		<description>I just found this post.  I believe at this moment Chicago is staring directly at an inflection point in its history and possible future.  The success of many of our tech start-ups combined with the light Groupon has brought to our city gives us an opportunity to officially come together as an industry.  There hasn&#039;t been enough open discussion and mutual collaboration of companies and founders combined with a less-than-supportive press not willing to support the tech community.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s about creating the right culture and attracting the right talent.  We are staring at our opportunity.  There is a window open but it will close if we don&#039;t leverage the moment.  Together.</description>
