[SGVLUG] October speaker? Anyone? Buelller?

[Eric Hammond]

The EC2 beginners workshop I am imagining could definitely take longer
than an hour if folks are interested and involved.

Another month is fine with me.

I plan to do something similar at BarCampLA-6 which happens Oct 25-26,
though given the short session times it is likely to be blazing fast
leaving the confused in the dust.
