Hi Bill:
Thanks for suggesting Alex Honor as a speaker for BALUG. At the present time, BALUG has speakers booked through September. However, SVLUG and PenLUG are certainly possibilities.
The next available slots are SVLUG on May 7 and PenLUG slot on May 22.

A fellow named Alex Honor recently spoke at the Sacramento Linux Users Group and I heard it was a great talk, so I invited him to come out to LUGOD in April. He said he'd be interested in speaking at other groups as well.
Here's a quick summary from the LUGOD site:
CTL is a new open source project for enterprise management, written in Java, but with bindings to Python, Perl, Ruby, shell, Javascript, and more. CTL is not an acronym; think of what 'apachectl' does for the Apache webserver, and imagine what such a tool might do for your entire enterprise and you've got CTL.
About the Speaker:
Alex Honor is open source project lead and principle architect at ControlTier. Formerly, he was head of E*trade system engineering, and carried them from dot boom to dot bomb and has been specializing in cradle to grave distributed enterprise software management ever since.
Would you guys be interested in booking him? Let me know off-list and I'll pass his contact info along to you.
