Thread: linux.conf.au
So the linux.conf.au "miniconf" schedule was just posted, and it seems it has an "open source database" track ... which consists on 4 MySQL talks, and a SE-PostgreSQL talk by KaiGai-san. http://linux.conf.au/programme/schedule/ Not that I'm going to attend, but still it's pretty disappointing. There was supposed to be a hefty bunch o'PG guys down there, wasn't it? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

I'd be happy to go ;) Cheers, David (but I'd be even happier if some of the people nearer by would do it) -- David Fetter <david@fetter.org> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: david.fetter@gmail.com Remember to vote!

The trick is to find people on the ground--NZ is a whole other country and the closest part is several hours' flight from LCA's venue--and coordinate something in advance, as starting on site is just too chaotic. It looks like Devdas Bhegat will be there, too :) Cheers, David. > > Joshua D.

For the last 3+ months, they indicated there would be no open source db miniconf, and they pulled the entry ontheir site. Obviously they changed plans, but failed to communicate that well. I believe they are having difficultiesin general, as the conference is usually sold out well before this point in the schedule, but they are stillspamming lists with pleas/adverts for people to buy a registration package (probably a combination of downturn, andlocation ...
