Chicago's local community of various user groups focused on Drupal. Groups have meetings each month in/around Chicago. Please be sure to join our group if interested in posting or hearing about Drupal-related job opportunities in the Chicagoland area.
The Drupal Chicago Meetup Group holds meetups on various topics and networking opportunities. Presentations and speakers are aimed at a general audience, with site show-and-tells, module demonstrations, news and announcements, and question and answer sessions.
If you live or work in the suburbs, check out the Fox Valley Drupal Meetup group with topics for all users.
Volunteers in the Chicago Drupal Group also organize MidCamp - Midwest Drupal Camp. Drupal camps are multi-day events that can include training days, session days, code and documentation sprints, and social events. Held annually in March, MidCamp is quickly becoming one of the larger and prestigious Drupal camps due to its high level of speakers, content, accessibility, and attention to detail.
Did we mention, the Chicago Drupal community has active and ongoing community discussions going on can be found at https://midcamp.slack.com.

Aria Landmarks placement in page.tpl.php
In our page.tpl.php theme override, there exists the following line.
<!-- footer row: width = grid_width -->
<?php print theme('grid_row', $footer . $footer_message, 'footer', 'full-width', $grid_width); ?>In order to correctly insert Aira Landmarks, am I correct in assuming the following:
<!-- footer row: width = grid_width -->
<span role="contentinfo">
<?php print theme('grid_row', $footer . $footer_message, 'footer', 'full-width', $grid_width); ?>

CDMUG July 2012 Meet Up "Summer Social" Wed 18th @ 6:00pm
RSVP @ http://drupal.meetup.com/1
Wednesday July 18th 2012 @ 6:00pm
Let's face it, Chicago only has so many days in the summer. This results in summer attendance for meetups always being low. We'll meet outside at O'Donovan's Pub which has free parking lot, outdoor bar, food, and wifi for a purely social gathering. We'll be hanging out from 6:00pm until about 9:00pm. No presentations will be planned.

Coworking Friday - July
Join fellow Drupalers for a day of coding and camaraderie. Intended for freelancers, telecommuters, or those who just want to get out of the office for a day, coworking is a time where we can get our own stuff done in the company of others (and hopefully help each other along the way).
We'll be at the Next Door Cafe (659 W Diversey) from 9am to 5pm on July 20th (since the Midwest Developer Summit is the following week) I've reserved the Blue Room (in the back on the right), which has a conference table, but there are plenty of other work areas if you need to run solo for a bit.

DCC2012 - Planning and Concurrent Events
I'm having difficulty finding any information outside of IRC for the DrupalCamp Chicago 2012. Therefore, a discussion about the current steps being taken for DCC2012 should be logged here. We definitely need to come together to organize initiatives/goals for any code sprints for before or after the camp. It would also be good to hear from any parties that will be holding training sessions around the camp.

Drupal Coworking Friday
After a two-month hiatus, I'm hoping to get this to be a regular thing:
Join fellow Drupalers for a day of coding and camaraderie. Intended for freelancers, telecommuters, or those who just want to get out of the office for a day, coworking is a time where we can get our own stuff done in the company of others (and hopefully help each other along the way). I've reserved the Kitchen Table (since neither of the rooms were available), but there's lots of other seating areas depending on your working style. Since there's a cafe on-site no outside food is allowed.
