I doubt that O'Reilly really needs those submitted. Has anyone
confirmed the talk itself with O'Reilly yet? As far as content,
this is a 30-minute talk, if I recall correctly, and the main
focus should be on "selling" PostgreSQL to the developers there,
with a few things thrown in for the other non-tecnical types there
(press, managers, non-DB people, etc.) Certainly new features should
be a part of it, but given our low profile, I think a little bit of
exapanding on our current strengths would be good too. It also
should be lively, funny, and interesting. A good example of this
is the Perl speech, which is always entertaining, no matter if
you use perl or not. Maybe not *quote* as many jokes as Larry Wall,
but certainly a few along with some entertaining slides.
Placement is also important. I will assume that every group that
spoke last year will speak at this one, but ideally we won't
get thrown on the end of the night. The best would be to follow
Perl's address, of course. It would be a tough act to follow, but
everyone will still be awake. :) I have no idea how they determine
these things, but my vote is for "as early as possible" in the night.
