[volunteers] [svlug] SVLUG needs a speaker/topic for Feb. 3rd, March 2nd

[Jesse Monroy]

Hey all,
As of this date, I have no idea how I will be returning to the Bay Area
come March of this year. However, as an entrepreneur, this is an almost
daily event. That is, I set a goal and I have no idea how I am going
to accomplish this.

Recently, I heard of the Eads bridge in Saint Louis - said to be built
by James B. Eads (designer) with Andrew Carnegie (steel magnet).
Built in 1874 it is still standing. Strangely this bride holds as much
mystique as the Golden Gate.

My friend Wade Horsey describe being an entrepreneur as such:
"""
It's like starting a plane company, then jumping of an extremely
high building. Then expecting your company to build a plane
around you before you hit the ground. -- Oh and you land safely.
""""

I expect hell and high water to be my friends on my way to
the SF Bay Area.

As such, with fairness to all, I will confirm my arrival no later
than Feb 3, 2016. If by that date I have not confirmed, those
handling the schedule are free to replace me. This means
on Feb 4, 2106 you should start looking for a replacement.
Again, I will confirm all by Feb 3, 2016.

If this is not clear, let me know.
Jesse Monroy Jr.
