often get images from unsplash, where I have also
contributed some images). Is creazilla royalty-free?
<br>
<br>
Personally, I like the mouse-over sensitivity. What do others
think? Should the websites be links instead of written-out web
addresses?
<br>
<br>
I really appreciate the effort to shape this list into something
more patriotic and aesthetic.
<br>
<br>

Thanks Eric!
<br>
<br>
Even with the current format (GitHub Pages site, disorganized,
<br>
unformatted, non-alphabetical, uncategorized, dateless list)
please
<br>
feel free (anyone) to add to the list and edit as you see fit!
I
<br>
think a background would be neat and/or some font styling.
<br>
<br>
It looks like an edit is going to be needed very soon if the
<br>
Saskatchewan LUG doesn't find a new organizer and comes to an
end.
<br>
The list starts to capture history and dynamics.
<br>
<br>
The GitHub Page list can be the start to so many things beyond
<br>
capture and share. I was inspired to do this by George Hotz,
who
<br>
keeps his blog on a Github Pages site. I recommend checking
that
<br>
out.

Hello all,

<br>
On the list of Canadian user groups that I'm building:

I only have an email address listed for L3GO

(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:sigs-l3go [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org">sigs-l3go [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org</a>). I'm wondering if L3GO has any

"online properties" (such as a dedicated website)?
<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help,
