[Ubuntu Chicago] Next meeting and CLC project and New Leaders Election and Code Sprinting and ...

[Eddie Martinez]

Anyone want to propose a date? I am prior contracted to speak to the Chiglug
group on the 19th about lockpicking (fyi: I will be speaking in a giant
zombero the whole time), so that is out of the question for me. that is to
say, unless we meet before the chiglug meeting. perhaps I am reading too
much into jim's words and grabbing a suggestion that the next meeting be at
CLC, which might be a little too much CLC action for the rest of the team to
handle.

I would like to try and organize some sort of Chicago effort for the code
sprint Mike and I have been trying to plant. This is Feb 9th, and I need to
change the wiki for that project quite a bit. It would seem like a good
idea, at least for my agenda, to meet sometime before than and try to rally
the troops.

my thoughts.
