Hi All,

before everybody leaves for the well-deserved summer-vacation :) ...

Here it comes: The invite for the next Spark Meetup.

This time Tenable is going to host us.

And we already have one excellent talk lined up (please see below).

And I am thinking to complement this talk with 2-3 short lightening talks (10 min presentation + 3 mins of Q&A).

Soooooo ... if you have something interesting to share/talk about ... let me know.

See you in September!!!

Regards ...
Roland
