[Steering Committee] Fwd: Re: Possible Oklahoma City JUG Visit

[Jason Lee]

I think I've mentioned that I might be able get a couple of outside 
speakers to come in. This is my friend Mark, who is a Dev Advocate with 
Pivotal. It looks like his availability lines up with our January 
meeting, though we might be able to sneak him somewhere else.

Thoughts? I've CC'd Vance on this in case any of the other Techlahoma 
groups might be interested. Not sure who would be meeting that week, but 
it's worth a shot. I have another email from a Google guy I met at 
JavaOne that I'll forward shortly.

If we're going to aim for January, we need to decide pretty quickly and 
get his time booked.

Hi Jason,

I'd love to do that! I've included Tasha Isenberg on this email to help 
coordinate everything; she's kind of the scheduling 
genius/make-it-happen logistics wiz/etc. for our team, so she can easily 
make up for my failings in, well, pretty much everything. Tasha, 
Jason...Jason, Tasha. :D

At this point, my schedule looks open for the week of January 16 (not 
the 16th itself, that's Martin Luther King Jr's birthday), the week of 
February 27 (extends into March 1-3), or the latter half of April. There 
are other openings interspersed throughout, but let's start with these 
and see if any work for you. If not, we may need to improvise a bit. :)

Tasha, would it be possible to connect with local Pivotal folks to see 
about perhaps hitting some other sites/meetups/etc. once we solidify a 
date? Maybe we can make this a roaming "party" and take care of all of 
the travel internally. :)

Jason, thanks for inviting me, hope to see you again soon. Bringing the 
Spring (& some Cloud Foundry goodness) to OKC, brother!

Cheers,
Mark

    Hello, Mark. At JavaOne, we discussed the possibility of you coming
    out to the Oklahoma City JUG and giving a presentation over
    something Spring-related. I'd like to get the ball rolling on that
    and see if we can work out details on if and when.

    I will say up front, in case that makes things easier ;), that we
    don't really have any  sort of travel budget, as we rely heavily on
    donations from area businesses, and that pretty much covers
    facilities and food. :) We've recently moved under the umbrella of a
    local tech non-profit (http://www.techlahoma.org/) that *might* be
    able to offer something like, but I wouldn't bet the bank on it. :)

    So, if that doesn't close the door on a visit, I'd love to find a
    time that works for you. We're really not very picky on topics, but
    I know I'd love to see Spring Boot in action, or anything
    microservices-related, honestly. As you know, though, the Spring
    family is pretty large, so I'm perfectly happy letting you pick
    whatever's got you the most excited at the moment.

    At any rate, I've rambled long enough. Talk to your people about it,
    and we'll go from there. :)

    Many thanks!
