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

[John Abreau]

Hi, Brendan.

Yes, that would be an excellent topic for an upcoming meeting.

We're currently looking for a speaker for our September 18 meeting. If Adam
is available that day, that would be great. If he cannot do September 18,
then November 20 and December 18 are available.

Can you send me his contact info?

The list for discussing upcoming meetings is "officers at blu.org". I've
deleted discuss at blu.org from my reply and added officers at blu.org to the cc
list.
