POSI (http://posithon.org) May Meeting
Tuesday, May 19th at 7:00 pm
Pumping Station One
3354 N. Elston Ave, Chicago, IL

After consulting with the members of Pumping Station One, the new
hacker collective in Chicago, we will be holding the POSI-Chicago May
meeting at the new hackerspace on 3354 N. Elston Ave, Chicago, IL on
Tuesday, May 19th, at 7:00 pm. Immediately after the meeting, the
Pumping Station One weekly meeting will start, so this will be an
opportunity for those not aware of what's going on there to drop in
and see what's up. (You will be required to sign a liability waiver
to be admitted inside Pumping Station One.)

Please advertise this meeting on your Meetup groups (i.e. FVCP,
FRV-Entrepreneur, and SemWeb), and social network sites. More
information can be found on the POSI website (http://posithon.org).

We will record the meeting and upload the results to the POSI site.
