[Chicago] March Chipy Meeting

[Pete]

Hi all-

In an effort to to take some pressure off the in-town folks, I hereby declare 
myself de-facto coordinator of the March Chipy meeting.  Huzzah!

Chipy's March Meeting, our best (and maybe biggest) ever!  We'll be having it 
the night before Pycon, at the Pycon space, so hopefully we'll attract early 
Pycon arrivers and show them how we kick it Chicago style.

Date: Thursday, 3/13. 7 pm.  A bit later than usual to give folks more time 
get out to O'hare.

Location: Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare hotel 5440 N River Rd Rosemont, IL 60018

Directions: http://us.pycon.org/2008/chicago/hotel/  The hotel is 3 blocks 
from the Rosemont blue line stop.

Speakers:
Peter Fein - GrassyKnoll: A web service for collections 
http://grassyknoll.googlecode.com

Post-Meeting:
Pycon needs help!  Schwag bags need stuffing and t-shirts need folding.  Make 
your mamma proud by showing off those folding skillz. Beer and pizza may be 
provided.  This is a great, low commitment opportunity to help make Chicago's 
first Pycon a success.

Logistics:
My talk is likely to be longish, but perhaps we'd have some time for a few 
short talks as well.  IIRC, someone else expressed interest on the mailing 
list, but I can't find the message... Please email me if you're interested in 
presenting.

As usual, details are subject to change, as we figure out what hotel space is 
available.

w00t!

--Pete
