I'm the co-founder of a DevOps consultancy in London, UK (http://www.scalefactory.com/). I built the infrastructure for Songkick (YC07), and have worked with a number of other startups and large companies over the last few years.

I'll be visiting San Francisco to attend PuppetConf on 22nd and 23rd August this year, and whilst I'm in the Bay Area I'd like the opportunity to travel a bit, and hang out with other hackers. To that end, I'd like to make an open offer to startups or established smaller companies in the area:

I'll spend some of the day with you, talking about any and all of infrastructure architecture, automation, Puppet, continuous delivery, scalability, monitoring, and infrastructure testing as they relate to your business. All I ask in exchange is for you to show me some of the area's sights and nightlife; and contribute to the cost of my hotel stay.
