Early – Mid – Late in the month? • We need other site and catering sponsors – ideally we want to rotate each month • We have tons of local talent from many different companies, so speakers is not an issue, but… Start with primers and mature? Topic based instead (i.e. Automation, HA, Apps) Semi-Random based on speaker/sponsor availability • Co-organizers: Today it’s Scott Lowe and Shannon McFarland – We would like two more to help organize and cover when we are traveling • Other junk? © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
