Some have talked about a Northern IL/Southern WI LUG for us in the
Chicago/Milwaukee area. The sad thing is GMLUG is WAY too spread out to make
meetings practical. I've driven to a MichLUG meet before (4hrs from Wheaton,
IL) and that's probably the extent I'm willing to drive.
I dunno how much time I'll be spending in the Chicago area, but there's a
possibility I'll be home this summer I know (there's also a possibility that
I'll be working out of state). If I am in the area, I definitely want to be
involved.
I've also heard mention about one person wanting to form a Northern Illinois
LTC - hopefully soon he'll start working on that. That would be wonderful!
Anyways, I'll be back in Chicago end of May or beginning of June, for how long,
I dunno exactly. Maybe a week, maybe the whole summer.
