[chicago-lisp] News and updates

[John Quigley]

Folks:

Sorry for the quiet on my end over the past few weeks, I've been 
somewhat unplugged from the Net in an attempt to get some rest during 
the holidays.

I've recently purchased and setup our domain name:

http://www.chicagolisp.org/

It currently redirects to the Chicago LUG website, but I'll be putting 
up a stub page for us in the next few days.

Some news updates:

- Over the holidays I organized the acquisition of a new server for the 
Chicago Lisp and LUG groups.  It's a nice machine, specifically a Dell 
PowerEdge Xeon 3GHz, 2GB RAM and hardware RAID.  I've also organized for 
a new collocated hosting of the machine, in a nice data center down 
south with redundant OC3s.  In short, we're in great shape.  I expect 
everything to be up and running around the end of January.

- The Chicago LUG is meeting a week from this coming Saturday, on 
January 20th, 2007 at 3:00p at the Institute of Design.  It may be 
appropriate for us to meet as the Lisp group again, as well, in order to 
more clearly define where we intend to go as a group in '07.  I'll leave 
this up to you folks to determine whether this is necessary or not, and 
what the logistics will be.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, and best of luck to you all in 
the new year.

Regards,
John Quigley
