Im currently hoping to begin contributing to my local community more so I decided to search around and find out more information about the local .NET community...

It would appear that my local community has numerous (5 ?) Microsoft and .NET User groups in the area..

.netBC  Vancouver .NET users group.

Simon Fraser Microsoft User Group Our events are focused on .NET technologies such as C# and Visual Studio .NET. We are promoting the use of Microsoft technologies at SFU among its students ....

Vancouver .NET User Group In August 2003, VanNetUg.ca and dotNetBC merged to form the .NET BC users group. The new group was formed ...

Vancouver Microsoft .NET User Group Monthly meetings discussing .NET related topics. Network ...

VANTUG Vancouver Technology User Group (Microsoft User Group). Supports all aspects of Microsoft related systems and services.

It would seem that a few merged into the dotNetBC users group.  Now my one problem is to determine which record is actually the correct one...

or

Why has Ineta.org not cleaned up this mess? (Or whomever is responsible for this content).

Ive been in contact with Medhat Elmasry and the one time he did respond to my requests it seem that, that group was some what active -about 1 or 2 events per month.  After looking on their site

It appears they are having a meeting tonight, with a presentation on Delphi.  Im a C# whore true and true, so I cant imagine that I will get much out of the presentation...but I think I will go anyways; try to see if I can find Medhat around and get to the bottom of all this UG nonsense.

Hope to see you there.
