I'm not that opposed to them, I think if they can give a good talk about MySQL 
or PostgreSQL stuff that applies to platforms other than their own then that 
would be OK.  That said my aim is not to be the dictator of this group, if the 
consensus is against something then we will choose something else.

That could be useful.  Although I'd like this group to give benefits that 
can't be obtained by watching lectures on YouTube.

Rackspace has many videos on YouTube.

I believe that RackSpace runs on a customised version of OpenStack which 
requires bare metal to run on and takes about 1.5 hours for a single node 
(demo only) setup.  Maybe we could do something based on that if we can find 
an OpenStack expert willing to coordinate things.

AWS provides bare-metal instances which could be used for that or people could 
use their own systems if they have suitable spare hardware.

Red Hat's stated minimum hardware for OpenStack is 2G of RAM and 20G of 
storage.  I have systems much better than that to give away and probably 
whatever region you are in there's someone like me giving away computers.

Sure if we can find experts for it.
