[tpm] Call for speakers/topics for July 26th.

[Alex Beamish]

Hi Jordan,

I did say I would address the meeting about MongoDB, and while the spirit
is willing, the tuits are few for this task. In addition, a web site client
has dumped a ton of post-project work on me which will keep me busy for
some time. I'm hopeful I'll be able to do this talk in August instead.
