LOPSA Live is a chance for members of LOPSA to interact directly with members of the Board. You can ask questions, make suggestions and give feedback in a smaller, "focus group" online chat.

Join us on IRC on irc.lopsa.org in the channel #lopsa-live from 3-4 US/Eastern on Thursday, April 10th to talk about anything and everything LOPSA.

We are slightly earlier than last time time as we continue to move the timing around to ensure that people with regularly scheduled events that conflict with certain times will be able to participate eventually.

Please let us know if you have questions about LOPSA Live.
