Message-ID: <4638189F.9050800@jquigley.com>

Folks:

The Chicago GNU/Linux Group is meeting on Cinco de Mayo, Saturday, May 
5th, 2007 at 3:00pm.  As a part of our Chicago Open Source Tour, we'll 
be meeting at the Cleversafe, Inc. offices, right off the red and green 
lines by US Cellular Field:

Our presentations are set to be:

     * Programming with Lua  (Tristan Sloughter)
     * Ruby on Rails         (Evan Farrar)
     * Intro To Unicode      (Clyde Forrester)

We'll be celebrating Cinco de Mayo as a group with a soccer game before 
the meeting, at 1p, and a BBQ with drinks at a nearby house afterwards, 
around 6p.  This is a community thing, and we'd love to see some new 
faces, so please come on out!

Here is a map that plots out where we'll be:

Subject: [chicago-lisp] Announcing TechCoffee, Season 4
Message-ID: <4703EB54-503A-419A-9884-59C2BC457409@phaedrusdeinus.org>

Hear, ye! Hear, ye! TechCoffee is set to begin its fourth Season!

TechCoffee Season 4 starts Monday, May 7th, at 6AM, and continues for  
ten weeks.

Do you code in your off time? Do you really *want* to code in your  
off time, but end up engaging in debates on Slashdot instead?

At TechCoffee, you get up early, and go hang out for a couple hours  
with other people who are coding. It's like a running club, only  
creative. Or a knitting bee with less chitchat. Or a hackathon that  
lasts only a couple hours.

It's an idea that's had three successful seasons so far, and is  
primed to get us up and out in the morning air.

WHEN: Show up at 6AM Monday morning (May 7th), and every monday  
morning after that, till July 9th.

WHERE: The Caribou Coffee located at 200 N LaSalle (the corner of  
LaSalle and Lake), easily accessible from all L lines.

Ten weeks is how long we last. One commit a week is all we ask.
