Hi folks We’re going to have the first Bay Area OpenResty meetup tomorrow evening, in CloudFlare’s office, as originally planned about one month ago. When: ``` 5:30pm ~ 6:30pm, 9 March 2016 ``` Where: ``` 101 Townsend St San Francisco CA ``` Fee: ``` Free. ``` Meetup website: ``` http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-OpenResty-Meetup/events/228411221/ ``` If you like to come, please do RSVP on the web page above so that we can do proper preparation. Anyone who has good stories, tips, and case studies around OpenResty, NGINX, and/or Lua/LuaJIT in a Web environment is welcome to present a lightening talk (3 ~ 5 min). Presentation proposals are still open. Just drop me a line privately today. We hope that this is a place for OpenResty users and developers to find each other in person. Several OpenResty/NGINX developers of the CloudFlare Edge team will join us as well. We’ll have a screen, a microphone, and some food and beverage. Thanks CloudFlare for kindly sponsoring this event. Until now, we have the following presentations scheduled: 1. Marco Palladino, the CTO of Mashape, will talk about how Kong leverages OpenResty to provide API and Microservice gateway functionalities to upstream services. 2. Dragos Dascalita Haut of Adobe will present their work around OpenResty at Adobe. 3. As the creator of OpenResty, I will talk briefly about all the new features that have landed or landing to OpenResty, like semaphore API, new downstream SSL features, generic downstream TCP support, balancer\_by\_lua\*, a package management toolchain, and more. And finally, we’ll have a Q&A session in the end. OpenResty is a full-fledged web platform by integrating the standard Nginx core, LuaJIT, many carefully written Lua libraries, lots of high quality 3rd-party Nginx modules, and most of their external dependencies. It is designed to help developers easily build scalable web applications, web services, and dynamic web gateways. You can find more about OpenResty on its official web site: [https://openresty.org/](https://openresty.org/) See you tomorrow! Best regards, -agentzh
