Hi all, I haven't received any offers as of yet and I have been able to expand the speakers to also include someone to speak on Moose. These speakers are coming up from the US at their own expense, so it would be great to see some community spirit in providing them with accommodation in exchange for their time and effort.

I am interested in it to be recorded (in general).

This will affect my ability to organize and host the meetings, but I'm hoping that some folks will help out there. I'm also going to try organizing a few more out of town speakers and finalize details with the speakers coming up from Portland, etc. I believe Luke Closs is trying to put together a Super Happy Dev House Hack night soon, so hopefully he'll hit the list up shortly.
