Thread: Booth at OSCON?
Folks, I've a potential offer of sponsorship for a small booth at OSCON. However, the sponsor wants us to do most of the staffing of the booth. For the people who are going, do you think that you can commit to covering it? This would mean that each of us would have to take at least 1/2 day in the booth, or better a full day, and that as many people as possible would be needed to staff it at lunchtime and 5pm. Elein, what do you think of this idea? -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Who is the sponsor? And *YES* I think we have enough people if all help out a little bit. I'm writing up an Postgresql OSCON presence status and will send it out soon. --elein On Wed, Jan 21, 2004 at 11:08:25AM -0800, Josh Berkus wrote: > Folks, > > I've a potential offer of sponsorship for a small booth at OSCON.

I'm planning on attending (God willing and the creeks don't raise) and
would be more than willing to do 1/2 day or better. As long as I don't
have to answer too technical of questions. I'm an old Oracle
user/developer (5/6 years ago) and have a pretty fair grip on the
relational theory stuff but just getting back into actual database design
again. I know what the rule system, functions, and friends buy a
developer and use them. I've done a few simple applications with several
more in the works. I do have to deal with MS SQL Server daily so
understand it's down-sides and get to cuss at MySQL a few times a month
when a php programmer(?) gets confused.
(Geez enough of this. I'm beginning to sound like I'm applying for a
job. Well maybe I am. :-)

If Andrew and Janusz agree that I should go, and my proposal for a Slony in depth presentation is accepted, I am in.

I can do it if I don't have to attend a PostgreSQL talk at the same time. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
