The speaker is a long-time member of the MN RPC and an MN KV who was invited to speak about his engineering experience at the tech company he works for. GOFIRST has meetings for this purpose on a biweekly basis to provide networking opportunities to any student at UMN (so these meetings are attended by FIRST alumni at the U and students who have no idea what FIRST is other than that 2 regionals and an off-season state championship for FIRST are held on campus yearly).
I know a couple members of Bison Robotics also received a copy of the document, but I'm not sure if it was presented to them at a general meeting meant to introduce students to a specific company or if it was emailed to them for review/some other reason.
With regards to Knufire's comment, I'll just say that I had been considering making a CD account for a couple weeks now (starting from the 8 plays thread) and held off because I'm worried that voicing my PERSONAL opinions here will cause me to no longer be allowed to volunteer in MN though I have volunteered as a ref for the past 3 years (1 year in MN & at Champs, 1 year in MN & CO, and this year (for now) in MN). Additionally, all of my comments are my own PERSONAL opinion and do not reflect the opinions of any of the organiziations I am involved with now or have been involved with in the past.
