[UCIMC-Tech] 2011 Grassroots Radio Conference

[Chris Ritzo]

Sounds good Kristina. I created the listserv this afternoon & you should've
gotten an email about it.

I'll register the domain name tonight and hope for getting a site online
asap. I set up a conference site last year and we may be able to clone it
and reuse its functionality.

Will keep you posted.

Chris
