The Online News Association, the premier organization for online journalists, is holding a meetup Wednesday night (March 24), and you are invited.  It’s not an official Hacks/Hackers event, but it’s a chance to network with Chicago area online journalists. Location: the [Holiday Club][2], 4000 N. Sheridan Rd. (near Sheridan and Irving Park).

The main speaker will be Muhammad Saleem, the social media director of ChicagoNow.com, who will report on what he learned at South by Southwest Interactive.

I’ll be there to talk up the idea of Hacks & Hackers and explore interest in some kind of Chicago event later this year.  I’ll also be happy to answer questions about the Medill School of Journalism’s scholarship program for programmer/developers.  Hope to see you there.
