I haven't heard anything from the staff of the hosting facilties, however, looking over their information, i'm under the impression that they will only contact me if there's a problem. I'm obiviously going to confirm this before the meet itself, but i'll post information at this time (which is subject to change) I apoligize about not posting spefic details earlier, but if problems were to arise, it would be much easier to deal with them if i hadn't announced spefic times, dates and locations. As soon as i can completely confirm things, i'll contact jude and get this on the front page.
The meet will take place between 12:00-4:00 on Saturday the 17th of janurary at the Shorewood Public Library, 3920 N. Murray Ave, Shorewood, WI 53211. It will be in the north side meeting hall (I'll see if i can get signs posted for directions) and the room is fairly large. Think slightly smaller than the chicago meeting room, with probably half the total number of attendies. Parking is plentiful, and isn't something that needs to be worried about.
All are welcome, and if people have friends who are intrested in comming, i encourage you to bring them along. I can't put together a gear list at this time because i have not talked to all attendies, but i assure you, this one is worth going to.
If anyone has any more questions.
At this point, i encourage everyone to bring powerstrips/surge protectors, one potentional issue is that of power output, the meeting room only has 5 wall outlets, so we're going to have to take that problem into our own hands. Also, bring any extra sources you have lying around, lack of sources could potentionally be a problem.
I also encourage anyone in the chicago area to attend this meet, as at this time, the future of the chicago meets are uncertain (and i won't comment more on that at this time). Oh, and john_jcb, you owe me 15 bucks for the rootbeer.
