[Ubuntu Chicago] ubuntu chicago follow up and notes

[Eddie Martinez]

Robert:

No worries about being busy. The great part about this software model
is that the flexibility allows for others to come in and out of
projects without disrupting the general momentum of the project.
Hopefully there is time down the road for you to help out, we would
appreciate it. I will try and integrate the suggestions into the Wiki
as much as possible, but I won't deny that these technologies are
above my paygrade.

Wally:

Will you be around for the 5th (of Jan.) to help us setup these
denyhost capabilities?

-Eddie
