Last December, many of the local software developer User Groups banded
together and had a party (instead of the regular meetings). It was known
as the Winter Coders Social.

In August, we had a Summer Coder’s Social
as the outdoor and sunny successor!

Now, we’re having a second Winter Coders’ Social. Good and geeky times
will be had by all. Come join us.
Bring yourself, games if you have them, and a dish to share.
Food:
Some beverages will be provided.

Fun:
We’ll be playing games, like last year, so bring ‘em!
There will be a programming competition! Any language welcome, no
particular toolkits or api skills necessary. These’ll be problems that
just require thought. If enough of you are interested and bring a
language that you’re only vaguely familiar with, we’ll have a separate
league for language newbies. Prizes? Bragging rights! Plus a surprise
or two.
