Hi Joe Newlin, (lotsa Joes)
Terrific. The better we can organize our "local hosts" the better we'll be able to make all
these events work well. So we'll include you in the discussion loop and work on ways you could
be involved. Do you think that you also might be a "regular" in the LA patching circle once
it gets going?
The new cc you'll see here is Theron Trowbridge, who is a principal at CrashSpace and who
will be able to make many suggestions for you, even to stop by CrashSpace maybe. Theron
is full time on the local scene in LA already as well. (I live in San Diego, but shuttle up to
LA pretty frequently, and I'll do more of that very soon.)
Cheers,
Joe
