Thread: Please submit for OSCON!
Folks, The Call for Papers for O'Reilly Open Source Conference is open. Please submit a talk if you can go to Portland! Over the last 3 years, PostgreSQL has come to be the pre-eminent DBMS at OSCON mainly through maintaining a really good booth and submitting really good talks. Let's keep this up. http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/content/home http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/cfp/13 Futher, please e-mail me & Elein copies of your submissions, both so that we can give you feedback on how to make the submission better, and second so that we'll know to vote on your submissions. Especially desired are presentations about using PostgreSQL for some other interesting project. Less than 10% of OSCON attendees are interested in databases on their own, so database-geek-only talks are unlikely to be accepted. Instead, think about submitting stuff like: -- Scaling up Python applications on PostgreSQL -- Migrating J2EE applications off of Oracle -- Implementing a 10TB data warehouse using all OSS tools -- Open source GIS boot camp -- Rails & PostgreSQL: How & Why We may or may not be having a PostgreSQL Day before OSCON (Josh, Selena?) but we'll keep people posted. But submit a talk today! -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco

I'd love to have another PostgreSQL Day before OSCON. Let's just do it. We're working on East right now, but I'll see if PDXPUG can step up with some organization support. -- Selena Deckelmann PDXPUG - Portland PostgreSQL Users Group http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx http://www.chesnok.com/daily

John is actually on the LinuxWorld committee and is trying to get them to give us space. I will keep everyone posted. Sincerely, Joshua D.
