Hello everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster to the list. Quick introduction, I'm Leslie Hawthorn, Community Manager for Elasticsearch. I joined Elasticsearch Inc. in mid-August 2013 to focus on helping the user community blossom and share their knowledge most effectively. I also work on marketing efforts, including our community blog, customer case studies and events worldwide to educate folks about Elasticsearch. I'm frequently hearing from community meetup organizers that they are looking for more speakers on Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana topics and I am confident that several folks on this list would be interested in giving talks at local meetups. Folks are also looking for co-organizers or are interested in kicking off an Elasticsearch meetup in their home city. If you'd be interested in getting involved in meetups, please take a moment to fill out this form so I can begin connecting everyone. [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qBZ6Fwq4JWw7FH3s6C9Q3KeGCvUOmWYOvNMsxNqkCNM/viewform](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qBZ6Fwq4JWw7FH3s6C9Q3KeGCvUOmWYOvNMsxNqkCNM/viewform) The information provided on this form will be shared with me and with meetup organizers who are seeking speakers or collaborators to organize meetups. We will not use your information for any other purpose without your opt-in. Thanks in advance for your help. Looking forward to meeting many of you at Elasticsearch meetups!

If there is anyone in Sydney, AU, that would be willing to help organise a meeting please drop me an off-list email. I've been in contact with Leslie over the past few weeks and we have a potential date organised to coincide with the Sydney training in November, at this stage we're just looking for a venue to host us.

Leslie, I would have thought announcing local meetups is a great idea on this forum, you can always prefix the subject with [Meetup] or whatever as you've done. I don't think it's noise at all, I would think it's another good channel. cheers, Paul On 7 November 2013 08:23, Leslie Hawthorn \<[leslie.hawthorn@elasticsearch.com](mailto:leslie.hawthorn@elasticsearch.com) > wrote: > And we now have a venue in Sydney courtesy of the fine folks at > Atlassian.
