Thread: postgres conference in july
Guys, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following... I'm currently working on a project with the senior economist at the Treasury Board in the Canadian Federal Government. We'redeveloping a proto-type system, using postgres and plr, generating quarterly reports on all IT expeditures for the entirefederal govt. It's part of a larger initiative of creating a govt sponsored version of sourceforge to make availabletools, methodologies and documentation available accross the Canadian public service as well as the general public. Would people be interested in hearing of our efforts at the conference i.e. should I make a proposal submission? cheers

Robert, > Would people be interested in hearing of our efforts at the conference i.e. should I make a proposal submission? Submit it -- submission is free. If we decide that it's not suitable for the conference, or that we don't have enough time, then we'll let you know. You'd also better make sure that it's cleared for you to talk about this stuff. I know that here in the US a certain central financial quasi-government body is using Postgres extensively and we can't talk about it at all. Unfortunately, it's too late for OSCON. --Josh
Josh, I'm going to make a submission to the conference sometime today. I'd appreciate a little guidance as to exactly what shouldbe talked about. There is of course the technical aspect but another approach is the story telling and the 'politics'of how we got things moving which might be of interest to those who want to replicate the same process in theirown domain. Certainly, this project has the potential of a spinoff affect in the rest of Canada. I'll leave it up tothe commitee as to what you would like to see.

If you're doing something novel with the technology (maybe pgpool
hitting against a cluster of 5 cascading replication nodes via slony on
a multi-platform environment or some such) then I'd say go more
technical, otherwise I'd say the politics is probably more interesting.
imho.

I was thinking the politics might be interesting too since there's nothing technically special about the project.
