Message-ID: Hello everyone, I moved away from Chicago a long time ago and haven't managed to find another PM group. With the pandemic it seems that folks are meeting online. Is there any interest in trying this with Chicago.PM? I realize that this month may not be the month to do it (since we have the Perl conference coming up) but I would be delighted if I could join in upcoming meetings. I would even be open to helping organize, if need be. Of course, the nice thing about virtual meetings is we could invite anyone from anywhere, as long as the timing works out. :) Thoughts?

Andy Bach had a good idea: announce our July meeting in a lightning talk. Tomorrow's lightning talks will take place from 5:30-6:30 EDT, so please vote no later than 4PM Chicago time if you want me to incorporate it into my decision and announcement. Thanks!
