[Discuss] potential presentation at BLU by Adam Monsen: Steadfast Self-Hosting

[brendan at glump.net (Brendan Kidwell)]

I don't see a lot of discussion on this list about future BLU meeting presentations, so I apologize if this isn't the right forum; please let me know if I should be discussing this privately with the club officers instead.

A couple of months ago after seeing Adam Monsen present his work-in-progress at LibrePlanet, I contributed some effort to the final QA process for instructions in his book "Steadfast Self-Hosting" < https://selfhostbook.com >. The book is licensed under the Creative Commons License. In the text he lays out an argument that you should be hosting your software services at home instead of using Silicon Valley's free cloud services, and then he lays out his procedure for bootstrapping yourself with Ubuntu, Ansible, Docker, and his (freely-licensed) management scripts that he wrote for the book.

Now he's doing a "book tour" of computer clubs, spreading the word about his book. Would BLU be interested in this presentation in the next few months?
