Good suggestions, I am planning on getting the list of suggested topics and speakers up in the website. I also want to put a submission form for speakers up too. I plan to do the OBS talk in August.

I like the idea of a candidates form. I should ask Fred Weigel if he would talk about leading a team maintaining ZFS.

I have topic ideas, but no speakers... This is your group too and the BOD can only do so much.
I will be posting a link in the next coming days with a list of topics. If you feel you can do a talk, or know of someone who can, on any of them, please reach out (speakers@gtalug.org <mailto:speakers@gtalug.org>).
I still have no speaker for next week, not for the lack of trying.
Hey Alan,
Really was looking forward to your OBS talk tonight; I hope the family is alright!
This thread is peculiar. I came to several of the AI meetings & asked about a list of upcoming talks and how they're submitted.
At those sessions, it was suggested to me that this is taken care of solely by the BOD or those in the circle; therefore, I assumed it was invite only. The May meeting also suggests it's request topics only -- not submit or wrangle others to submit.
Perhaps a submission form can be added to the website, for those that stumble upon GTALUG but haven't yet joined the ML.
As for talk requests, I'd love to have the likes of Avery Pennarun (Tailscale) or Allan Jude (ZFS / ZFS on Linux) come and share their thoughts, but I'm not connected to them personally.
Warm regards,
