Hey Travis,
I'd be happy to come and do one of these talks. Send me an email directly
and we can figure out date and content.
I'd also suggest that if there are past MHVLUG meetings over the last year
or two that you think would be exceptionally interesting to the audience,
ask those speakers directly.
