[Ubuntu Chicago] Global Jam

[Corey Gallon]

I have reserved a room for us at the Schaumburg Library which will hold 25 people and is equipped with wireless networking, a projector, and desks.  They could only do as early as Noon, although they are open until 9 pm.  I reserved the room until 6 pm, although if we think we need it longer I can revise that.  Please let me know if this works.  I realize it would have been ideal to find something downtown, but this is rather close, no?

We have typically had about 15-20 people show up for these type of
events.  I think we had about 12 people at our Global Bug Jam event
earlier this year (late winter / early spring).  Do you think that the
WBEZ location would work?

If you could ask your supervisor, that would be great.  :-)

If this doesn't work out, we need to consider other options ASAP.  :)
