I apologise for the inconvenience, but I will not be able to be at LSM on the 9th and 10th. My wife announced that she had to attend a physics congress on the 9th and 10th in replacement of a collaborator. We have a young child of 11 months and we connot leave him alone. Furthermore, Andreas Pflug <Andreas.Pflug@web.de>, pgAdmin3 core developper, will only be present on the 11 th. Therefore, both Andreas and I stay open to any proposal: - Peter Eisentraut may confirm he is willing to do a "Why choose PostgreSQL" presentation on the 9th, which is his only available date. Otherwise, Andreas and I can manage such a presentation on the 11th. Peter, could you confirm your presentation on the 9th? If you require so, we can take over and make a presentation on the 11th. What is your choice? - Andreas and I can manage a presentation about "PostgreSQL administration tools" (mainly pgAdmin3 and PhpPgAdmin3) on the 11th. The main point is to show how easy and powerfull our tools are. Also, we would like to demonstrate our new installers (RPM, Win, Debian, Slackware, etc...). Best regards, Jean-Michel POURE

The 9th appears to be the best compromise between all potential speakers and communities. Plus, it doesn't overlap with the 'High Level Language for Application Development' topic, which, I believe, is likely to attract the same audience (count me in). That being said, the Meeting does last four days and it's possible to arrange workshops. > - Andreas and I can manage a presentation about "PostgreSQL administration > tools" (mainly pgAdmin3 and PhpPgAdmin3) on the 11th.

How many people could attend a workshop? I prefer public presentations if possible. Let's wait for Peter Eisentraut answer. Only Peter can confirm the date of the 9th. Best regards, Jean-Michel

You're probably right about this; from what I've seen in the previous editions, workshops gather smaller audiences than lectures - probably because they compete with other theme's lectures, which are usually very interesting too. Fact is, sometimes nobody turns up. If you plan to attend the 11th anyway, perhaps you could give a little tour, which could during a one-hour workshop, preceded by an introduction. After the Pg lecture(s) on the 9th I would mention the possibility of a workshop. If you have a good command of the tools, perhaps exisiting documentation, and you have demo'ed them a couple of times or have a good idea of what you'd put in a demo, then you can probably improvise a nice little workshop, answer people's questions, etc. But please don't spend the same kind of effort on LSM's workshops as you would on a lecture. -- Jean-Louis Leroy Sound Object Logic http://www.soundobjectlogic.com

Yes, you are right. I will discuss this issue with Andreas and will get back to you. Are you able to print documents (one page teasers)? Best regards, Jean-Michel
