We have decided to have a LoCo “Bug Day”. In which all members of the Loco are welcome to join us at Caffe Sole in Boulder (Table Mesa and Broadway) on January 3rd, 2008. We will also be meeting along side with the Hacking Society.

We have also had suggestions of small groups of Loco members meeting up around Colorado to join us on IRC to help each other out with questions. So if you would like to help set up a small group. Please email the list with your suggested location.

“If you would like to meet up for Dinner, as well, there will be CoLoCo members mixed in with the Hacking Society at the Southern Sun at 6pm.”

We decided in our last gathering to start having regular IRC meetings every 3rd Monday of every month. The 1st will be held January 21, 2008.
