Chris Webber pinged me on irc today and said that he's planning to be in
Chicago on September 30th and would like to give a talk. For those who
don't know Chris, he helped me and Jim found the LUG, he is the lead
developer of MediaGoblin <http://mediagoblin.org/>, and he gives awesome
talks :) He'd proposed two topics and is willing to give either/both talks:
    - Functional package management with Guix
    - Federation and ActivityPump

We would need to meet on Wednesday night instead of our usual Saturday
time, though, and it's likely the meeting would be held either at the Red
Hat office downtown or FreeGeek.

What do you all think? Also, does anyone else have a talk they'd like to
propose?

Cheers,
Meg
