ads,
I can make it to FOSDEM.
Can't see any list of previously proposed talks, so I'll just propose
these:
1. "PostgreSQL 8.3 New Features"
2. "PostgreSQL High Availability"
Will do the second talk if we don't have enough speakers or we have a
drop-out.
I'll be making use of the DevRoom and looking forward to discussing any
new features people want to talk about, depending upon which
developers/users turn up.
