Hello Russell & PLUG,
It would depend on which talk PLUG would be most interested in me giving.
If you pick one of he talks I listed that's already completed, I'm
prepared to do it whenever.
If you pick one of the talks that are 85% completion, I'll need more
time to finalize it.
If you pick the talk I remastered for BSidesPDX:
(How To Create A Persistent, LUKS Encrypted USB With A LUKS
Killswitch Using Parrot Linux)
I rewrote all the slides, and they're ready to present.
I also recorded video tutorials of the whole process.
which will make it way easier for anyone interested in following along
(making it more of a workshop than a talk)
(I forgot the syntax during a live demo once, i'll never let that
happen again)
I also made a cheatsheet with all the CLI syntax used in the talk.
(along with a corresponding descriptions).
Honestly, I'm honored and super excited to get the chance to talk at a
Linux User Group!
I'm completely flexible as to when you would like me to give the talk.
I eagerly await the decision of the LUG board members.
Thank you for time, and I appreciate you responding to my CFP submission.
(I submitted talks to all the Portland InfoSec Meetups a month ago,
and only 2/8 of them responded)
I expected the InfoSec community in Portland to be much more put
together than it appears.
I moved here from from Iowa to work at Intel.
And the InfoSec monthly meetups were incredible!
Top of the industry CSOs would be there, and between 700-1,000
attendees would show up each month.
I could really use some help meeting other people in the industry,
anyone's help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Mark! I forwarded this to Michael (also cc'd here). Would
you prefer this month or a later one? It might be better for us to
defer you until the weather is worse and the outdoor patio is less
viable, although if you are warming it up for BSides, then maybe
this month is better for you. -- Russell Senior PLUG Volunteer
