Los Angeles area:

- OWASP security meetup: this is great! Hosted at a WeWork or a local company. Great stuff. I'm not sure their funding model, but it's working. https://www.meetup.com/owasp-los-angeles/

- Socal Python: we haven't found good venues that support talks so... the meetings are more social hours. This is fine. https://www.meetup.com/socalpython/

- LA DevOps: only one physical meeting so far. The bar let us show slides in a nice patio in the back, but it was so loud I couldn't hear. I hope they'll find a better venue. https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-ZZQWJLTm/

I'd love to start giving talks again, on "Fast Development" and organizational topics, but have prioritized my job for the moment. Ah well.

The pandemic killed a fantastic meetup called "Papers We Love" here in San Diego. I miss the many great people (and papers) I met through PWL, and would be thrilled to see something like it again.

If not, we're just going to have to jump-start it ourselves.
