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 Dog Days of DevOps, like our Twelve Clouds of Christmas, is a fast, furious, fun style meetup. Here's a past event for review!

Food courtesy of Q2 (who is also our host!).
Drinks (nonalcoholic) courtesy of Red Hat.
More sponsors still welcome!
