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

[John Abreau]

This is great, thanks!

I've updated the link for sunrisedata, and added the two paragraphs to the
abstract.

The BLU calendar is a CGI front-end to a postgresql database, and a number
of PHP pages that also pull from the same database. I don't rewrite any
html to add a calendar entry; I just add or update records in the database.

The linking of a speaker's name to their local speaker profile is
hard-coded into the postgresql code. It's not a variable that can be
arbitrarily redirected.

I've added the two links for your project blog and your mastodon page to
the "2024-sep" event record. They show up near the bottom of the page,
under "Attachments".
