We've got several requests from folks who are traveling from out-of-state, as well as out-of-country to Chicago for JoomlaEXPO and Joomla University, on May 17th.
If you are SEEKING a room mate, you are free to use this forum thread to let people know.
If you are willing to SHARE a room, or open your home here in the nearby Chicago area, you may post your information here as well.
While we're hopefully helping you make initial contact via this forum, please make direct contact and make arrangement with your prospective room mate(s) directly via phone or email. This is a public forum, after all.
(Obligatory advice and disclaimer: Please post information, and make accommodation arrangements using your own personal best judgment, thank you.)
