The roos shall flock again...
-----------------------------

A somewhat overdue response to a post made back in February by
tildecow[1]: there will definitely be a ROOPHLOC 2020, as long as the
internet is still up and running in August!

Ha ha, only serious.

I did see this post back when it was made, and I briefly toyed with
the idea of declaring March as some kind of "ROOPHLOC warm up" month.
This was motivated by the annual retrocomputing event
RetroChallenge[2], which has "winter warmup" events in January before
the main event in September.  Maybe I'll do just this in future, but
obviously it wouldn't have worked out very well in 2020 with so many
people being under various lockdown conditions.

Anyway, I'm very glad that people are already looking forward to
future ROOPHLOCs!
