  I'm in a similar situation.  My volunteer focus remains on 
http://c11.ca , but want to do what I can to help connect other Free 
Software people together.


  At some point we'll find our Canadian RMS, Bradley Kuhn, etc.   I'd 
love for us to have an FSF, SFLC http://softwarefreedom.org/ and 
http://sfconservancy.org/ at some point.  We can't really rely on our 
proximity to the USA, given it seems the influence from those who oppose 
FLOSS from the USA have been far more involved in Canadian policy than 
we have been thus far.


Note: Sorry if I focus on advocacy/policy stuff.  I guess I've always 
believed that the software will get authored if software developers are 
allowed to do so and users are allowed to choose our software.  It is 
harmful changes in the law that get in our way that has been my focus 
for quite some time.
