<div>We will be meeting on Wednesday, September 30th at 6:30 pm at Red Hat's Chicago Office, 101 N. Wacker Drive. Red Hat will be sponsoring pizza and drinks for the meeting. Please note that space is limited to 25 attendees!<br></div>

<div>Christopher Webber will be giving two talks:<br></div>
<div><p style="font-size:12.8px;">Federating the Web: The web is theoretically free software, is powered by free and open technologies, and yet seems to become less free and more centralized by the day. How to take back the web? Christopher Allan Webber of GNU MediaGoblin talks about the state of federation, what's happening at the W3C Social Working Group on standardizing federation standards, the ActivityPump spec, and how you can get involved in taking back the net!<br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;"><br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;">Functional Package Management and Deployment with Guix: Tired of being stuck after an upgrade? Wish your operating system could roll forward and backwards in time, more like Git? Want a way to get *really* reproducible software? Or just want a better alternative to $YOUR_LANGUAGE's stressful packaging ecosystem you can run on an existing distro? And why on earth would you want something called a "symlink forest" anyway? Discover all this and more in this exciting talk about the GNU Guix project!<br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;">Meeting announcement on the Website:<br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;"><a style="font-size:12.8px;" href="https://chicagolug.org/meetings/2015-09-30.html">https://chicagolug.org/meetings/2015-09-30.html</a><br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;"><span class="size" style="font-size:12.8px">RSVP on meetup:</span><br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;"><a href="http://www.meetup.com/wclug-org/events/225423618/">http://www.meetup.com/wclug-org/events/225423618/</a><br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;"><span class="size" style="font-size:12.8px">See you there,</span><br></p><p style="font-size:12.8px;">Meg<br></p></div>

</blockquote><div>Note that the website currently shows the meeting as starting at 6:00pm, but 6:30pm is the correct time (as noted in Meg's message). I will be making the correction to show the 6:30pm time on the website later today.<br></div>
