Chicago Androids June 6 meeting

[Roberto Serrano]

Dear Androids,

Per the discussion below, Kevin Harris is proposing to host a meeting together - instead of the my original idea of two separate meetings in tandem.

The meeting would take place Saturday June 6th from 3 to 6PM.

In addition, since there was a decent amount of people interested in a "starting from scratch kind of presentation" for our next meeting,  I proposed that and they are also interested in that approach as well.

I would love to have a more advance presentation as well, but if no developer wants to step up, we will have a two part intro session, as described in the thread.

Finally, it seems that Barcamp will take place on July 10th.

Please, let me know what do you think.

Roberto

You may want to CC the old list for a bit, You don't even have half
the people signed on to the new list.

Also, everything sounds good as far as i'm concerned. (dates, times, etc)
