The consensus on the IRC meeting today is that it's better to do this
entirely in the upstream speaker tool.
If you are willing to speak at local events on RDO topics (or any
OpenStack topics) please update your listing on
I'm occasionally approached by Meetup organizers looking for
local(ish)
speakers for their meetups. At one point we had a Subject Matter Experts
list somewhere, but it has fallen far out of date. And I can no longer
keep in my mind where you are all geographically.
I'd like to take another stab at a simple "speaker bureau" page, where
people willing to speak on RDO topics can indicate what topics/talks
they're willing to do, and what their single day or overnight travel
radius might be.
I know that the OpenStack Foundation has a speaker bureau already -
https://www.openstack.org/community/speakers/ - and I encourage you to
add your info there. (I see just 9 of you listed at
https://www.openstack.org/community/speakers/results?search_query=RDO
right now.)
But for RDO-specific speakers, that I can recommend to meetup
organizers, I can also sometimes help out with minimal travel/lodging
funding, as well as sending swag. For this purpose, if you'd like to be
on this list, please submit a pull request for
https://www.rdoproject.org/community/speakers/ to add yourself.
(This page isn't linked from anywhere yet, and won't be until there's a
few more names on it.)
Thanks.
