onShore is a great place for a meetup, but the space is limited. Many offers have arose in the past for new meetup locations, but never are followed up on. I have talked to several people about spots, but I never hear back after a few emails.
If anyone has a recommendation on a location, please discuss it here. Keep in mind we will have some requirements and may need even larger space for a special Chicago event.
Requirements: (feel free to add/remove)
- Free
- Central area of Chicago close to everyone
- Free parking
- Close to CTA
- Multiple power hook up
- Internet connection suitable for web developers
- Projector
- Availability once, every month
- Comfortably host 20 - 40 people
We at icstars|* would like to invite the CDMUG group to use our space at 212 w Superior

CDMUG is open source.
Got a bigger more free venue?
Share it rather than (whine || bitch || complain) ing.
Otherwise keep the L.A.M.E. Comments to yourself.
well I hope you find it soon.. because it's pretty lame to be bounced out of a meeting because it was "full". i had some pretty cool stuff to share/teach.

Don't worry too much. CDMUG happens every month, so there is plenty of time.
Please feel free to share any ideas on this website. The forum is starting to become fairly popular. The group can work together all month based on this website. There are many things we can accomplish without meeting in person.
