[CoLoCo] Software Freedom Day

[Neal McBurnett]

I'll actually be in Arizona that day, (and may even go to the one in
Phoenix).

Note that there will be one in Aurora by the Democratic Party!

 http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/northamerica/CO/ArapahoeCounty

 Time: 12:30-4:30pm
 Location: 15445 E Iliff Ave, Aurora, CO 80013, USA (map)
 POC: Patrick Anderson
 Sponsored by: Arapahoe County Democratic Party
 Details: Free software demonstrations and tutorials. Installation
 advice and assistance. Free CDs with tons of FREE software!

Providing them with a t-shirt would be a great way to capture
some eyeballs and make friends.  I'll chip in....

Having SFD booths in Denver and in Boulder also would be awesome.
