One cure (actually, an affordance) is to register the GTALUG on meetup.com <http://meetup.com>, for visibility.
Running a meetup.com group isn't cheap (I co-run one, and one the size of this mailing list would eat through our total funds very quickly) but it is a great way of getting new folks. There's an ops group meeting tonight. I'll bring it up then. Meetup brings all its own membership and communications infrastructure (and levels of spam for admins that scale new heights) so I think we might have to think hard on how to use that.
Right now, searching Google on "Linux Toronto Meetup" has GTALUG as the fifth hit on my list.
I'm guessing that Google is algorithmically weighting your search to favour "linux" "toronto" site:meetup.com since I'm sure meetup.com forks over a bunch of cash in order to be found favourable in the eyes of the Goog. cheers, Stewart
