[tpm] October meeting / speakers needed

[Yanick Champoux]

I'll assume the silence means that people would be thrilled to have of 
those topics, so I'll go ahead and pick #2, mostly because the meeting 
is so close to Halloween. My goal is have a talk that feels like a 
roller-coaster ride: by the end you'd hopefully have screamed in 
terrified glee, suffered a mild contusion, and concurrently pray never 
have to do through it again / ponder jumping right back for a second round.

Joy,
`/anick
