I received an email today:

Demos Happen Here – State Finals

Dear Chris

Congratulations!! We are excited to advise that your demo has been chosen to proceed to the next round of the demo competition – the State Finals.

We received several incredible entries in the National Community Demonstration Competition, and now it is your turn to strut your stuff and present live at the State Finals.

I now have to stand up in front of a judging panel and group of other very worthy peers to give the FSRM presentation again!

The rest of the field is here and there’s some excellent presentations. I was hoping to be the only infrastructure focused one up there but I see Ken Schaefer has sneeked two great presentations in at the last minute! Ken does some top talks and always seems to be one step ahead of the pack.

Really looking forward to see it goes and learn a couple of presentation tips and tricks from the others there!

All this from make a bit of free time to join a user group and being part of the community!
