[Ubuntu Chicago] Ubuntu Chicago Release Party

[Ryan Moss]

If it is down there I will take the Metra line. Union station is less than 10 blocks away, or I "could" drive but cheaper and less hassel. I agree that there was not a huge turnout at the bug jam because location. I would suggest it again but more people would probably show up downtown, partly because of public transportation.

If we do it at the Institute of Design, it would be at 350 N. LaSalle
Ave Chicago IL 60610. This is easily accesible from the CTA and has a
parking garage across the street.
