[UFO Chicago] Next NPOTechs meeting: Community Wifi in Chicago

[John Stanton]

Hey Sten,

The meeting is actually tomorrow if you have tomorrow free.

 Fear not though, because this is just a taste of the panel discussion 
at Community Tech Day on the 24th. We are gonna have Wigle, Free the 
Future, The Center for Neighborhood Technology and Prarienet all in the 
same place talking about how a concerted wifi rollout in Chicago. a la 
portland. Even cooler than the talk is the Cantenna how-to that FTF is 
doing.

I am geeked.

Check out http://communitytechday.org

Brought to you by the friendly peeps at NPOTechs, of course  :-)
