## la_os_meetup.txt
Hi folks,

I’m hoping to revitalize this group in the coming months. I’ll be organizing events which focus on open source technologies, and bringing contributors to speak and teach.

I also want to encourage people who have an interest and have never presented or want to be more comfortable to get involved. The only way to be good at it is to start somewhere. My expectation is to have some events with 2 40-minute “expert” sessions and then 3-4 “lightning talks” of 5-10 minutes each to allow for new people or people exploring a new topic to share with the group.

This is our group, so please let me know what topics you’re interested in, or if you are interested in contributing or presenting, and I’ll try to organize them. I’m also gathering sponsors to provide food/drinks/locations, so if you are able to offer those as well, they are very welcome.

Looking forward to meeting you all.
