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

[Brendan Kidwell]

Hi Adam,

As we discussed privately, I asked BLU about having you do a presentation and there is interest. Are you available on September 18? (6:30pm Boston time) If not, perhaps some time later this year.

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.
