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

[Peter Baumgarten]

I may be biased towards meetup.com since that is how I discovered and
starting coming to ChicagoLUG meetings, but I see it as just another tool
or avenue to do discovery and getting a head count for our meetings among
the many avenues that we have.  I think it is worth it for the discovery
aspect alone.

If I understand Jim right we would pay $14.99 a month which less than what
we spend on Pizza per month. We can also collect money from meetup.com so
we could have a situation where only people using the meetup.com would be
paying for it.
