Meetup details:

[YES - THIS EVENT WILL BE HAPPENING! THE SKYDECK HAS POWER AND FILTERED AIR, AND OUR SPEAKERS ARE CONFIRMED.]

The UC Berkeley Cloud Community of Practice will be holding our 8th meetup in the Berkeley SkyDeck Penthouse. We have some excellent guests and topics and hope to see you there. This month we will be featuring three speakers: Jon Skelton, one of UC Berkeley's Senior Cloud Architects will be speaking AWS cloud security, the CEO of Intento will talk about challenges for developing enterprise AI solutions, and we are confirming details for a research-oriented talk which we will post here soon!

Everyone is welcome - this is a really inclusive group! You don't have to be an expert, or already know about cloud technologies; we get together so people can learn from each other. The Berkeley SkyDeck is at 2150 Shattuck, on the top floor (press "PH" in the elevator.)

Note: in order to make the event as inclusive as possible please know it is OK to bring kids - the SkyDeck is a child (and baby)-friendly venue. If you can't make it at this time, we do film all the talks and post them on YouTube.

About the format of the talks-- presenters have been invited to share their experience with a ~15 minute story framed around 3 questions:

1) WHY - Start with Why & the business value/value to mission. Why did you need cloud computing? Describe the big vision, business problem and/or academic challenge (not technical!) that you were trying to solve. (For example, teaching thousands of Berkeley students data science and making it come alive, or enabling citizen scientists around the world to crowdsource bird migration data to ascertain patterns...)

2) HOW - How did you end up using cloud computing to solve the challenge? How did you architect, build, design, etc. How do the pieces fit together and how does it work?

3) WHAT - What was the result? What did you learn? Share your war stories, lessons learned, insights, gotchas etc.
