Thread: PostgreSQL at OSCON 2004
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The time and place for the Open Source Convention (OSCON) 2004 has just been announced: 2004 O'Reilly Open Source Convention July 26-30, 2004 Portland Marriott Downtown, Portland, OR Last year had a good PostgreSQL showing (including our own track) but I would like to see a lot more. I encourage everyone to think about doing a presentation, even if just a short one on a very specific PostgreSQL topic. The advocacy list is a good place to brainstorm about topic ideas. (I am CCing this initial one to general, please post any followups only to advocacy). I do not know what the "theme" of the convention is yet (they like to have themes) but some quick possible topic areas may be: PostgreSQL on Windows Replication Backups and Restores Converting from Oracle (or others) How I solved XXX using PostgreSQL PostgreSQL for "enterprise" computing Integrating PostgreSQL with PHP Handling large objects Others? - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200309241729 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: http://www.turnstep.com/pgp.html iD8DBQE/cg0IvJuQZxSWSsgRAlFqAKCctDykbIr2A1ZRgveY5edYIc6oKACeJbbm t4hUKjOGFZVURueI32aOtGs= =FjK/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

(seeing as how we're in downtown Portland) would be happy to assist with organizing anything local for this. We're also involved (at least I am) with Portland Linux User Group (http://www.pdxlug.org) and I'm sure they'd assist with tending the booth as well. As far as presentations, the more we can get the better and I think these are some great topics to cover. It's never too early to begin planning these things. MySQL had a booth this year, and PostgreSQL didn't. :-/ -Robby -- Robby Russell, | Sr. Administrator / Lead Programmer Command Prompt, Inc. | http://www.commandprompt.com rrussell@commandprompt.com | Telephone: (503) 222.2783
