[volunteers] proposed speaker - Gluster, provider of open source cloud storage solutions

[Mehma Sarja]

Hi Danielle,

Thanks for your interest. Do not recall an earlier message from you. 
What will be the subject of the talk and is Mr. Periasamy providing the 
talk? Would the speaker be available for a talk in October 2011? We meet 
monthly, 1st Wednesday evenings, 7-9 PM, at Symantec's Vcafe room, 350 
Elllis Street, Mountain View, CA 94043, near E. Middlefield Road.

I will poll our users to see if there is interest. Please expect a 
message from me in the next couple of days.
