Hello Wikimedians of Colorado,
How about getting together to take stock of our activities and plan a few
small things over the next few months?
We can plan to meet in Boulder or somewhere on the Turnpike one of the
evenings during the week of 8/26 (week after next) or week of 9/2 (Labor
Day week.) Let us know what works for you.
Thanks,
Abhay

I am ok with someone more deserving going. Let me know when and how to
deregister, once they have registered.

I have been to this conference once (2017), so if someone new wants to get

I will add my name as a backup so we don't go unrepresented.
Thank you all.
