Speaker Bureau

In order to help with the challenge of finding speakers for meetups please add your name to this page if you are willing to speak at a meetup. At a minimum add your name, topic(s) and timezone. Feel free to add anything else you feel is relevant.
Please use the IANA database name for your time zone. Please use a comma-space list of languages that you can deliver talks in comfortably. The space after the comma is important for help in searching for a language code.
For user group organizers who'd like to contact a speaker, please email the PgUS User Group Committee (ugcomm at PostgreSQL dot us), and we'll forward the request to the speaker.
