On the location of the meetings
I want to include as many people as possible in the Chicago area. Perhaps we can alternate locations -- Chicago, Suburbs, etc. Please post suggestions here. I will also try to find a place more conducive for lecture-type of activities.
MDD: Where do people live? I'm in Wheaton.
sheila: I live near Lawrence and Kimball, but work in Schaumburg.
MGS: Although I won't be able to attend (I live in San Francisco), I'm interested to know what Clif Flynt will be saying about the BWidget toolkit. Some sort of beginners' tutorial guide? New features? Future plans? Just curious.
