XDS Location Proposal - Chicago

[Michael Larabel]

X.Org Board:

I see your logs from this week where XDS 2011 was discussed and 
wondering whether or not I had volunteered to organize such an event, etc.

If you are indeed interested in an XDS Chicago, I would be fine with 
working on the organization of the event. I hadn't been in contact since 
writing the proposal since I was under the impression that you guys were 
still evaluating the different options, it seems the board usually takes 
a while to decide on matters, etc. I figured you would just contact me 
if interested and I am fine either way.

Anyhow, let me know if there are any other questions.
