[chiglug] LUG infra hacking

[Rob Dux]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to suggest hosting this event at my employer's office in River
North right off the Brown Line @ Superior (Chicago stop).

I'm flexible, open to a weeknight or Saturday afternoon.

We might have some additional engineers available to contribute to frontend
/ website work and along with the systems and infrastructure automation
work.

Rob
