Original Post...
We are working on scheduling a Dallas - Fort Worth Mango Meetup in May. It has been too long since we had a formal Mango event and we are going to try to get a trend moving in the DFW area. Looking for a good schedule for when to have the evening and we need a call for speakers. Let's start creating some awesome content from our DFW group and show the other regions how things get done in Texas!

Sounds like an awesome idea. VeeamON is in NOLA May 16 - 18, 2017, so we don't want to schedule anything that will conflict with that as it is a major conference and relatively local.

How about either May 25th or May 30th?

30th is probably better. Tuesdays tend to have the best turn out.
-
What should we talk about?
I could talk about PowerShell. Maybe something like PS101 - Introduction to PowerShell?

Good place to start. PS is always popular.

That is the day after Memorial Day. People will be busy catching up or on extended weekend. That is a horrible day to plan an event.

Good point, shooting for the 25th probably makes sense.

Definitely Thursday, May 25th @ @scottalanmiller's DFW house. Still trying to nail down a time.

Sounds good to me. Okay, putting a nail in on that one.
I'd say have people gather around 6, start the talks around 7:15?

Great, really excited about this event. It's time that we had something more technical going on in DFW. When we used to have regular technical meetups in Dallas we had a great turnout and produced some great content. Would be awesome to get back to that again.
-
Are we shooting for about 30 minutes of content each with time for Q and A?

30-40, yes. Or whatever is appropriate for the material that you have.
-
I'm planning on giving a talk as well. Does anyone have any requests?

How about a talk on the business case for encryption, where it is used most often, where it is most effective, benefits and drawbacks, etc.?
-
Adding @phillipdlee who is in DFW as well.
-
Tagging @brandon220 to make sure that he sees it.

You can definitely count me in. Will be arriving closer to 7pm.

This is just three days away!
