Howdy folks - not sure if we should do these on marketing@ or dev@, but =
going to try and see if I can stoke the speaker thing outside our own =
community, a bit.

I=E2=80=99m a mentor with Holberton School[1] - it=E2=80=99s a little =
different than a standard dev bootcamp, requiring students to have 6 =
months hands-on education, 6 months in an internship, and then 6 months =
remote continuing education. They bring in a lot of industry folks to =
talk about various topics - I saw mention this morning of an OpenStack =
presentation, needled them about a CloudStack talk, and was told if I =
had a speaker they were more than game.

So - audience is a bunch of very(!) eager to learn but very junior =
technologists. Setting is at Holberton=E2=80=99s space in downtown San =
Francisco. Topic would be the standard =E2=80=9Cwhat is cloudstack=E2=80=9D=
 type talk, or I=E2=80=99ve always been a fan of getting a room of folks =
to get devcloud/similar up on their laptops.

Anybody interested or know somebody? I could do it, but planning on =
doing a container security talk and don=E2=80=99t want to overexpose =
them to my smiling face=E2=80=A6 :)

John
