*Rusell* and *Peter*, thank you so much!

This provides more than enough for a great session.

Based on Russell's input I am going to pick *Monitoring * as the theme for
the month of September.

Maybe we can use this theme for the September workshop too. What do you
think @Russell?

Peter's suggestion immediately reminded me of the so-called "*F*up nights*".
Now, let me give you the context!

*"Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories
of professional failure. Each month, in events across the globe, we get
three to four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to
share their own professional fuckup. The stories of the business that
crashes and burns, the partnership deal that goes sour, the product that
has to be recalled, we tell them all."*


So, what I am hearing is basically a f*up night for IT professionals (as
opposed to businesses and startups)
