Sounds neat! I think we've got talks through September right now (but people have dropped before). I think we could expand this just a bit to get to 45 minutes with an intro on what graphQL is?

[ksteigerwald]

I can flush this out to 45 minutes no problem. I've been working with Hasura quite a bit now so will have plenty to add to my original presentation. Also, if you need to push this to October/November, thats fine too.

Hi @ksteigerwald ! If you're still interested in giving this talk, we'd love to get you on the schedule. What is your availability for Nov or Dec? Thanks for your interest!

[ksteigerwald]

I will be away over veterans day weekend, but free the rest of November. December I will be free until the last week.

[jakerella]

Hi Kris! December is actually going to be a NationJS after party versus a normal meetup. That said, January is open, thoughts?

[ksteigerwald]

Hello Jordan. December is meant for partying January will work fine. This is good as I am presenting on this topic again at work. I should have some fresh content and examples.

[jakerella]

Nice! You're scheduled for January 9!

@lizafloyd ^

[jakerella]

Hey @ksteigerwald Can you expand on the talk abstract at all? I'm creating the meetup event for January 9 and wanted to give a little more context for attendees.

[ksteigerwald]

Yes, that could use some polish. I will post an updated abstract tonight!

[ksteigerwald]

@jakerella Updated. Let me know if this works or not.

[jakerella]

Thanks! Looks good

[jakerella]

Hi Kris! I'm guessing you saw this, but the January meetup was posted. Can you be sure to RSVP?

Thanks!

@jakerella Someone on meetup was confused over the title given it included 'Weekend'. I updated the title in the hope to make things more clear.
