Looking for other tech mavens in Victoria BC

My hope is that this Meetup.com group will be a means to find other Victoria residents who have a passion for cutting-edge technology. I found this great list of the world A-list digerati. Brewster Kahle is The Searcher, Kevin Kelly is the Saint, Bill Gates is The Software Developer, Esther Dyson is The Pattern-Recognizer, etc. Who are the digerati in beautiful, unassuming Victoria BC?
