The Twelve Clouds of Christmas - Year Seven

It's our December tradition - a dozen (or more) 5 minute lightning demos/talks from the members of CloudAustin! Comment below with name and talk title to get on the list.

You can see the previous years' 12 Clouds lineups for 2016 (https://www.meetup.com/CloudAustin/events/228918521/), 2015 (https://www.meetup.com/CloudAustin/events/226373629/), 2014 (https://www.meetup.com/CloudAustin/events/212248062/), 2013 (https://www.meetup.com/CloudAustin/events/140828762/), 2012 (http://www.eventbrite.com/e/austin-cloud-user-group-meeting-december-18-2012-tickets-4922596619), and 2011 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX1BT9T2tcw). Talks are OK, demos are better, strict 5 minute limit. Show off whatever you're working on!

Various other user groups will be joining us for this festive holiday celebration - if your local tech user group wants to just pile onto this instead of trying to schedule a meeting near the holidays are welcome to call this their official December meeting too, sure! Comment to the effect of "add in XX" below and then point your members to this invite! You can also post it on your own Meetup but please ask members to also RSVP here so we have a good headcount.
