Digest #258
 
THANK YOU to Plantronics and Dignity Health Medical Networks for renewing your annual partnerships with us!

Game development fits in here quite well, too. We wrote about the local gaming wave in 2014 in Garden of Gaming in Santa Cruz is Tilled and Ready for Growth (4/15/2014) although some of the key players have changed in the 4 1/2 years since then.
