[Chicago-tech] Re: [CIMC-working] FW: [Imc-chicago] IMC-chicago site hosting

[Ian Bicking]

Not really.  The invitation isn't to us particularly, but was sent to
lots of IMCs, so there's no particular response I think we have to make
(unless we take up the offer).

We could take the offer, though I'm still interested in seeing if
there's hope for Stallman.  Everyone was kind of low-energy by the time
we got around to talking about it at the meeting, so we didn't really go
into it.
