[BLU/Officers] AMD Ryzen talk for May BLU meeting?

[John Abreau]

Hi, guys.

I haven't received a response yet from Mike Frysinger about his Gentoo talk
for the May BLU meeting. I just sent him another email asking him to
confirm by tomorrow (Fri May 1st) whether he'll be able to give hisd talk
on May 20.

I imagine at this point it's unlikely he'll be available, even if he does
respond.

Assuming he's not available, can you guys do a BLU talk remotely in Jitsi
on May 20 about the AMD Ryzen and its HPC implications?
