Hello OpenStack Opers and Happy New Year!

I am very excited to announce our first meetup for 2016. The featured speaker will be Kevin Metz of Canonical who will walk us through using Juju (https://jujucharms.com/) to power Machine As A Service (http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/maas)(MaaS) deployments in OpenStack.

Kevin has been working as a Cloud Consultant for Canonical (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjvnMub-KrKAhVPwWMKHRN3BbQQFggtMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.canonical.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNGnBhrE014Rx0d00S-CZgff-AGCRw&sig2=_AAuBbH28D9QNIKC0TczDQ&bvm=bv.112064104,d.cGc) over three years now.
