Folks, Who should give these things? AFAIK, we will have lots of PostgreSQL luminaries there: me, Bruce, Nasby, JD, Selena, Fetter, Jeff, etc. --Josh Berkus

Have you filed for a BOF yet? If not, I'd better submit one. --Josh
+1 (for Selena on the lightning talk), although I'm fine with whatever the community decides. ;) Will be @ OSCON again this year, so I'm looking forward to the BOF (as always). ---Michael Brewer mbrewer@gmail.com
If no one else has already put in for one, yeah, I'd love to; last year's went really well. ---Michael Brewer mbrewer@gmail.com

I normally put in for a BOF as part of my regular OSCon prep, but has someone
already put in for the booth? IIRC Drake usually handles that?

IIRC Drake usually handles that? Oops! Sorry, Robert. I put the request in already. I mentioned all the regular suspects by name, and I'll see if I can add a few of you to the talk. JD had requested the booth already. Gabrielle Roth was going to manage volunteers and booth setup this year. -selena -- Selena Deckelmann United States PostgreSQL Association - http://www.postgresql.us PDXPUG - http://pugs.postgresql.org/pdx Me - http://www.chesnok.com/daily

No problem... note that the "State of" talk occures during the conference
proper, during a "state of projects" lightning talk session starting Thursday
morning. The BOF itself happens after hours (you should angle for Thursday
@7:30PM if possible), and as long as we have one designated contact, we can
do whatever we want during that time.

OS in EDU BOF's been accepted and scheduled for 7PM on the 24th; this doesn't conflict with any PostgreSQL-related BOFs, does it (now that our BOF's on Wednesday night)? ---Michael Brewer mbrewer@gmail.com
