The Twelve Clouds of Christmas

This month is our holiday tradition and biggest meeting of the year - the Twelve Clouds of Christmas! CloudAustin is hosting, and Austin DevOps (https://www.meetup.com/austin-devops/) and the Agile Austin DevOps SIG (http://www.agileaustin.org/category/agile-austin-events/devops-sig/) are joining forces with us for the event.

It consists of a series of timed 5 minute lightning demos given by you, the cloud practitioners of the greater Austin area. You can watch the 2011 event on YouTube to get an idea! Also, here's the 2012 event agenda (http://www.eventbrite.com/e/austin-cloud-user-group-meeting-december-18-2012-tickets-4922596619).

Sign up in the comments below and we'll add you to the list! We don't stop at 12... Vendors can present but it best be a cool demo not a sales pitch or else we reserve the right to throw food at you. Format is a 5 minute (hard time limit), ideally a demo but an Ignite style talk is OK if it's really as cool as a demo.
