Kia ora koutou

Alison, thanks heaps for sharing this with us. These Digital Forum
BarCamps sound like a fantastic opportunity for CC supporters to
gather with others in the same region, get to know each other, and
maybe envision some local activities. I'll certainly attend the
BarCamp here in Ōtepoti, and I might even pop up to the one in Whakatu
(Nelson).

If you are going to one of these BarCamps, I encourage you to let Matt
know, and get him to send you a stack of the glossy CC brochures. They
are much more useful in the hands of potential CC users, supporters,
and advocates than cluttering up Matt's office (I already have a stack
for such occasions to get them out of his hair ;) The brochure has the
website url, which leads to a sign-up form for this list, and it would
be great if you could also encourage people to subscribe and
participate in the info-sharing and discussions here.

He mihi nui ki a koutou
