[ONLINE] Fireside Chat with Michael Fraser

Instead of your typical Meetup where we have a speaker delivering a talk on a particular topic, with some demos followed by a Q&A, we will shift formats to do a Fireside Chat. For those of you who've never heard of Fireside Chat, can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireside_chats

The quick version, this will be like an Open Q&A or as often also referred to as "Ask Me Anything". So please come prepared with questions on opensource, security, DevSecOps, culture, CI/CD pipelines, private/public/hybrid clouds, or anything you think Michael might have a passion discussing.

This is YOUR Meetup, make it count!
