[Ubuntu Chicago] Ubuntu Chicago Release Party

[Kevin Harriss]

One thing to keep in mind about hosting the party at ID on Nov. 14th
would be that it would have to end by 3pm. However, everyone would be
welcome to stick around and hang out for the Chicago Linux User
Group[1] meeting. I am not sure if anyone on this list is attending
SocialDevCamp but that is the weekend of Nov 7-8th so that might be
something to consider when picking a date. Please let me know as soon
as possible if you want to host it at ID. This will ensure that I
don't schedule anything during that time.
