[Chicago-talk] Regular meetings start again in January

[Warren Lindsey]

I agree with Jason on this.  "Regular Meetings" is great news to me.
With regular meetings comes more attendance and we build momentum.
Perhaps then somebody will be motivated enough to have one in the city
again.  I prefer the idea that we can always count on Andy's place and
we can have Chicago meetings whenever anyone can make them happen.

Regular presenters will be harder to come by than regular spaces :-)
Maybe the next presentation could be, "Applying the Traveling Salesman
problem to visiting all past, present, and proposed Chi.PM meeting
places as visualized on a moving Google Maps display"
