Well since I got brought into this :P. East will *not* require
standardized templates. If Dan wishes to with PgCon that is up to him
(but it doesn't strike as something he would want to do).

Jonah, one of the great things about open source is that we all get to
represent our own point of view. We don't get sucked into the great
dairy farm of Oracle or Sun representation. Each person is able to stand
on their own merits.

If you need a standardized template to get your message across in a
useful way then you are likely not someone who should be doing public
speaking in the first place.

Now... how is any of this on topic for this list?

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
