[Ubuntu Chicago] Ubuntu Illinois Proposal

[Man-Chicken]

I would like to offer my house in Champaign as a regular meeting location for 
this group.  Manchicken's house of hacking would be open for meetings and 
storage for meetings.  I know many are far from Champaign, but I thought that 
in the interest of having a more state-wide LoCo, Champaign--being smack-dab 
in the middle of the state--would be an excellent staging ground.
