Subject: [chicago-lisp] How alive is this group?
Message-ID: <44035D60.6090001@phaedrusdeinus.org>

A few questions:

1. Is this group alive? The info page suggests we have over 30 people 
subscribed, but given the lack of traffic, i was wondering how many are 
still in Chicago and interested in being part of a Lisp UG.

2. Does this group have any organizers? (I can guess the answer to this, 
but hey)

3. Is there any desire to have a meeting? If so, are people more city- 
or suburb-based?

Answers appreciated from anyone.

Some of us have moved out of the state entirely... though it's not like 
there's much going on in Minneapolis (at least lisp-wise).

Never lived in Chicago, but always interested in a nearby LISP UG....

How about country-based?  :-)

When choosing locations, I'd prefer North Chicago, Waukegan, area - or 
Rockford, etc...  I'm out there - 2hrs from Waukegan and 1hr from 
Rockford....

But hey, LISP is LISP, right?

I might add - Scheme is nice, but it is different from Lisp; I'm 
interested in Lisp, not Scheme (no reflection on the languages or the 
people...)  That's just my interest.  Seems like the Scheme interest is 
more active (maybe?)....
