[OKC JUG] OKC JUG April Meeting

[Jason Lee]

In my excitement about Ligers, I failed to mention a very significant  
data point:  This month, the JUG will be held at the OKC Coworking  
Collaborative at 7th and Hudson, downtown.  For directions, please see  
this map:

Many thanks to Derrick Parkhurst and the rest of the CoCo crew for  
their hospitality in hosting this month's session.
