Always a lot of fun isn't it ;)

I would be as well. I would like to learn Python a little (a lot actually) 
more. It seems a hackathon is a favorite so far. I like what John said as 
well, incorporating it so us non-hackers can participate as well, and even 
learn a little more hacking. I haven't hacked C++ in a long time, and Python 
I just mess around with here and there trying to learn it.

NOTED! You will definitely be a lot of help then with organizing events. Also 
guys, the Chicago LUG does some cool stuff too, and is another way that we 
can get more involved in the community. John and those guys have a lot of 
experience setting stuff like this up as well. But Ubuntu Chicago definitely 
needs another meeting though to pick out projects, create projects, hang out, 
hack, document, and learn. A full day would be cool, but we need to try to 
work around as many people as possible.

I am down pretty much for any location within 30 minutes, 45 minutes as well. 
So that is the burbs and the city pretty much. Parking would be good as well.

Thanks again Max for the email and the offers, we can definitely use that help 
with the next event w/o a doubt.
