[chiglug] "Windy City Linux Users Group" on meetup.com

[eviljoel]

Hey All,

I'm quite certain Meetup.com significantly increases meeting attendance.
However, since our meetings are already listed on a Meetup.com site, I'm
not sure how much we would benefit from having our own Meetup.com page.
Our meetings are already pretty packed. I'm not sure we need more attendees.

Thanks,
eviljoel
