Thread: Do we want to do a PGDay at LISA '08?
PGers, Given the tremendous success Josh D. has had at placing (and running, to date) PostgreSQL days at open source conferences, do we want to do one at LISA08? Deadline to apply is May 20th. If we don't do that, we may just want a couple of speakers and a booth. Thoughts? Can we pull this off? http://www.usenix.org/event/lisa08/ --Josh

I have already committed us to it, even if it is just me in a blue shirt :P > > Thoughts? Can we pull this off? > > http://www.usenix.org/event/lisa08/ Sure. We have already been invited. I see no reason why we couldn't pull something off. Joshua D. Drake

Well done, both. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com
Josh, > Well we will have a booth.

Also, because of pgCon activities, I missed the deadline by 48 hours. However, I have proposed a BOF, an HTGR session, and a The Guru Is In session. --Josh Berkus

I can probably attend this also. I'll also bring it up at the next PUG meeting to see if anyone else wouldn't mind taking a trip down to San Diego. -- Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. Visit the Los Angles PostgreSQL Users Group (LAPUG) http://pugs.postgresql.org/lapug
