Hi Amir, I just entered a talk submission for the group. One or more of us locally in the bay area should be able to attend/present. Setup the submission as general overview of bigtop and recent add of POWER8 on ubuntu. We can coordinate to have some slides where yourself, or someone from the team can talk to the POWER8 work.
