Need EuroOSCON lead

From
Josh Berkus

Folks,

We need someone to volunteer to get together speakers etc. for EuroOSCON (see
my previous post).   This person should be planning to go to EuroOSCON, and
will need (first of all) to recruit 3 or 4 PostgreSQL speakers to submit
proposals in 10 days or less.

I don't think I should do this from the US (and it's likely I won't be going)
and Peter isn't going either.   Volunteers?

I could help preparing talk about full text searching and other our contribs.

Josh,

I wouldn't mind submitting a proposal similar to what we're planning for
LWE-SF.  It's just that I may not get approval to travel...

Please do.  Make it clear in your proposal that you are the co-author of
Tsearch2, OpenFTS and GiST.

Since I'm having difficulty finding anyone to organize for eOSCON, please just
go ahead and submit.

No, I have no possibility to take part into eOSCON. I offered my help.

I'm interested in joining you, what kind of conference I can present?

I'm currently working on an infrastructure based on pgpool+slony-I, to prevent
from db failure, permit connexion pool, a bit of load balancing, etc..

Do you think I could present it there (in english for sure).

Thanks

At the US OSCon Slony was a very hot topic, so that type of presentation
sounds very appropriate to me.

That would be brilliant - excellent suggestion.

Hmmm, I checked the site for Language, but there is no mention of it.
Presumably that means English only, which is a shame...

I'll connect you with the organizers, and you can ask.  I wouldn't necessarily
assume English.

> Current Ideas/Volunteers for talks:

Also, you should know that the first Europe OSCON will be small, about 1/2 the
size of the one in the US.  This means that PostgreSQL is unlikely to get
more than 2 or 3 talks and a BOF.

Any way, I'll connect you two to Nat and you can take it from there.
