Chicago Chapter - Successful First Meeting

We had a great turn out at our first Chicago Chapter meeting.

Thanks to all that attended and there was a great SQL Injection presentation.

I will be sending out a copy of the presentation to the Chicago Chapter list shortly. If anyone has any follow up questions please send them to the mailing list so everyone can benefit.

Based upon everyone's feed back, the next meeting will be March 23rd from 6pm - 8pm at the same location.

The topic as of right now is TBD. If you would like to present on a topic please let me know. If you know anyone who would like to join please point them to the mailing list to get signed up.
