The Twelve Clouds of Christmas - Year Ten

It's our December tradition - a dozen (or more) 5 minute lightning demos/talks from the members of CloudAustin and the larger Austin technical community!

Email (austin-cug-admin@googlegroups.com) or comment below with name and talk title to get on the list. Talks are OK, demos are better, there is a strict 5 minute limit. Show off whatever you're working on! Anyone can speak.
