The Dog Days of DevOps

August. Summer's gotten long. The kids aren't back to school yet. People are taking vacations. It's hot. Tech meetups lag.

We have the antidote for these summer doldrums! CloudAustin's Twelve Clouds of Christmas (https://www.meetup.com/CloudAustin/events/228918521/) is our traditional December holiday lightning talk event that we invite other user groups to join us for, since it's hard to schedule meetings in December. It's so popular we've decided to do a second one, so this year we're happy to introduce the Dog Days of DevOps!

We'll have a dozen (or more) 5 minute lightning demos/talks delivered by all of you! Email (austin-cug-admin@googlegroups.com) or comment below with your name and the talk's title and 1-sentence blurb to get on the list. Any cloudy, devopsey, containery, high-tech-y talk or demo is welcome.

Other user groups are invited to join us, just email us or comment below and tell us you're in, then advertise the meeting on your own meetup or whatever.

Sponsors are welcome! At 12 Clouds we have a food sponsor, treat sponsor, one or more booze sponsors, and people who have drawings for door prizes. So encourage your organization to sponsor and get goodwill from a big bunch of the best techies in the ATX.
