[CoLoCo] Helping KRFC in Fort Collins with open source

[Dave Vanderploeg]

As long as we're on the public radio topic, I had an idea a while back that
might work out for us.

KCFR, one of Denver's public radio stations has a show on weekdays called
"Colorado Matters". Its kind of a cheesy 1/2 hour show where they discuss
all sorts of different things around Colorado. Some of the stories affect
everyone and have a wide appeal, others seem more specialized, suited for a
smaller audience. Anyway, I was thinking that after (that is to say if) we
launch our free support page we should contact them and ask them to do a
show about the CoLoCo users group and its free tech support. I'd say that a
free OS + free tech support + a rich and active community right here in
Colorado would make a fairly decent show topic.
