Create "lightning talk in a box" for people to give at meetups

[indirect]

This will ideally be a ~5 minute talk that gets the idea of Ruby Together across, makes it clear what we do for the community, makes it clear that we need devs and companies to join so we can fund this work, and mentions the benefits we offer to members.

• slide deck for said talk
• script for said talk
• video recording of said talk so shy people can still give it by playing the video
• talking points for giver of said talk including membership plan options and examples of what Ruby Together has done

Here's the script notes from one of those talks:

As a company that builds software with Ruby, your business and its profits rely on the public infrastructure of the Ruby language, including RubyGems, Bundler, and the RubyGems.org servers. That infrastructure is critical to the operation of your business, and before Ruby Together, it was maintained entirely by volunteers!

Ruby Together pays our systems administrators and developers fairly for their work on Ruby infrastructure, ensuring that issues can be resolved as needed rather than waiting for a volunteer to be awake and have spare time. RubyGems.org downtime keeps your developers from being able to work on your business, a cost much higher than membership dues.

We already have a specific roadmap of improvements that will make Ruby better for everyone, including your team. Faster bundling, stable servers, and new features and projects that will increase development speed and security. Our team has a solid track record of delivering year-over-year improvements to Ruby's public infrastructure, and Ruby Together will enable those improvements to continue for years to come.

Membership in Ruby Together provides your development team with the direct benefits of networking opportunities and the indirect benefits of stable, well-maintained Ruby infrastructure. As a 501(c)(6) non-profit, membership dues paid to Ruby Together are usually tax-deductible. Corporate memberships start at just $200 per month, and every level provides special benefits to your company.
