Places to give a talk
This is a list of places that Sandstorm community members should think about giving a talk. They're sorted by date of the event. If you can think of another conference or get-together where attendees would like to hear about Sandstorm, then please add it to this list!
If you're thinking of giving a talk, but have any difficulty at all paying for travel or conference fees, Sandstorm might be able to help you out. Email community@sandstorm.io and we will see what we can do.
If you'll be at a conference, we want to give you stickers you can hand out to attendees. Honestly we might want to give you enough to hand out to every attendee. Email us at community@sandstorm.io.
As you can see on the Sandstorm Talks page, many people have given a talk about Sandstorm at a programming or Linux or sysadmin meetup near them.
If you made an app written in Python, give a talk about it at a Python meetup.
If there's a Linux user group near you, tell people there what you like & don't like about Sandstorm.
Email me community@sandstorm.io if you need advice on this!
